Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 01/09/2018 5:18 pm Came across this today - Found an auction listing for a similar piece, see: http://auction.tokencatalog.com/auc...on_id=143147 The above is described as 20.5 mm in diameter, however my example is larger at 24.4 mm. Supposedly this would've been used by U.S. military personnel stationed in Japan. Can anybody shed more light on what sort of establishment Roger's was, and what role Seeburg and the R.C. Williams & Co. played in this? Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

Circus Pillar of the Community United States 3079 Posts	Posted 01/10/2018 08:37 am More than likely it was a bar/restaurant that catered to Westerners. in other locations in ports of call for say the US navy, that would have had a entertainment section for servicemen. Would have had as mentioned jukeboxes, time frame probably after the US occupied Japan after WWII. While our ship was in a shipyard in Japan in the early 70's the jukeboxes used coin of the realm and not tokens. Report this Post to the Staff

That makes sense, and might also account also for the transition at some point from a more or less dime sized token to a quarter sized one. Seeburg went out of business in 1980, but that doesn't mean the tokens couldn't have continued to have been used afterwards. They might also have worked in other properly adjusted coin-op stuff, such as pinball games or vending machines. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
