EMBOSSED RIM MOLD DESIGN PROJECT
mostly antique
molds
(Anytime a chip is described or identified, one of the
half dozen or so parameters given is the chip's particular rim mold
design. Thus, the rim mold design is an important part of the name
of a chip. As explained below, it is also, at times, a clue to a
chip's age and geographical use.... .... ... Some mold designs are
inlaid, a relatively recent occurrance. Today more and
more inlaid rim mold design chips are appearing, often as poker
(non-casino) chips. These current inlaid mold chips are
made of a nylon-plastic material and are often embossed some as well.
The 10 pages of this project are mostly concerned with the old
embossed clay chips and ignores the modern inlaid molds.)

***** IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A QUICK
TOUR OF THE 10 PAGES OF THIS MOLD DESIGN PROJECT,
CLICK
THIS LINK AND THEN CLICK THE "CONTINUE....."
LINK AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH PAGE. (In fact, if you scroll down
to the bottom of any of the 10 mold design pages and click the "Continue....."
link and do so at every page, you will quickly see all 10 mold design
pages.) *****
*** THIS IS A WORK-IN-PROGRESS; CORRECTIONS, ADDITIONS,
COMMENTS ARE APPRECIATED ***
distributor advertising chips --
they show distributor name and their proprietary rim mold
Note: when researching a chip with an embossed
rim mold design, examine (click) the uppermost applicable category
from the list below. In another words, starting with category #1 (DICE.....),
read each category title and stop when you reach one that includes
something in the rim mold design of your chip. For example,
if the embossed rim mold has both dice and words, click the "dice"
link (#1), not the "letters or words" link (#2). Another example:
if you have an Elephant Head and Crown mold chip, click link #6 (PLANTS/ANIMALS,
for the elephant head), not #7 (MANMADE OBJECTS, for the crown)...........You
can also locate a particular mold design directly (if you know its
name) by going to the A to Z list and links below............For general
information about rim mold designs, the methodology and sources I used
for this project, the scope of this project (which entails mainly
embossed [recessed/incused] rim molds, not the flat inlaid and printed
rim molds) and references for additional information on the subject,

ALPHABETICAL LIST
OF MOLD DESIGNS WITH LINKS TO THE PARTICULAR MOLD DESCRIPTION
**** click any of the links in
the list below ****
(Note: (1) to make this list user-friendly
for the novice, I have listed certain molds two ways below.
For examples, I listed the "Hat & Cane" mold also as "Cane &
Hat," and I listed the "Rectangles and Hearts" mold also as "Hearts
and Rectangles;" and (2) beware that what looks to me (and most
people) as rectangles have been sometimes customarily called "squares."
I have followed suit here. For example, the mold of the Jones
Bros. Co. is called "Large Squares" even though the squares look like
rectangles. I, too, list the mold here as "Large Squares.")
