Studebakers and Sex

So, i was going through some boxes in storage yesterday and found these coins I had forgotten I had. I don't remember exactly how I got them, but I feel like I may have found them in one of the DSM's I owned many many years ago.

 

Obviously the one coin is a vintage novelty coin though I am not sure when it dates back to.

 

The other, is some kind of good luck coin. My understanding is that they date back to about 1907-1937, before the Nazi's (the real Nazi's) commandeered the swastika.

 

What I am more intrigued about is the car dealership referenced on the one side of the coin. Does anyone know anything about this dealership?

I think I might still have a few left over from show world from when I worked in times square in the 90's. probably with my old subway tokens.

 

BTW, I am not saying that one traveled all the way from NY or was even a peep show token. Many of the larger clubs had their own tokens, but the smaller booths in adult book stores usually used a generic token like the one you have. Pretty sure Columbus still has peep show booths tucked away in some corner of this city.
