Here's the problem Von and I don't have an answer.
These could be real chips, made for a real cruise ship. If so they were ordered and not purchased (because the cruise ships went out of business) so the people at Paulson sold them as fantasy chips.
However, they could be fantasy chips, after the ship stopped running, using the same dies and different colors, or the same colors!
I own some of these chips and I purchased them as Fantasy chips from someone who bought them at the Paulson store.
To sumarize: I don't know. But I do know that some in like new condition came from the retail store. The 50c light blue HS is one of them.
Maybe someone else who bought them from the store can fill in some more holes and details. Unless I see something, proving otherwise. These are fantasy chips in my mind.
Happy hunting!
