Got no idea where these tokens are from. All were found in Baker City, if that helps any. Educated guesses would be appreciated. If you have any ideas, please email me at
bamferns@eoni.com. Will post the answers as they come in.
This is a poor scan for a Hotel Evans, Good for 5 c. Found in a yard all by itself. Only hotel operated by an Evans that I have been able to come up with northeast Oregon was the Bourne Hotel in Bourne Oregon. Which is highly unlikely, as the CrackerJack Saloon token is the only one token known to have come from Bourne.
B & B Saloon, Good for 5 c. Was found in the town drunk's yard; along with a pocket full of other Baker City bar tokens (mainly J.F. Scott, but one Old Bar) and early 20th century coins. As most of the coins were 1919 and earlier, suspect that this was probably lost sometime around WWI. Suspect that it is a Baker City token, but haven't been able to find a reference to the B & B Saloon.
Silver Grill and Bar, Good for 5 c. All I can say is that it was found in a local schoolyard. Any ideas where the Silver Grill and Bar was located?
Now this is an odd on! Stuck incuse on one side only. E.W. Watton, Good for 1 shine. Now is this a shoeshine token or a moonshine token? Ideas are welcomed.
