they're not bad... made by blue chip. the inlays aren't actually shaped but only colored to give them the appearance of being shaped... check out the review of blue chips: http://chiptalk.net/forum/showthread.php?t=9315
Those are Blue Chip chips on the "fan of flames" mold (commonly mis-referenced as the seashell mold). Although I cannot give you a blow by blow historical account of the Paulson clan, I do know the Blue Chip company was indeed founded by one of its members - I am sure many other members could give you the specifics. I don't know anything specific about that particular inlay, but the mold itself is very common and not at all hard to find.

Too bad Scott didn't come to Chiptalk first. We could have saved him quite a bit of cash (and one heinous set of Phil Helmuth chips).
