C-Suits Mold & Circle Club Card Room, CA

I’ve been trying to find more information on where and when the very rare and elusive C-Suits mold was used. The only example posted on the ChipGuide, are Andy’s San Jose. http://chipguide.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=CASJAN&v=3297955820

To find more I went through both volumes of The Gaming Table (TGT). It turns out that there is no standard term that TGT uses for the mold.
Andy’s San Jose – is listed as SUITS
MS (location unknown) – is listed as SUITS.
SUITS is also the TGT designation for the CARO mold, but it is easy to eliminate those because those listings are for French or French territory casino chips.

Reno’s Club, Kerman CA (1959-1988) is listed as C-SUITS
These rare chips, which I have never seen before, recently sold in Doug Saito’s auction. Below is a photo I took from the paper catalog.

Finally, my question. On page 233 of TGT, the Circle Club Card Room, Bakersfield, CA is listed as having “SUITSY” chips. This is the only use of the term I found anywhere in TGT. Phonetically, it would be pronounced “Suits C”. Have any of you ever seen C-Suits chips for this card room?

Or do you think this is typo for the Bud Jones “8-Suits” chips they did have?

Have any of you ever seen other hot stamped C-Suits chips?
