Manufacturer: Classic Poker Chips (CPC)
Designer: Myself (Fran)
Mold: HCE
Production Year: 2025
I've always been a fan of London. Also of Victorian era detective stories, so of course Sherlock Holmes theme is a must.
I used to be a pipe smoker and still have a large collection of artisan pipes and English style tobaccos (Latakia is my favourite).
So with this set, I kill three birds with one stone.
H-Mold, that was not in my mold short list at the beginning has gradually taken its place to become one of my favorite molds and I definitely wanted to use this mold for one of my sets. With the Holmes theme it was appropriate to use it now.
I also wanted to do a completely different set than my others custom. So I decided to try out the PIE spots for once. I'm not usually satisfied when I play with PIE spots, but after a few tests I was really happy with this lineup and the color combo too. No Dayglo Colors here, only a classic touch.
I wanted a nice and detailed black and white inlay design and I am quite proud of the result which, to me, matches perfectly the PIE spot and H-mold.
Of course I chose here to use UK currency.
Not so elementary after all, but here is my Holmes' Card Room cash set!
10p Orange 212 Maroon spot
50p Canary 1/2 PIE Light Chocolate spot
£1 Bright White 1/2 PIE2A12 Charcoal spot
