Antique advertising chips

Another treasure from the convention was this set of plastic whiskey advertising tokens. From the peach and honey reference, I believe these may go back a hundred years or so. Scan shows the image on both sides, cunningham whiskey on one side, peach and honey on the other. Same size as a standard casino chip... 39 mm diameter.

From Googling, I learned peach and honey in addition to being a popular liquer around 1900 was used to flavor pipe tobacco.
