Actually those look like some styrene based chips that were coming out of Asia (Taiwan or Hong Kong) in the early 80's. They're probably about 3-4 grams apiece. I've got a stack of 50 of them along with a set styrene composite (I think they used glass not "clay") chips that are molded with the names of various Vegas casinos (like a Paulson House Mold) that are also in about the 4gr range. The mold was clearly an attempt to simulate the H&C mold and be able to get the product pass US Customs at the same time.
