Help ID these roulette chips (1 Viewer)

I'm told that they're Paulson roulette chips, but I can't imagine how anybody would know. Are they plastic or clay?
As you can see from one of the pictures, they're a hair smaller than a Paulson casino de Mexico.
Thanks for any thoughts.
I was thinking about relabeling them to use as quarters.

Chipvault just had a bunch of these for sale last week

Right, that's where I got them. They were cheap enough, so I grabbed them, but now I'm trying to learn something about them.

I went back and looked. These are from the Casablanca Aruba. The roulettes are clay manufactured by Paulson, who did the entire chip bank for the casino (with the exception of some Chipcos). I purchased the retired chips and they were receiver in original Paulson cartons. Hope this helps. Here is a link to the CHIPGUIDE for reference.

yep definitely compression molded clay, you can see the compression lines around the sides. Plain mold with small inlay

Those are lathe marks, btw, nothing to do with compression.
