It is not clear if the colorized fish was done at the club, or the hand written city and state, I found an example on line, that the city and state were stamped like the later years.https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/cRsAAOSwWNNdrMfh/s-l1600.jpgFishbowl Wooden Nickel Coin Club Celebrates 50 Years
In 2016, the Fishbowl Wooden Nickel Coin Club celebrates 50 years of existence. The club consists of enthusiastic coin collectors in northwestern Wisconsin and Minnesota and boasts quite a history. In 1966, a group from northwest WI formed the Arrowhead Coin Club and began having meetings in Spooner. At the same time, the Amery Coin Club was meeting in Amery, WI. The two clubs held joint coin shows in Spooner and Amery and issued commemorative wooden nickels over a six show period. After 1970, there is no record of the Amery CC but the Arrowhead Club continued to meet, conduct shows, and issue wooden nickels through 1973.
