I'm trying to ID...no luck so far.

Almost similar to these Jaqk cards.

I'll be sure to keep an eye out, The Jaqks ones Jintosh posted are pretty Close, Those don't have the white text like the Jaqks ones do.

On those Measure cards, it's clearly the same artwork, yet.... There are strange differences. The most obvious is the orientation of the hearts on the ace. But closer examination shows some spacing differences of picture elements. I know that they are 99% accurate, and it's a little nitpicky....I'm just curious about it. Does anyone know the background of this card art? Is it something that's been in the public domain and reprinted by many different companies with slight variations? Is it indeed the same art, or one of those things that has been redrawn countless times with small intentional and unintentional differences?

.....

So, the screen shot versus my cards ?

The heart on the ace is correct. I simply dealt the card upside down.

Yes....I just realized that and was going to correct myself. Feel dopey.

 

[Jintosh]

No problem. My shot is at an odd perspective which may also throw off , the appearance of spacing.

Did your Kent cards come in a plastic/bakelite box and do you know what year they are? If so, was it a flat wide box or one of the taller boxes?

 

[Jintosh]

...

Still can't find these cards. I found a bicycle image with a circle in the middle and I added the white diamond shape.
This set may be a fabricated set as well.

According to the ebay post when I bought them they are from 1950, and yes they did come with a bakelite box see image bellow, The Box holds 2 decks of cards and has dividers on the inside to keep the decks separate. Also the Lid says KEM on it.

Finally found them! Cheap cards made in China from the 1970's. Tiger 565.

 

[Jintosh]

You're right ! The Tiger 565 cards are correct for the "Time's Arrow" episode. I just bought a pack of vintage cards off of eBay for $10.

For the poker chips, what was the chip count and denomination?

For the poker chips, what was the chip count and denomination?

Since Starfleet in-theory does not use MONEY, it should nevertheless follow the OLYMPICS style value bronze-silver-gold ranking. And the first chip would have a traditional value of 1 the second chip 5 of the first chip, and the third chip 10 of the first chip.

Bronze - 1
Silver - 5
Gold - 10

 

[Jintosh]

The pot contains mostly bronze and silver chips, indicating that these are the lower value and therefore most likely to be bet so casually.

(and if those are copper and not bronze, nothing is changed but the name)

That makes a lot of sense
