They just don't make chips for the public like they used to...

I say it because the original poster spoke of wanting clay chips like he used to see back in the day, but is "stuck with" pokerchips.com chips. Those "back in the day" chips havent been used in 75 years, and while pokerchips.com chips are going to be about as close as you get to them, they are not clay chips.

He isnt going to find a place to get custom chips from that offers what he wants in a true clay chip, because they dont last very long and no one makes them. he will have to stick with a place that sells composite chips and offers those customizations.

I don't think anyone around here even knows about the chips that far back. Clay chips now, are just used as a term to describe the generic non-chipco, non-plastic chip. Clay chips are still made today, in a sense - Pokerchips.com (ASM), nevada jacks, Paulson, BG, and Blue Chip all make these.
