I am a new and joined to learn about the chips that I purchased around 20 years ago. I have been reading many of the threads and have learned about the chips that I purchased. They are Paulson Top Hats with the starburst. They don't have any markings or the markings on the edge. I had purchased them for use in Charity Vegas nights. I have approximately 4,000 Peach colored and approximately 1,000 light blue. I have been searching for Top Hats on google and stumbled onto this site. It's the most informative site I have ever stumbled on. I am looking forward to exploring about any information on my chips and everything on Poker. Glad to be aboard and good luck to everyone.

Welcome to PCF. We just call them Starbursts. That stamp was also used to cance l some casino chips. Just search starburst and should find plenty of info.

Thanks for the heads up. I have been searching through google using "Paulson Top Hat". That's why it took me so long to find anything on them except what was on eBay.

Was your flash on? Those don’t look peach; they look like some form of orange.

And if they are orange and react to a black light, you will be coming into a nice windfall very soon!

For example:

And if they do react, I just need 200-500 of them

Oh man, those look almost like blaze orange.
If so, expect your inbox to explode.

I always thought they were orange, but I am somewhat color blind. My wife said they were peach, so I went with it. Figures.

Hello and welcome to PCF! I believe @doublebooyah85 is from your neck of the woods.

They probably are because I am terrible at determining the actual color, green and brown, orange and red, etc. I always thought they were Orange but the boss, my wife, said they were Peach.

If I had to guess, I'd say those were Sky Blue and Orange (regular). But it is a mistake to try and identify without a colour sample set in hand.

Welcome to PCF ! That’s a lot of Starbursts !

 

[doublebooyah85]

Welcome @bigstore! I live in Canton. PM sent. Pretty sure I know you!

 

[indemans]

Welcome!

 

[sup_squidy]

Welcome!

 

[doublebooyah85]

I went and visited @bigstore to help him identify his chips.

They are orange (not blaze), leaded and in excellent condition!

 

[demonnic]

oh that's nice. I haven't met an orange chip I didn't like yet.

 

[doublebooyah85]

If anyone is thinking about an affordable leaded limit set, give @bigstore (Bill) a PM, and I’ll help him out fyi!

 

[Phoe9x]

Wow great purchase 20 years ago, and nice job helping out new people to the forum

 

[lane_robert_s]

Welcome

 

[allforcharity]

Here's my suggestion on how to split this up in a "set" format (based on 1000 blue and 4000 orange)

2 limit sets, each with
1200 orange
100 blue (as value chip)

4 starter cash sets, each with
200 blue ($1)
400 orange ($5)
and each can be enhanced with a contrasting colour for a 25c frac, and a green or purple rack for a $25, not impossible to find
