I don't know much about Crest and Seal chips and I'm unsure if that one in the listing could possibly be a sample that was in the office of the company that manufactured the chip or not. They use to have them drilled in two spots and tied to the board in some way. I know TR King use to have them glued to some sort of foam board and other companies did differently.
As for the chip I don't know much about the Missouri Athletic Club, but I did a quick Google search and was able to find this from their website: https://www.mac-stl.org/History along with this via wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missouri_Athletic_Club
Looks like they are still using the same logo and is still in the location that it's always been. A private city and athletic club with two locations. The Downtown Clubhouse is in Downtown St. Louis, Missouri, USA and the West Clubhouse is located in the St. Louis County suburb of Town and Country. The chips were probably used for fun little games that they had or something along those lines. I doubt that they were ever used to bet actual money, but you never know.
