Yep-
Souvenier from an arcade or drugstore machine where you can punch in any letters you want.

The machine would look something like this and they were used into the 50's and maybe 60's because I remember them as a kid.

I just realized yours is patent 1455289 (1922) so yours would be dated 1922-1930's. Patents were only good for 10-15 years.

Here is a 1924 patent.
