Apparently you didn't check the 'Token Catalog' listing very recently. What it now says is:

"From Leo Warren San Antonio collection. The “Silver Slipper Supper” club is mentioned in the June 20, 1926 San Antonio Express and Dec 31, 1929 San Antonio Light. Shows soldier residue on Whitehead Hoag (maker) side, so was probably a membership pin."

That is awesome, thank you so much.

The Silver Slipper supper club, was reputed gambling joint in Prairie View, just west of Orange in an area that is now Bridge City. The club's main room, with its mirrored walls and crisp table linens, was a place for fine dining. But, its back room was where local gamblers placed their bets.
