Shown below are photos of part of a Large Chip Collection I recently purchased. The bulk of this 40 year collection is housed in a magnificent oak cabinet which measures 56" High x 27" Wide x 22" Deep. The cabinet has 30 drawers which contain hand crafted peg board and plexiglass holders which house 126 chips per drawer. There were countless hours of labor involved in constructing the custom made holder/display boards.Completely loaded this cabinet would hold 3780 chips !!
The cabinet is on large wheels which allows it to be easily moved in spite of its weight of several 100s of pounds. It is an impressive and beautiful piece of furniture and it is very well constructed. The heavy metal drawer pulls are marked "Hamilton Mfg. Co. It was possibly originally a printers or machinist cabinet.
The collection is primarily comprised of old poker chips of all sorts - inlaid, embossed, engraved, Crest & Seals, etc. I plan on merging my poker chip collection with this massive collection and hope to fill all the drawers to capacity.
Along with the cabinet were numerous boxes, carousels and other chip holders containing 1000s of other chips.
I hope you enjoy viewing this collection and cabinet as much as I do.
I will be selling off duplicates and chips I do not collect from this collection over the next several months.
Take care,
