It looks like William A. Williges was a collector of California tokens. Here is another with his name on it, apparently handed out as a "collector token" to remind others what he collected.

I believe the club is now called Western States Token Society and is still active in Northern California.

From an announcement on the web:

The 2010 Western States Token Society Annual Jamboree will tentatively be held March 12,13,14 2010 at the Red Lion Hotel in Sacramento, California.
