Old poker chip Question?

I noticed a few old chips in the back section of Dale Seymour's book of antique poker chips and question whether some of the pictured chips ever really existed. I have a photo of a page from a Suydam catalog from 1880. there is a crown, elephant, horseshoe, anchor, cap and owl. I have these designs in this style, only mine have flopped artwork. Dale listed the anchor with the rope running to the right. The chip I have has the rope running to the left. I content that none of the chips in the old catalog ever really existed, only the reverse artwork versions were ever made. Has any collector of old chips ever noticed that?

That's all I see; representation of design/subject
