from http://www.antiquegamblingchips.com/molddesign_dice.htm "...An interesting thing about the arrowdie mold is that there is one hashmark on each side of an arrowdie chip. Each side has 12 dice (2 sets of 1 thru 6). So there are two one-spots (aces) on each side. On each side there is only one hashmark (looks like a slanted file mark) above (only) one of the one-spot dies. Same thing on the other side. It is hard to see on worn chips." example from http://www.antiquegamblingchips.com/mold/arrowdieHash.jpg attached.

Damn. Beat me to it...

that is a interesting mold. All of the molds I see now have the designs "recessed" into the chip instead of having the area around the shape recessed.

You may make me a collecotor out of me soon.

That's called embossed.

Did I miss something? I thought HK had to clarify his answer... What was the clarification?

Last night, I found the answer and went to post it and found HK had already posted the same answer I was about to post. But the post between HK's and mine was GO asking HK for clarification.

I couldn't figure out what the clarification was, based on what I read on teh same site HK pointed to. So I was interested for what additional information GO was looking for...

I know it was 2:00 am, but I couldn't have dreamed it...
