[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 8230468, member: 13307"]Hello again, yet another "looking through a batch of random stuff and I found something interesting post" from me. What I have today is a Hannah & Hogg Saloon Token (1880's) from the Chicago, IL area. There is a blog mention of this store and its owners [URL='http://pre-prowhiskeymen.blogspot.com/2013/07/hannah-hogg-sowed-thistles-in-chicago.html']here[/URL] with a nice write up of the history of the place. According to this [URL='https://www.ebay.com/itm/224852104256?hash=item345a3ad440:g:RboAAOSwne1iFakP']eBay link[/URL], the catalog number for this token is IL-CH-32. My example is referred to as the "8-line" reverse, while the [URL='https://en.numista.com/catalogue/exonumia174391.html']Numista link[/URL] shows a less common "7-line" reverse (omitting Chicago from the bottom.) My token in hand is in excellent overall condition with some surface issues (as if it has been cleaned at some point.) It's much nicer than most examples I found available online, which seem to sell for somewhere between $15-30. If anyone has any more information about this token, I'd love to hear it here! Thank you for checking out my post.
