Harry213 Pillar of the Community United States 1098 Posts	Posted 01/24/2013 1:27 pm I found this in a huge lot of coins I purchased that contained everything from common to scarce world coins to an assortment of various exonumia; trade, tax, transport, entertainment, medals, etc.. I've looked on the web and even checked Richard's token data base, where the closest I could find was this; http://tokencatalog.com/token_recor...ord_offset=0 I've done searches and come up with similar for sale as much as $200. Can anyone shed some info on this and it's possible catalog value? Report this Post to the Staff

fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 01/24/2013 4:11 pm I see you already have it on the bay. I'd do a little more research before I asked $200. There is a billiard token catalog for sale also. Good luck. Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 01/24/2013 8:28 pm A 1923 Polk's Tulsa,Oklahoma City Directory lists one "Madison Billiard Parlor." This is one possibility. Perhaps, there was a billiard parlor by this name in Madison, Wisconsin? Report this Post to the Staff

Thanks fioti, Yes I know it's a stretch, I really don't have a clue what it's worth I just put it up on ebay to generate some attention to it, since I've not seen nor heard of this token, there may be a billiard token collector out there looking for it and I wouldn't want to let it go for just 0.99 cents .. I forgot to add a Best Offer option to the sale. I just figured ebay was the best place I knew of to find out quick what something might be worth.

Thanks ExoGuy, I've come up with places like Oklahoma and other southern states having had similar named pool halls. I wonder what Schaaf-Mnpls has to do with it? I have found several other tokens with this inscribed on it. Not sure if it was located in Minnesota or just where they made the token? Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 08:45 am Schaaf-Mnpls is the maker's mark. If you Google that within quotation marks, you'll see that company made a variety of billiard tokens for different establishments. Some more digging will tell you about the company. You can likely find other Schaff tokens pictured in Richard's Token Database. Happy hunting. Report this Post to the Staff
