Motor Yacht Club

Stokes & Sons.

The button design shows a club burgee (a flag bearing the colours or emblem of a sailing club, typically triangular) bearing a propeller symbol, and the letters M.Y.C. for Motor Yacht Club. But which one? I think it looks like the Tasmanian club, although surely it should have had the letters M.Y.C.T?
