It looks like a saloon token, maybe like these

but I don't know why it would have a "3"
 
i'm thinking it's a pickers token for some kind of produce.
can't find anything on those initials though.
many from MD. used initials only.

This may be a stretch but it may have something to do with the Civilian Conservation Corps from the 1930s.
W for work the T ? don't know and the C for camp number #3. Like I said maybe a stretch here but I have seen
them some where before but can't remember where.

The hand stamping on a generic token tells me it is most likely a one of a kind in a series, like 1-25. If lost another one could be made. My best guess is a claim or hat check token from the first half of the 1900's Kelley. You could check old city records for restaurants, dance clubs and the like for what W.T.C. might stand for, but I would not lose any sleep over it.....:laugh: That could have came from anywhere in the world, but not likely.

I have two three gallon jars full of items like that, (Whatzit's) and I will let my kids go through them when I am gone and let them try to figure out why Dad would save stuff like this, what the heck is all of this stuff anyway. :crazy:
