Whit Norris Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I seem to remember several years back that the prop master had rubber poker chips. The prop master I am currently working with says all the prop houses and suppliers do not have any and have not heard of rubber poker chips. Has anyone else ever ran across these on a set? Thanks, Whit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJBerto Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Tupperware made rubber poker chips in the 50s (?) Probably rare or hard to find on the shelf, but regularly come up on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPSharman Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Hmmm... Rubber pool balls, but not poker chips. I try to just coordinate action around the words as best as possible. The sound of the chips is great, as long as the can not "double-click" in the edit. Perhaps see who mixed/propped "Rounders" or some more recent poker movie. Steve Morantz mixed "Runner Runner". Was that a poker movie? I'd bet they don't fall the same way or slide the same way or look right on camera. Ok for background, I guess.

rcoronado Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 you could also potentially use rubber washers or spacers and paint them as appropriate. https://www.google.com/search?q=rubber+spacers&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=sb#channel=sb&q=rubber+spacers&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&tbm=shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnpaul215 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I remember finding some at my Grandmother's house that were kind of pressed paper, like hardcover book paper with an outer wrap. If I remember right the box called them silent or something. Probably 1950s or 1960s vintage. They didn't look like hard plastic casino poker chips, but if it's not a casino, they were a real product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McL Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'll have you know it took four or five search strings to come up with that bounty of results, Messrs Wielage and Lightstone. Furthermore, I was NOT drunk Googling. And since we're on the subject, have often been frustrated not having found the perfect search terms. Of instant interest, this for "retainable studs": https://www.google.com/search?q=retainable+studs&espv=210&es_sm=91&source=lnms&sa=X&ei=qWQUU5KHCIqtkAf8_oDoDQ&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAA&biw=1276&bih=584&dpr=1 Those words and only those got me to the quick release racing fasteners that will allow me to switch out upper shelf units with a quarter turn: XOXOX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudRaymond Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Jan, if you're using Zeus fasteners you need an official snoopy tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
