I am showing these here to sell tonight or Monday to Chip Board denizens. Then, on to eBay. Only one per customer, $12 only, PayPal OK.
I doubt they are poker chips, but surely they were made by a poker chip company. I never saw these before, and these are all I have of them. A woman showed me a box of about 44 of them, each different -- card suits and card rank. (Then I lost contact with her.) They must have been made for either a game or as bridge table trump-table indicators.
They are the standard size and style of clay poker chips -- 1-9/16", excellent condition, inlay on only one side (reverse side is plain). The inlays were very professionally put in. I am keeping the diamond chip, where I pried up the inlay some to be sure that it was an inlay, not an imprint.
