Neat, but are you sure it's silver? It looks like a promotional giveaway coaster produced in stamped thin aluminium, which is why the underside you're showing appears in reverse image. Like these:

The 1960s date in the Etsy listing is probably wrong. The company apparently was originally "Stanley Home Products" and didn't become "Stanhome" until 1983. Some history [from Wiki]:
In 1931, Frank Stanley Beveridge created with Stanley Home Products (then Stanhome) in the United States a new form of sales for women and by women: meeting sales, also called home sales demonstrations.
Stanley Home Products inspired the American engineer Earl Tupper, founder of the Tupperware brand in 1946, to sell his products. In 1947, Earl Tupper noticed that only two of his door-to-door salesmen were successful in selling his products: Garry Macdonald and Brownie Wise, a demonstrator, worked for Stanley Home Products and introduced him to the sales method. Tupper hired Brownie Wise , now considered the originator of "Tupperware meetings" and one of the most important businesswomen of the 20th century, and, in 1954, she became the first woman to appear on the cover of Business magazine Week.
Nineteen years later, in 1950, Stanley Home began to expand internationally, under the leadership of Foster E. Goodrich, with the creation of a Mexican subsidiary. Seven years later, the Venezuelan subsidiary was created. In 1962, Stanhome expanded into Italy, and six years later into Spain. In 1972, Stanley Home Products created a subsidiary in France.
In 1983, Stanley Home Products Inc. became Stanhome.
The company collapsed in 1998 when Enesco pulled out of its partnership with Stanhome.
