two similar tokens are listed at tokencatalog.com
here is the link to them -- one with a town name and the other without.

http://tokencatalog.com/display_rec...d=&SearchStringAnyWord=&action=DisplayRecords

one appears to have additional wording on front -- O. Mc
the other has a town name -- Carters, Cal.
1.the difference could mean there was a variation (issuance) from the same place -- due to change in owner, or they ran out...
2.could be different location entirely -- likely WESTSIDE SALOON would be a neat name in any states/tpwn!
3.the listing (without an image) itself could have been done wrong--this is doubtful

just offering a little help. looks like more looking is needed.

Even as a Maverick, just having the word "saloon" makes it special.
Long bus special.
Kudos.

Could be West Side, IA I look around and ask.

This token is made in St. Louis, Missouri by A.E. Schmidt. I believe it dates to after 1940 based on other usages of this die. By the 1940's this maker was distributing tokens across the US. It is a post-prohibition saloon token.

It is not related to either the Carters, CA or Currie, MN tokens for the West Side Saloon which are shown on TokenCatalog.com. These tokens are from a different maker and from a different time period.

I'm sorry I can't offer a better attribution at this time. It would be great to be able to use this image on the TokenCatalog site... with your permission.
