"The Meteor" A Television Prop Chip

I first uploaded this chip here many years ago, but since found more info.

77 Sunset Strip:

"The Bouncing Chip", S1 E5

Episode aired Nov 7, 1958

A Vegas casino falters, because their chips are being counterfeited. "The Meteor" hires Stu, who discovers the plastics company that's making the counterfeits,
then goes undercover as a cardsharp from Miami, to find out if the scheme's mastermind is relocated Chicago gangster Frenchy LaTour.
The menacing Frenchy is also suspected of fitting his former boss Big Ears Beecham with a concrete kimono.

This episode also shows us the manufacturing process behind a Casino Chip.

I have no clue as to what the "base chip" was for this prop. It's an elongated "V" on an scrown mold, but I have no clue as to original color.

I submitted this chip and info to the ChipGuide a while ago, but it has yet to be reviewed.

I only own two chips, and have never seen any others in nearly 20yrs.
