Description from the seller
Set of vintage bakelite poker chips, contained in a brown leather case. Probably from the 1940s.
The chips, round, rectangular and square, of different sizes and various colors (red, blue, dark purple, light and dark green, cream), are arranged inside compartments lined with green.
Six larger oval tokens made of brass or gold-colored metal, probably intended to function as 'dealer' or 'blind', with the word '500' on one side and a reproduction of the Milan Cathedral on the other. One of the red chips bears the initials CM in gold.
Box size: 20 x 13 x 4 cm.
Fiche sizes: 3.2 cm in diameter for the round ones, 4 x 2 cm for the rectangular ones, 3 x 3 cm for the square ones, 5 x 3 cm for the oval ones, made of metal.
Conditions: the chips are in good condition (a few minor signs of wear); the box is decent, though the interior is worn in some parts; there are a few scratches on the exterior; several signs of wear and chipping on the base, and it is missing the closing clasp.
