QUERY: H.R.C. CLOCK TOKEN INFORMATION SOUGHT

In the American Numismatic Society's Pocket Change blog, Matthew Wittman posed a new question for readers. Can anyone help solve this Mystery from the Vault? -Editor

HRC Clock Token 1952.110.51.obv_.2295 HRC Clock Token 1952.110.51.rev_.2295

This token is 26 mm in diameter and weighs 4.19 grams, with a die axis of 12. One side has a table top still-life scene wreathed by Roman clock numbers; the other is embossed with the initials H.R.C. and the number 99. It was purchased by the American Numismatic Society as part of a lot of 200 tokens purchased from Schindler’s Antique Shop of Charleston, South Carolina.

Can anyone help? I like the design; it's a neat item, but what could H.R.C. stand for? -Editor
