Travis,
the chip was made by the U.S. Playing Card Co., Cincinatti OH, in 1913 for the "New York Office" of USPC. Don't know whom it went to. Many reorders were made. Looks like made in seven different colors: rust, blue, yellow, brown, orange, lavender ("500" on the reverse), and light blue ("100" on the reverse). I own only the latter two. Would like/pay for more.
Best wishes,
