Found a coin purse with seated in it! Update on token.
Short and sweet, found a coin purse in a mucky swampy spot that had seated dimes , a barber , Indians, a token, and an Italian coin. Trying to post this with my phone , hope it works. ..I had time to research the token in the group this morning at the archives, here is what I found...1896 Directory![2015-02-11 11.53.34.jpg 2015-02-11 11.53.34.jpg](https://www.treasurenet.com/data/attachments/1124/1124251-c586e7f66291d2c7351108bfcbed01a1.jpg)
A saloon run by Thomas Pooley in Burlington MT, I found this coin purse "in" Burlington, which no longer exists, other than a few stone foundations and some sagebrush....The Anaconda standard. (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970
Also here in the Anaconda standard August 31st, 1896, page 6, the saloon is listed in a political article. And, it seems later that Thomas Pooley moved his saloon to Butte, and got himself into quite a bit of trouble! Apparently he had a feud with his son-in-law, and ended up killing both his daughter and his son-in-law.... Daily inter mountain. (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901
,The Butte inter mountain. (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912
, Lots of interesting history on him, makes the token ALOT more interesting now!
