COMIC POKER CHIPS -- WARNING -- THESE ARE EXTREMELY VULGAR -- ALSO CLEVER AND HUMEROUS
|
These come in a 4" x 3" x1.5" box (see first picture) of 100 chips -- 25 red, 25 blue and 50 white, thin 1-3/8" plastic chips. There are 15 numbered jokes -- puns mostly.... ..... I thank Mike Par for furnishing the "No. 7" chip, which I was missing. So now my collection is complete.... ....As far as I know, there are 20 different chip designs: (a) 15 chips are numbered 1 through 15 [see the small numbers at the lower left, next to the small 1967 copyright date]; the puns are on one side, and "Confucius Say" is on the reverse side. The following five chips are NOT numbered; (b) one chip has a donkey head on one side and the donkey pieces on the reverse; the two sides are pictured below; (c) another chip (pictured below) says "Sex is bad for one! But velly velly good for two!" on one side; the reverse side is the standard "Confucius Say;" (d) the 18th chip is pictured below; both sides are shown; it is about sex being bad for one but not for two.; and (e) -- a recent discovery of mine; both sides of the chips are shown in the last two pictures below..... . The Comic Poker Chips were made by Federal Premim Mfg Co, Chicago ILL 60645, copyright 1967. The box says they are "hilarious." ... .... ...... ........ I just picked up a second box of these rare chips that I would sell for $99 postpaid-insured. Very fine condition. Original box. 99 chips inside. They contain most of the 20 different designs, including the super-rare two in the bottom picture. (Note: none of these sets came with the 20 different designs -- the chips were always packaged in a random manner.) |
