The former has three rectangular open "windows" on the top showing the red, white, and blue poker chips stored in the box.

Around the numbers "72" on the sides are a series of seven gold lines. On the lid ends are the words "72 / POKER / CHIPS / UNBREAKABLE / NOISELESS," except that one one side the word "Assorted" is between "72" and "POKER" in script. On this same side, a piece of Christmas wrapping paper is adhered. On one side panel is "MADE IN THE U.S.A." and the patent number.
