Looks like a hostamped super diamond chip to me...

They sell those chips many places, not sure of the manufacturer (if it is a super diamond).

I guess it could also be from some older manufacturer like Burt & Co. or something...I don't know, I guess you will have to wait for someone who is more of an expert in this area.

Kinda looks like the font ASM uses on their hot stamped initials. It does look like a super diamond and, according to their website they used to hot stamp super diamonds for 10 cents a chip, but these are now discontinued on their site.

Hotstamped Super Diamond. That's my final answer.

Well you should be able to tell if its plastic or clay and that will tell you if its a super diamond or a Burt Co mold. Looks like it could be vintage clay.

p.s. please don't cross post this in multiple forums, once is enough.

This is a clay chip not plastic.
Where do I find out about Burt Co.?

Well they are long since out of business. Are you trying to buy more or find the value or the history or what?

Made by Jack Todd Co., not Burt Co. as I first thought.
