Byrrh

18 x 30mm (reverse same)

I got this and some similar tokens (same text, different shapes, sizes and colors) in 2011 on a trade from Europe. I was able to find a little information about them, but would love to know more!
According to Wikipedia, Byrrh is a lend of red wine and quinine or tonic water created in 1886 and still made today.
Post at World of Coins, these are probably counters or jetons for gambling. Scan on page shows three shapes (round, large rectangle, small rectangle) and five colors (red, yellow, tan, black, green)
This page show many different similar counters (in French) and also has the following information (Google translation):
A childhood memory! These chips of wood were used advertising to my grandparents for keeping score in the card game!
In fact, they are advertising for gaming chips from counter in licensed premises. Advertising is generally devoted to drinking, especially the appetizers. In the 1950s, there were a few chips in bakelite. Then, from the 1960s, the chips of wood chips were replaced by plastic.

These tokens were offered by merchants or producers of alcohol in cardboard boxes or wood. It was used on countertops, in boxes of wooden counter that could contain both the chips and card game. Card games could also be inserted into wooden boxes dedicated.
