My friend is a member of the South Norwalk Boat Club in Norwalk, Connecticut.
There is always a tradition of buying fellow members a drink. The old token was a non-descript chip that could be used for beer, wine, or mixed drink - it just depended what the person you were buying for was drinking. If you did not want the drink, you pocketed the chip for another day.
The Club decided to re-vamp the process with new chips. The new chips have denominations on them.
Both sides of the chips are shown. The top one is the prototype. (I only have one of those.) If you want any of these chips, let me know.
