The Piece
A charming boxed set of Pleasantime Deluxe Poker Chips, produced in 1963 by Pacific Game Co., Inc. of North Hollywood, California. The set includes 100 plastic poker chips in classic red, white, and blue, housed in its original green-and-gold cardboard box with wonderfully graphic mid-century packaging.
The box features bold yellow typography, decorative gold borderwork, and printed chip illustrations across the lid. Its visible wear, softened corners, and surface scuffing give it the kind of honest age that makes vintage game pieces feel collected rather than staged by a soulless algorithm in a beige room.
Design & Construction
This set reflects the casual home-entertainment culture of the early 1960s, when poker chips, card tables, bridge sets, ashtrays, and bar carts all lived in the same domestic universe. The chips are molded plastic with a ribbed edge detail and were advertised as square edge, high stacking, interlocking, unbreakable plastic.
The original box is the real charm here. The deep green ground, gold border, and bold lettering give it a great visual presence for styling. It would work beautifully on a bookshelf, in a game room, on a bar cart, or layered into a vintage coffee-table vignette.
Condition
Vintage condition with age-related wear throughout. The cardboard box shows rubbing, corner wear, edge loss, creasing, and surface scuffs consistent with use and age. The chips appear clean overall with visible signs of handling and storage. Exact chip count should be verified before listing as complete, though the box is marked for 100 plastic poker chips.
Why This Belongs in Your Home
This is a small but highly decorative piece of mid-century Americana: playful, graphic, and easy to style. It brings instant vintage character to a bar cart, game shelf, den, cabin, or collected interior without requiring someone to rearrange their entire personality around it. A great little object for anyone who loves retro game nights, old packaging, or the golden age of home leisure.
