ID Please - HW, with interesting provenance

In the mid-90's, I bought a large lot of TR King chips (several 1000 chips, all in original TR King boxes) from an auction held by the British Columbia Lottery Corp. I sold the bulk of these quite quickly through a post in the 'Antique Trader' keeping a few boxes from the lot for myself.

I had been told these were removed from an illegal gaming operation, at the time of the auction. I then later learned that the lot was actually a quantity of the 'Playfair Club' chips, TR King mold, with a maple leaf.

There were 3 of the photo'd chips mixed in the lot, bearing a faint 'HW' hotstamp. The chips are the same both sides, no value.

Any ideas what these would be?
