Says “S.W. Co.” is made of copper and is a tiny bit bigger than a quarter. Back side is smooth. Is this a trade token?

It could be. While a search for “S.W. Co.” came up zilch, I saw one with HBC (Hudson Bay Co.) that looked similar.
 
Here’s a pic of them.

The more I look into it the more options I come up with. Looks like tokens were used for everything once upon a time. Paychecks, hotels, bars, arcades, every store possible. Tool check out like you guys said. I’ll have to see if there’s a business or shop with those initials from the area. There used to be a house that was built in 1935 at the site so that gives me some direction to go with my research. Thanks for the input guys.
