Neat token! I don't know where R.A.B.'s Saloon was, but the Brunswick & Balke Company was one of the early names of the Brunswick Corporation. They had that name from 1874 to 1884. I'm guessing they were a sponsor of that particular saloon, as there are other tokens with the same saloon but a different name on the other side. See wikipedia about Brunswick and eBay for the other token.
