I've been on here about 6 weeks now, and am thoroughly addicted. I've interacted with some great people, and bought and sold some chips now that I have emerged from the 'chip-loner' status I had.
I've learned a LOT in 6 weeks about molds, histories, group buys, etc. Thanks to all of you who have helped.
So, Dice chips seem to be the bottom of the barrel reputation wise here. Before Dice chips, I'm sure it was the plastic interlocking chips I had as a kid in the 70s.
Reading history on a few sites, and coming from the 'other' end of history, There were bakelite and catalin chips in the teens/20s/30s that were the 'cheapies' and then the 'noiseless' pressed cardboard chips, compared to the bone and ivory and mother of pearl 'fancypants' chips.....the Paulsons of the past if you will.
So, when did the plain glazed clay chips come in, and when did they go out? I bought this set on eBay, partly because I may give it to a guy named ROD that I know, and partly because I have a Buffalo connection.

I paid like 23 bucks plus shipping.....no big deal...... but I don't really see much about the time frame these bottom feeders were popular. I'd welcome any info or pointers, as I think I have scoured the web pretty well.
The ones that show 'pinkish' in the picture look like they have lost their glaze. I'm trying to figure out if that would happen from use, or some other reason. I've also visited pottery sites.....topic isn't really addressed........There seems to be a lot on molds for the higher end chips, but how were THESE made? and with a hot-stamp??
I appreciate anyone answering any of the questions posed here.
Thank you!
