Can someone give me an idea of how old this poker set is? Are the chips clay chips? Value. Thank you.

If the chips are clay type,,probably 1910 or earlier !!

You don`t have to find one exactly like it,, just similar case and era !! The case on yours does not look old enough for clay chips !! So may be a put-together set !!

If yours are Bakelite they are worth more than modern plastic.

Here is a great article to help the wheels turn on this.

The hinges on the box look pretty modern to me. Are those Phillips head screws?

I don`t think the case is that old either !!

I was thinking 70's ish. The chips must be a composite of some sort.
