Vintage Poker set
« on: January 04, 2015, 05:14:42 pm »
Can someone give me an idea of how old this poker set is?  Are the chips clay chips?  Value.  Thank you.

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