Need help with ID on this token I'm stumped ?

Not a recent find , I have never found any info on this token so I thought I would ask here,has anybody seen or know anything about it. I found it in a Colorado mining camp it is a little larger token , about the size of a quarter. Thanks PPC

Seems like everyone has left the building, token watching-wise.
Roman? Caesar's Saloon?
Looks like he's standing on globe.
I've got one that has an imprint of what appears to be a duck, or a goose, and can't find anything about it either.
Still, a killer token!

I agree with Carl, that is a very cool old drink token! Don't maverick tokens want to make you pull your hair out though? So frustrating trying to attribute them.

I did search the TokenCatalog site, looking for another reverse which matched. There are none. I thought it might help place a time frame of issue...
As frustrating as this maverick may be to try and figure out, it's one of the cooler ones I've seen. Different and interesting.

Reminds me of a Hawaiian king's image.

Curbdigger, is your "duck" token made of aluminum or pewter? If so, it might be a Red Goose Shoes token. They used to give them out in different denominations when a customer bought a pair. I have two of them. They're basically play money. I don't know if that's what you have or not.

Thanks for the reply, doubtful that it's a red Goose.
Size of a nickel, copper, uni-faced.
Dug where we got 1880-1900 stuff, just never heard of a hotel token before.

either from another Country like Canada

or

(Half Cent era) I believe c1793 - 1857
of course most likely closer to the latter

There was a Roma Saloon in Telluride Co, in 1890.

There was a Saloon by the same name that cropped up in Ouray, Colorado in 1910.

I suspect one of these two is the source of your token.

It might be a knockoff of Blatz beer. Just guessing.
V. BLATZ LAGER BEER / (King Gambrinus) (TC-28543) Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Milwaukee County), U.S.A.

Was it perhaps found anywhere the centurion mine?

 

[I-DIG-IT]

Its cool. Nice digs.

 

[PikesPeakCharlie]

Thanks for all the replies ! It was found in Cripple Creek Colo, I'm guessing late 1890s to early 1900s

 

[Tonto]

You're right, Curbdigger.
It's not a Red Goose Shoes token. I've never seen one like this, but it's a dandy!

I would think the duck token had something to do with the Peabody Hotel in Memphis.
Look at the line going through the ducks neck and the 2 lines going down from that line. I would say the lines are a map. The line going through the ducks neck is Union ave us hwy 70 and the two lines going down are S 2nd st. & S 3rd st.
The duck thing started in 1933 & 1939 the ducks were trained to march . Quack Quack
