I'm collecting barrels from as many manufacturers and I'm stumped on verification with these Canterbury Park $1 chips. Chances are they're Matsui, but I hope they're Abbiati since I don't have a barrel of them yet (my motivated reasoning...).

The River Rocks are Matsui. I've confirmed this by looking at ChipGuide and seeing other Matsui chips in their lineup (designs only Matsui makes). Manufacturers aren't listed on ChipGuide for these.

Canterbury Park recently updated their $1 and $10 chips, but both of these appear to be designs made by both Abbiati and Matsui based on what I can find in their respective catalogs. However I can't find any Matsui-exclusive chips in Canterbury's lineup as they have only two new chips, the rest being old and Bud Jones (I think).

Canterbury's dark blue is actually translucent, as shown in one of the images. A bright flashlight from behind will light up the 1's, edge spots, and ring. Can't find any info from Abbiati or Matsui regarding offering translucent plastic.

Anybody have a definitive answer? Supporting evidence is helpful, but alas this is the internet...

Matsui Catalog: See page 12 for ring denominations

Abbiati Catalog: See page 18 for ring denominations. Also the "1" in Abbiati looks to have a slightly rounded top in the catalog, vs the pointed-top 1's seen on the chips.
