i asked a knowledgeable collector and here's his reply ---

"A skigger was a "premium" token. Tokens were given away to customers when they made a purchase. The tokens were used to "buy" special premium merchandise, similar to the way green stamps were used a few decades ago..."

hope this helps a little
