Manufacturer: Novelcraft
This is a unique item was apparently made for travel, in which the "rack" becomes four racks with an ash tray as part of each rack.
The set contains 100 chips which could be correctly distributed in each tray. I have chosen to stack them by color when photographing them.
We have the original box which is a little the worse for wear, but I'm sure it can be repaired by an expert.
The racks are 4 1/2" in diameter & each tray is 1/2" tall.

The four trays stacked together are about 2 3/8" tall. The clay poker chips are in excellent condition, light weight, & measure about 1 1/16 in diameter, or just slightly larger than a U.S. quarter.
When we purchased it at an estate sale, the bracket that holds the rack together was placed wrong so one ash tray has a crack about 1 1/4" long; however it is in otherwise very good condition (The crack is visible in Picture #5).
The metal bracket has some age pitting which we did not try to "clean up" as it is better to leave that to the buyer's taste.
The top of the original box gives instructions on how to correctly use the set when removing the bracket & replacing it. Two sides of the box show an illustration of the rack & chips. It states: " CHIP rack" & "Ash TRAY"; "Manufactured by: Novel-Craft Mfg. Co., New York, N.Y. U.S.A." There is other printing also.
All in all, the set is in good condition for it's age & is still usable or would make an excellent addition to a poker chip or gambling memorabilia collection. |
