In 1947 the Burt Company
purchased United States Playing Card's chip manufacturing equipment.
This purchase eliminated USPC as a competitor and established
the Burt Company as America's leading chip maker. The late 1940's
saw a shift to a higher quality printed center chip and the first
use of colored edge spots. Made with custom design molds, these
chips offered more security than a plain mold seal & crest
chip. Roulette chips were still being made on plain molds. The
yellow Flamingo #2 is an example of a roulette chip from the early
1950's.
