Really unusual stuff from Jim Blanchard

These were on eBay recently. Sold by Jim Blanchard of Atlantic Standard Molding who has loads of unusual items from years gone by.

The plastic chips are inlaid with silver-colored metal designs. They are inlaid into the plastic, but because of the complexity of the design, I think they are acid-etched rather than die-cut. This is probably how the metal inlays used in the Taho Village roulettes were made, although those chips were clay, not molded plastic. The Shield design is on a plain-mold chip.

The LVC rectangle is described as a Faro marker, and is attributed by Jim to Las Vegas Club in LV. It's clay and about the thickness of a standard chip.

Yes. Though interesting; the technique dates back
