Can anyone tell me anything about this old billiards token. Is it a Brunswick-Balke-Collender token? I know it is a Maverick token from Wilber, NE but when was it issued and why doesn't it have the company name? Thanks! I'm a newbie.

@toe, first welcome to CCF. Second, I think that I found this piece attributed as TC-416467 over on the tokencatalog website here:

http://tokencatalog.com/token_recor...ord_offset=3

According to them:


Quote:
Jos. Ruzicka, saloon, Wilber, NE. as listed in 1884 NE. State Gaz. Joseph Ruzicka ran a saloon and billiards in Wilber, Neb. from 1884-1885 and in Farwell Neb in 1902. These dies are consistent with the 1884-1885 attribution.

Spence, Awesome, the link provided me with much more info than I had. Can I assume it an early Brunswick token?

mrwhatisit, Thank you as well. If yuo find any more details to share I'd be very appreciative. I found out in my searching that the early records from Brunswick-Balke-Collender were destroyed in a fire.
