Can anyone tell me what I have here???

The red and black chips in the top left corner are showing the front and back of the chip, they look and feel like ASMs (pretty sure they are ASM).

The pink/tan is obviously a paulson...It reads "Horseshoe Casino, Gardena, CA.... 50 cents"

The rest are plastic, but have strange hotstamp designs with what looks like a deer/elk/???

***That black plastic chip on the left also has the deer on it, but I accidentally put both in facing the same way**

Any ideas?? Gamingore, you there??

top left is on the triangles and clubs mold. I believe they were made by the Burt Company (before it was ASM). I've seen these before, I think it's an advertising chip.

the hot-stamped elk chips are most likely from an Elks Lodge.

Looks like the Arrow mold from the 70's, we used to see a whole bunch of those back in the Stone Age!!! Before most of you were born.

Thanks for the info so far...more than I found.

Anyone have any clue as to the value?

Also, any clue about the Horshoe $.50 chip? Is it an older chip that is no longer in circulation, etc.?

What does the word at the bottom say? Your Horseshoe chip seems to be from the Gardena poker room, which is closed.

For those who don't know, California has card clubs that aren't allowed to have slots or other table games. Gardena was a hot-spot for poker for decades.

Here's a link with some history on the Horseshoe in Gardena.

The pieces on the triangle & clubs mold are probably only worth a few dollars each. The hot-stamped stuff is of no significant value either, to my knowledge.

If I was going to toss a guess on that 50-cent piece, I'd say $3-8. I'm just throwing it out there, how'd you acquire these anyways?

E-bay

I will try to post the auction later on, I gotta run now.

As best I can tell, the "Fabulous Las Vegas" chips are generic, souvenir type chips. Value is probably in the $1 - $3 range, each, unless you had a quantity of them. In which case value would be very much lower.

The red w/3 white inserts, the two blacks w/3 white insets and the white w/3 black inserts are all appear to be RTP (Gamblers General Store). The appears to be an Elk and therefore a generic Elk issue, while the white is a Moose and therefore a generic Moose issue. I do not know what the black has on the reverse. I say "generic" because no Lodge number is found on the chips. If you go to the GGS website, you can see that these two hot-stamps are available to anyone and I suspect that a Moose and Elk Lodge somewhere ordered these as their club chips and saved some money by not having the Lodge number imprinted.

Value... $1 or less.

The red and green clover leaf chips are $1 or less, but I've forgotten who made them, but I suspect RTP (GGS) again.

Lastly, the Horseshoe Casino, Gardenia, CA fifty center... Obviously Paul-Son, but I will need to check my at-home price guide for value and date. I will edit that in later.
