for sale Whisky adv poker chips (2) you don't have

for sale $8 plus $2 postage for two chips ($10 total delivered). I paid $90 for these neat chips, and I'd like to recover part of it. They seemed interesting, so I bought the whole box. Interesting is:


¶ these are advertising poker chips. As the box (pictured below) indicates, it was a complimentary gift.
¶ they are embossed(stand out in relief) on one side: "Watsons No. 10 Whisky" (Watsons was a vintage distiller in Dundee, Scotland, known for blended high quality whiskies.)
¶ the reverse side is branded C.T.A 5/ on the reds and C.T.A. 2/- on the blues . (I guess 5 and 2 shillings -- 20 shillings to a pound; correct me if I am wrong). (The initials stand for Commercial Travelers Association which had its local HQ,s in Charles, St Launceston in Tasmania, Australia, up until the late 1960's. )
¶ the chips are made of a sturdy composition plastic, unbreakable and fairly thick -- 1-1/4" diameter.
