Nobody else answered yet? "Sasch" is listed in the CashCoinConnection site as a card room in Los Angeles, with no further details on its address or years of operation. No $5000 chip is shown as having existed. That is a high value for a long-ago card game. I have not been able to find nay further information as to who or what Sasch was, and I have never seen any of the lower-valued chips which are said to exist (someone else must have a few). By the looks of it, your chips have been scorched from a fire. Perhaps the card room or storage area for its chips burned down?
It is also possible that Sasch was an individual so his/her chips would have been used strictly in a home game. Such chips would generally not have much value to collectors; at least not to me. The hat-and-cane mold indicates that the T. R. King Company of Los Angeles manufactured the chips. But they did the same for many, many casinos, card rooms and individuals over the years.
I might be interested in buying one of your chips but don't know what price you have in mind. Perhaps respond with what you think one (or all three) might be worth.
