This “Buy it Now” offering is for three vintage clay-composite poker chips embossed with a star and crescent moon design in three colors: red, white and blue. This is a gorgeously detailed design that is deeply embossed with a floral border and basket weave background.

 

This chip design is known to collectors as Star & Crescent (PD-KD) and it is rated an “e” on the rarity scale. It is a great example of clay composite poker chips that predate modern plastics. Poker chip manufacturers created hundreds of designs through the early 1900s for gambling houses to prevent players from bringing in their own identical chips rather than “buying in.” The diverse and graphic designs make them popular with collectors today.

 

These chips display beautifully and would make a great addition to any poker chip or game collection or as a gift for the poker enthusiast.

 

These chips are offered at a low “Buy it Now” price and combined shipping discounts are offered with shipping fees waived or reduced (refunded at purchase) for additional poker chip purchases after initial purchase with buyer paid shipping, so see my listings for more! All poker chips are carefully shipped in rigid packaging with tracking and insurance.

 

Condition: These chips are in exceptional condition and although they are susceptible to dings from use, I only see the slightest of wear in this grouping. Group photos show both sides of the chips for your assessment of condition. You receive the actual items in the photos.

 

These are standard size 1.5-inch diameter chips.
