dar76124 Valued Member United States 400 Posts	Posted Today 4H 23M ago A few weeks ago I posted this token and mentioned I has been unable to attribute it to a specific location. After a lot of internet searching and numerous dead ends I have found the following. 1) Per token catalog this token shares a reverse with 15 other tokens produced in 1901-1905 with 13 of those being from Washington state. 2) In 1902 the Del Monte Liquor House operated at 1502 Pacific Ave in Tacoma, WA. 3) 1502 Pacific Ave was built for the Union Savings Bank and was know as the "Savings Bank" building. The Del Monte Liquor House opened after the bank closed. 4) Del Monte Liquor House in the Savings Bank building = The Savings Bank Liquor House? Is this enough for an attribution?
