Warsaw Billiard & Pool Parlor Cincinnati Ohio Token?

[Butterfield]

I have this one listed on tokencatalog.com but so far no one has made an attribution: Warsaw Billiard & Pool Parlor. I feel it's most likely from Cincinnati but don't have any references from there. Does anyone know?

Be careful - too many incorrect attributions have been made over the years by assuming a word in the business name means the town.

Ok here's another thought - Edward Wessels had at pool room on Warsaw Av in Cincinnati. This is from 1911.

Correct there are entirely Too many Villages/Cities named Warsaw in the U.S.

Add to that there is Probably a Large Population of People with the Last name Warsaw in the U.s.

I found 184,411 results containing “the phrase "warsaw"” 1836 to 1963

Though the Number of Connections Between the Words Billiard & Warsaw
are Extremely Limited,7 results containing “warsaw Billiard”
& all but 2 are Connected in Error .https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/...rd&proxdistance=5&rows=20&searchType=advanced


That doesn't mean much , as Not Everything makes the Papers.

A major clue though is the maker of this token - Wright & Son of Cincinnati which is why the OP thinks the token is from there. I think they did tend to make tokens mainly for the general Cincinnati area.

I appreciate all of your help, guys. The guy I bought it from is from Indiana, if that makes any difference at all. I, too, was thinking that most of the Wright & Son tokens I've seen have been from the Cincinnati area.

when it comes to news stories in Indiana & Ohio News Papers,
Indiana & Ohio are so close at sharing them, They may as well be the same state.

an Ohio Token in Indiana Or Vice-versa Doesn't surprise me
