    These are my dad's poker chips, all red, and all with sailing ship imprint. Have had them around 40 years.
    The stacked ones have some damage, and the few in front were ones I saw that have errors, from the molding process I assume.
    I assume my dad got these chips in the 40's or 50's. I remember them from my 50's childhood.
    Looking for information--name of company that made them and approximate manufacturing dates.

    Thanks.

      Thanks for writing. I did find one listing that indicated they were designed by the U.S. Playing Card Co. in the early 1900's. Now to contact the card company to see what they may be able to tell me.
