Now I ask you my friends, is there anything more beautiful than a chip with an inlay? (That’s a rhetorical question only, keep your comments about crest & seals, brass cores and jetons to yourself, thank you)

Here we have sixteen beautiful examples from the golden age of inlaid chips. I think they’re priced fairly and there are three of freebies FOR THE FIRST THREE PURCHASERS (only one freebie to each of the first three purchasers, the rest of you are out of luck).

Of course if anybody would like to take home the whole package before anything sells they can do so for $400 delivered to the USA.

Just look at that dancing lady on the Last Frontier chip! Her petticoats can be yours as well as the petticoats the California Club bear is wearing too. Del Webb’s genie is just waiting to join your collection, and that Holiday Casino Bi-Centennial chip is sure to bring back some memories of smooching with your sweetheart on the hood of your parent’s Buick while you watched that fireworks display back in '76. I promise your ride on either of the Carousel chips won’t make you dizzy. And, how can you refuse Ms. Jessie Beck, a chip that’s got a lot going for it: small crown, quarter pie and a photo of your grandmother to boot! I don’t know whether the Bal Tabarin is pink or salmon, but you can’t go wrong at fifteen smackers. Skipping over the first FREEBIE, next comes the Castaways, which has what looks like a faint rectangular cancellation, which might be either of the two cancellations mentioned in TCR. The Shy Clown is dirty but who can refuse a clown for fifteen bucks? The Kings Inn would be a royal addition to your collection and the hep cat on the Glass Crutch will wail on his sax when you take him home to mama. Two more FREEBIES and last but not least the Overland Hotel. How often do you see a sawtooth inlay on a chip? Not often enough!

Okay, get crackin’ and post some of those signs! I accept PayPal only and only ship inside the USA.
