Selling an old set of Jockey chips which were made by Lowe back in the 40s and 50s. I believe they are Bakelite or some sort of clay composite.

I used these chips for my horseracing game , but have since made a custom set for it which forces me to move these along. Our horseracing stakes were .25, .50, .75, $1. I used the white as quarters, blues as dollars, and reds as fives and this set was plenty for our horseracing and numerous side bets with plenty to spare.

I have the chips in an old school carrying case which I will include if it's wanted, but it may not be worth the extra postage. My extras (red and white) are in a box. Up to the buyer regarding the case.

The breakdown is as follows:

354 white (295 in case, 59 in box)
167 blue
164 red (111 in case, 53 in box)

These are some really cool old school chips in quantity that work perfectly for the horseracing game theme.

Take it all for $175 + postage. With the case, I have no idea what it would cost. For just the chips, I could probably fit them all in a MFRB.

Couple of ?’s:

Is the “horse” on both sides?
How do they compare weight wise?
How do they sound?

Interested.
The horse is on both sides. The are a bit lighter as they are old from the 40s. I can weigh them tomorrow for you, but they are lighter. As for sound, they sound a bit higher in pitch due to the material and lighter weight. But they still sound and feel like chips and play the same.

They are between 4 and 4.5oz per chip. Made the horseracing set a lot lighter to carry around. I really noticed the difference when I went to a custom set and the horseracing bag got a bit heavier.

Now $130 + shipping...

This is getting down there and is already a lot less than I put this set together for. Quick and easy all-in-one set to keep with your horse racing game!
