TCR actually lists that chip as "V4288.C" (cancelled) and further states that it is always found in Lucite. So, it would appear that TCR terms Lucite (or other, clear, resin-based, entombments as cancelled.
Thanks for showing!

Below is an example of when the entombment process fails!
The base is slightly larger than the top, giving this paperweight a slightly beveled shape. Unfortunately, there are air bubbles over most of the hat and canes, the overall thickness of the puck is not uniform, i.e., the top surface has a slope and it is NOT from front to back when the chip is aligned and instead slopes downward from the 4 o'clock point to the 10 o'clock point. The top surface and beveled side is smooth, but the bottom is very rough and concaved, giving it a sharp edge, which chips easily, as evidenced by the several chips.
Lastly, the resin (probably not Lucite) is yellowed. It seems to be home made.
