COMIC POKER CHIPS, 1967 -- WARNING -- THESE ARE EXTREMELY VULGAR  -- ALSO CLEVER AND HUMEROUS

The "Comic Poker Chips" were made by Federal Premium Mfg Co, Chicago ILL 60645, copyright 1967. The box calls them "hilarious." These chips were sold in boxes (4" x 3" x 1.5") of 100 chips (50 white, 25 red, 25 blue), but the chips were thrown in in a random manner so most boxes of 100 chips did NOT have all 20 different chip designs.  However, rest assured, the boxes of chips I sell have at least one chip of each of the 20 different chip designs.  Each chip is plastic and  1-3/8" diameter.

There are 20 different chips
:
15 chips are in the third picture below with the green background.  All 15 chips have on one side the image of Confucius and the words "Confucius Say." The reverse sides have the 15 different jokes or puns.  There is a small number, 1 to 15, on the bottom of each chip next to the 1967 copyright date.  (The picture might be difficult for some to download; if you are having trouble,  click here to download a smaller picture with less bytes.)
¶ the other 5 chips
are seen in the picture below with the yellow background.  Both sides of each chip are shown side by side, possibly in different color chips. 

I could sell a complete set of the 20 different Comic chips for $45.00 delivered! I could also sell about 50 Comic chips (including a complete set of the 20 different chips) in the original box  (in OK used condition) for $80 delivered.
