At first glance, I'd call it an ASM house mold.

There's an example here:

But no information listed yet. And if he doesn't know for sure, no one does. It's a nice looking mold. ASM seems a good guess but there's something that makes me think it might be other.

Yeah, I really like it a lot. I saw a few California casinos with that same mold.

With that off-center inlay my first guess was Blue Chip.

	glos_inlay The label or decal on a poker chip. Quality inlays are inlaid or pressed into the surface of the chip, not laid on top of it like a sticker.

The example from the chipguide looks older than BC and seeing some of the other examples, especially the edgespot patterns makes me lean a bit more towards thinking they're ASM.

It's definitely a nifty old school looking mold.

OK... It's definately ASM, but they do not own the mold. I sent them an e-mail....

message: I was curious... is the chip shown in this location an ASM chip?
If not, do you happen to know who makes this mold?

Thanks.

And this was their reply...

I showed the chip that your talking about to the owner and yes we did make the chip but it is not one of our molds. The company who put the mold on that chip was from Canada and the company name was Thunderbird Gaming. We think they are out of business. But we did make the chip.

Let me know if I can help you with anything else.
