Oceanic Leisure Set (1 Viewer)

I was able to get a hold of an old set from the boat SS Oceanic. She sailed from the early 60’s up to the turn of the century under different names.

Not sure when the chips were made or when they were in play. My guy must have found them, somewhere on the boat later when he was running the poker room.

These chips are on the Jockey mold. The 5's have the 212 edge spots w/ the $25's 312. They are well played for sure but are not bike tires. The stamps are well worn but the chips are not that beat up.

I’m so stoked to have been able to acquire these chips. The guy worked in different boats poker rooms for over 17 years. This set is very playable.

Around 800 chips just in the 5’s and 25’s. Didn’t come with any $1’s on the jockey mold.

Also got a small set of beautiful H mold chips. Same ship as the other chips. Stamps are in great shape.

The $5’s just so happen to have my initials on them!

Lot also came with a small CIC set and some MINT jockey molds with cherries and London pounds(I think).

I can get rid of some singles of these too. Just hit me up if interested. Maybe not the cic’s but the minty cherry chips

Super Cool!

I think that the cherry chips are from Cherry Casino’s.

Boy these chips were dry! Glad my kids were around to knock out a few hundred.

How are you cleaning these chips first or do you just oil not clean?

 

[Mushmanchuman]

Didn’t need cleaning. None had hooker juice or any dirt really. Just dusty.

I thought about mixing mineral oil w/ water and salad spinner to do them quicker but then I decided that hand cramps were a better idea and did them straight oil and hand pressure.

 

[chippitydoodah]

So did you just lock in the dust with the oil or wipe them down with a damp cloth first?

 

[Mushmanchuman]

I guess locked the dust in forever…

 

[Mushmanchuman]

You can see from the first pics that the “dust” was maybe more of just dryness to the chip.

There wasn’t anything that I saw that needed to be blown off or anything. Maybe dust was the wrong wording.

Yeah these needed some Dawn and magic eraser action. Didn’t think they needed cleaning until I saw the edge spots after the magic. They really pop now.

@chippitydoodah thanks for holding me accountable. These needed cleaning. I guess I like to do things the long way

I was just wondering how much effort needs to go into restoring them and if it's worth it. Why kill yourself soaking & scrubbing if the end result isn't any different than just oiling them.

 

[Mushmanchuman]

Precisely what I thought. As they started to try the edge spots showed some dirt. After the first few got cleaned I knew I was going to be doing som scrubbing.

Even my wife was like “ why didn’t you do that in the first place.” Lol
