    I'm stumped! I searched the web and came up empty. Maybe someone else will have better luck.

    BTW, the correct term for company-issued paper exchangeable for merchandise is "scrip", without a "T".

    I have nothing to add regarding the OP.

    This note was used as scrip in the ARAMCO facilities in Saudi Arabia during the 1940-50s.

    Very interesting items, I wonder if the shell ones were handed out at petrol stations when you filled up or something?
