Unknown Coin

[DoubleUgly]

Hello everyone! This is my first post here.

My father was big into antiques and treasure hunting. When he passed, I inherited his "collection". I know this is a fairly modern coin, but I'd appreciate any help y'all can give in a positive ID.

The coin reads:
STREAMLINE TAP
GOOD LUCK (written in a banner across a logo that looks like a "C" topped with an "H")
HOTEL CHICAGOAN (the "C" and "H" logo? more than likely)
CHICAGO, ILL

and the reverse reads:
TIFFANY ROOM
100
LUCKY PIECE
No. 1294

Here's the photos with a penny to compare size.

Thanks!

Theres one onEbay doesnt say much but its says 25. http://cgi.ebay.com/Streamline-Tap-...89510392QQihZ021QQcategoryZ3454QQcmdZViewItem

Yep, not much there. Odd that it doesn't have an ID number stamped in it.

Found another one on ebay, a "100" coin like mine, but still was lax in the history. Couldn't find anything searching through Google. Most I could find was that the Hotel Chicagoan was torn down to make room for another building.

The Tiffany room was a cocktail lounge in the Hotel. A streamline tap is a type of faucet or "tap" if you will. Maybe a drink token or maybe a bathroom token? That's all I got.

Im thinking its good for a 25 cent drink or a $1.00 drink(s) at the Tiffany Room like Digg said.

The best I could come up with was possibly some sorta casino token. Dunno. I appreciate the help though!

Maybe it's just me, but it's funny that a worn matchbook cover with no striker is going for more than a numbered coin.

Just wish either seller had more info. I'm honestly surprised I didn't find anything with a google search for Hotel Chicagoan. Maybe it was a dive?

This one has got a serial number lower than yours.
