That would be a yes to all the above! Thanks for the help guys! I noticed they both say ***RARE or ***SCARCE. I think I might hang on to these for awhile.

***RARE or ***SCARCE on the website that is...not on the actual token.

I have been unsuccessful in getting any information on these. I know its on a few token websites, but i love the history behind them.I have emailed the town historians at the local universities. They haven't had any information for me. I don't have any solid hits for The Eagle Saloon Token from Temple. I read an old Belton newspaper online which references the Silver King Saloon. The only pieces I have put together is the Silver King Saloon existed around 1920. I like doing as much research as I can about what I find!! I have been doing research to see who Vick & Waters are. I am assuming it is the last name of the Saloon owners maybe?

hey krusty;

not sure how everytime I write "watters" it changes to "waters", but the tx listing shows "waters"
ebay gets some high dollars on saloon especially and lumber tokens as well.
