Wanted Christy and Jones hat and cane $1’s (1 Viewer)

[guyfleegman]

Looking for C&J:
$1’s
$25’s
$100’s
to go with these Mint Club $5’s for a mixed set. These $5’s are from the late ‘50’s and are uncirculated.
I just love the C&J hat and cane mold and feel.
Looking for minty inlaid old school chips with edge spots...
Let me know what you have.
Cheers,
Joe

Amazing!

I've never felt a C&J HC, just send me a rack so I can test it out. I promise to return them.

I have almost two racks of some hot stamped purple freeplay $1's that are C&J. They feel pretty nice.

Yes they are!

I’ve got 120 hot stamped .50 C&J chips that are orange with three blue inserts from The Post available!
Perfect frac for when you find the $1 chip!

 

[guyfleegman]

Bumping those up!
I have a line on some fracs but still looking for an inlaid slotted C&J $1.

 

[guyfleegman]

Also looking for a rack of $25’s and Hundo’s.

Chip guide says they're 1972 LCVs...

Chip guide is unfortunately wrong on that.
As you can see from the spot pattern on the higher denoms. The curve on the inside of the 312 is a dead giveaway.

Christy & Jones chips were manufactured by the Burt Company up until C&J dissolved in 1965. The chips from The Post are circa 1970's so I do not think they are C&J chips. In 1965 the hat and cane chips were produced by the Burt company for Paulson up until about 1970 when Paulson started to manufacture them.

edit to add:

The sloppy edge spots are actually a tell tale sign of Paulsons early years.

 

[guyfleegman]

I would certainly step aside to David O’s knowledge.
I was under the impression that the concave inner edge of the spots made them NOT Paulsons. This makes me wonder if the Post chips feel like C&J, use same clay etc..

 

[David O]

Ok so @guyfleegman is still looking for some chips!!! Let get off of the derail. Let's help him out!

 

[guyfleegman]

Thanks big guy.
YOU could always slide those T-Birds.....

Thanks big guy.

I might but I am still trying to finish out the second rack. I might have found some but they are asking about $10 per chip!

 

[guyfleegman]

Bump!!!

Bump!!!

David...
comparing The Post chips to other known C&J chips are almost a dead match. everything from feel, sound, weight, colors, and especially size [they are almost always a hair; 1-2mm larger than Paulson] are a dead match.
I do believe that the Post chips were still being manufactured for C&J using their hat & cane mold vs. the Paulson mold.
C&J chips were also being manufactured by the Burt company... and into the early-mid 70s.
Little more history, etc... here:
