I found this at an antique faire here in Tucson today. It is a stickered chip that uses artwork from the Horseshoe Casino, Gardena fantasy chips, as shown here: http://www.ccgtcc.com/xfantasy/images/horseshoeca.jpg
What is different about this chip is the mottled (fuzzy) image on the inlay, but this appears to be a function of the inlay material being a very thin fabric or vinyl. The adhesive is very weak and by peeling up an edge, the whole inlay popped off! The chip base appears to be a high quality product, in that edges are very sharp, and it is very flat.
Secondly, the base chip is in a mold that I have never seen before. I am not sure what the mold is, but it looks like a letter "P" with an arrow.
So I ask, has anyone seen this chip or mold before?
