This appears to be a rectangle mold poker chip made by a Toledo gun store advertising their business. The logo is that of Colt's Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company which became Colt's Manufacturing Company after a merger in 1955. The last mention of Toledo Gun Co. that I can find is 1959. I suspect this is a 50's or 60's chip. The marking on both sides appears to be silk screen and not a hot stamp.
The Colt company dates back to the 1800's and was started by Sam Colt. Their guns are still manufactured and sold.
If you want to add to your advertising chip collection, it's yours for $15. I have only one.
