I'm still interested when this subject comes up from time to time. When did Paulson start making these and what the older mold or other Mfg. looked like.

The more I look at the Paulson chips, and this is a personal observation, from a limited collection, all of the Paulson chips, ROULETTE mold have the cross hatching lines aligned between the L and E straight across the face of the chip. That doesn't mean the hot stamp is aligned at all, just that the crosshatching is done at the same time as the "Roulette" is pressed into the chip.
