-- about the origins of this item from an ended Ebay auction?

Thanks,

They turn up from time to time.

As far as we know, it has NOTHING to do with Smith & Wesson.
Probably just a store token.

Ahh come one Lee, you know it's a drink token for a brothel in MA.

At one time there was a grocery store chain named S&W, probably theirs. I don't know what this S&W represented.

There is also a S&W brand of canned vegetables. The canned goods are still an active brand. In this case the S&W stood for Sussman & Wormser, founders of the company.

Like Lee said, absolutely nothing to do with Smith & Wesson.
