I ended up with these chips after winning an eBay auction recently. I believe they likely came with the wooden chip rack that you see in the pic behind them:
If they were original to the rack, then they were likely manufactured by the Pla-Wood company of Cleveland, Ohio. I have no idea how old they are, or from what type of wood they are made.
I can tell you that they are extremely light. They are no more than about 2.5 grams each. And the face of each shows a fairly open grain. They are dirty, but not filthy. I have not attempted to clean them in any way, so if you want them, you can decide what, if any, cleaning should be done. They are about 37 - 38 mm across and approx 2.5 - 3 mm thick.
The quantities are as follows:
49 white
25 blue
19 red
Please note,
this sale is for the chips only.... I'm keeping the rack.
They are being sold "as is". As noted above, I cannot determine the age for certain, so I'm not promising that these are antique or rare in any way. However, they might make a nice addition to someone's collection.
Feel free to PM me here with an offer, if you're interested in these chips. Or you can email me directly at:

Thanks!
