� various colors; my choice,
although you can request any color, and I'll try to provide
it.
� excellent condition.
� I obtained these inlay chips in
1991 from the company. In addition to advertising the company
(the largest gambling supply house in Europe; still going
strong today -- they just took over Paulson and Bud Jones), the
chips served as samples of the colors they could fill for chip orders. |

Caro & Fils
Sold out
|
� chip
color of my choice, in this style.
� fair condition
� these are Chipco-like chips with
a brass inlay. Adding to the unusual nature of the chips is
the very faint embossed greek-key rim mold design, which is
"printed over" with the red words.
� these chips were made by the Burt
Co. in 1987-88, just before Burt was renamed Chipco.
Caro was a customer of Burt. The chips say "Caro & Fils
Casino Supplies" and have their phone number on one side and their
telex number on the reverse.
� Caro is an old, famous gambling
supply company that traces its origins to 1789!.........
The company was called Gueret & Vallois in the 19th century.
It became Briotet in 1903. Always located in Paris, they were
the premier European sellers and manufacturers of gambling and
billiard furniture and equipment, mother or pearl chips and early plastic
gaming chips. After World War I the Briotet's adopted a war
orphan named Caro. Eventually he ran the company, and about 1925
changed its name to Caro. About 1990 an American group took over
Caro and moved it to St. Ouen, a Paris suburb. Today (2002) it
deals only in billiards and no longer uses the Caro name. |

� Another very unusual chip, another
experimental chip that did not take hold. Not in the
book. Here I scanned the 1/8th inch edge/end of the chip,
not the 1-9/16th inch side/face. This is a black clay chip with
a white plastic core (disk) running through the center. It is
like a ham sandwich -- black clay bread and white plastic ham. The
chip has the "double broken circle" mold and an advertising H.
C. Edwards inlay like in zbs, above. For more on this
mold, click

� just one chip left.
� mint
� great chip. Very rare and
unusual. Not in the book. These chips are 1-7/16th
inch diameter. When you see one, you will see that it is and
looks much smaller than the ordinary 1-9/16th inch casino
size chips! Apparently these were experimental chips
that never took hold. I know of no other chips this size
made by any gambling supply house.
� I also have these small chips blank in black, but
no inlay, which you could have for $20 each. That is, they are
the same as the yellow one pictured to the left -- same size, same H-mold,
but they are black and have no inlay; mint condition -- the inlay did
not fall out; it was made to be flat other than where the H-mold is.

Spaulding |
� red, black, gray
� I am not familiar with this company.
I see there was an A. G. Spalding (note the spelling difference)
1895 company listed on page 410 of the book. Research
in the internet doesn't show any gambling-related aspects of the
Spaulding Co. Rather it produced a new material
inheriting the insulating advantages of mica and glass. Today
it makes various composite materials and components. Dale Seymour
included these chips in the book's gambling supply advertising
chips section. Probably they should have been included in the
general advertising section. ... ... ....Valued at $15-$19
in the book, but it is not rare at all. |
