I'm working on a cash set of old Flamingo chips to be put on cards molds.
I've got the 5, 25, 100 from about the same time, but cant figure out the $1...Chipguide is a bit confusing with their dates.
Which $1 is right for the set?

You are already seem to be mixing and matching anyways. The 1967 versions are all 3U, $5, $25 and $100, with $ signs. Why not pick the best mix?

In?
 
I'm going to say that neither one of those $1s would be the right version to match the ones that you would like to recreate. I don't believe there was a $1 made in the late 40s/early 50s. Nothing until the 60s, unless I'm missing it. That or it just isn't listed on ChipGuide so it's a little hard to tell what the chip looks like.

I'd go ahead and recreate the inlay with a $1 denomination and let your mind go wild. If there is a $1 it's most likely really expensive like the $100 you have pictured. Not 100% sure, but that's what I'd like to think.
