Coin and Paper Money Collecting/token

Question
I have a, I believe, brass token 1-5/16" round, one side has Dutch windmill fan shaped with ladders in each of the four blades. An eliptical square with stars in side, with each point of the square touching on the edges of a circle.
The other side has N.Y.S.S. ANNUAL DINNER FEBRUARY 22D 1892, with what looks like wheat grain bordering the right flank, and maple bows bordering the left flank. any ideas?
Saw a posting on Google of the exact same token two years ago, but no one had a clue. Thanks for the opportunity...Happy new year...George

Answer
Hello George,   

Tokens is not my field. This sounds like it was made after the date as a keepsake.
My searches did not find any matches on your item either.
You can try another expert here for US Notes Brad Swain  at :

I will keep your token in mind and post any information I find on this site for you.
