Hello all! I am hunting for particular vintage chips, in the colors cream/off white and red. Pictured below. I believe they were made in the early 1900s. They appear on eBay from time to time, but rarely in quantities that are usable.

Does anyone have any of these lying around they’d be willing to sell? I’d be extremely grateful.

These are "Paranoid" chips. Most commonly from the early 1900's through the 50s and later. It is hard to assemble sets, but not shockingly expensive.

There are a number of symbols from paranoid chips that have taken on new, politically fraught, meaning. But at the time the chips were made, such meanings didn't apply. If you are looking for paranoid chips, you eventually will run across a few such chips.

I will look through my misc. bucket of chips to see if I have a few. More than once I bought an auction to get chips I wanted and got other stuff that didn't fit my plans.

I collect " Double Star" chips.
