Message:: [QUOTE="Lyricfive, post: 3984503, member: 106009"]Hey all, My stepfather had put a large book together consisting of 377 prohibition era Connecticut town restaurant/bar tokens, all in alphabetical order by town and city. The book also has newspaper articles referencing certain taverns from that era. It is quite nice and I am trying to sell it but have zero clue what these tokens may be worth. I assume based on what I see on e bay from prohibition era tokens they typically sell anywhere between 1 dollar up to 35 dollars but have seen some tokens sell for much higher ...one (not from CT) sold for 300 on e bay (it was the bar Al Capone hung out at...which makes sense I suppose). These tokens are in pristine shape. I attached a few photos here and the thickness of the book itself. All pages are full of tokens. I suppose my question is would anyone be able to guesstimate the highest price or price range one should ask for this book consisting of 377 vintage CT bar/tavern tokens? I am not sure if there may be a few gems in here is all or if that is such a thing when it comes to bar tokens. Is there something I should look out for regarding higher quality tokens that may be worth more? I assume the ones from the major cities may be worth more than the smaller towns? My assumption was anywhere between 5 and 25 dollars each based on condition? I realize this is a lot of information....Any info is appreciated.[/QUOTE]
