Finding information on this token will be a real challenge...................

I found this saloon token at an old camp site on a ranch the other day...near San Antonio, Texas. I have done all types of Google searches for "Garibaldi Saloon" but can not find out anything about this token. Any help would be much appreciated. Kelley (Texas) :)

I did a few searches using various search engines and one of them had a little info about a Garibaldi's saloon in Jackson, California in the 1880's that was owned by a Guan B. Cozzaglio. Also turned up a .pdf file of tokens for sale that had a token from the California Garibaldi saloon up for auction. I grabbed it as a photo

If it's from the California saloon it's a long way from home, and judging from the minimum allowed bid on the one for sale in the photo it's worth a few bucks :).
 
I did notice that there was a saloon in California near San Francisco I think. I was concentrating on finding a saloon by that name in South Texas that I sorta ignored the California location.

The site where I found it was an old cowboy camp site near a dry spring. Indians also camped in the immediate area because I have found a few arrowheads there. If this saloon token is from California, how in the world did it end up in South Texas.

Thank you for going to bat for me by trying to help to locate the saloon that issued the token. Please have a great day! Kelley (Texas) :)
 
Hey Kelly.........
If I had known it was Ca.
I would have looked it in my 1971 Kappen book for Ca. tokens
Finding it in Texas makes it even better, I found a Texas token in Ca. once, If I can find it, I will post it
This book is 1971
so you can figure 10 times the amount shown:clapping:
And if you notice, there are no listings for "GOOD FOR AT BAR"
Only "GOOD FOR 5C DRINK"So that could make it even more valuable:cheers:
With shape yours is in, and the prices I see
You got a good one there
Gotta love them Tokens
Rather find one than silver
Well, OK a seated might be good:wiggle:
Nice find


HH TIM :twodetecting:

P.S.

Thought I'd through in a pic of the autographed page in my book
 
I would almost bet your token is from the California saloon. People have always traveled long distances, and most took some odd things with them. A few years ago a guy from somewhere in Michigan posted on one of the forums wanting to know what kind of token he had found, turned out to be a worthless one mill aluminum depression era Mississipp tax token that had somehow found it's way to yankee land:). And at the old stagestop and inn site I posted about on Royals Story Forum we found 3 Spainish coins that dated from the 1700's so it's not unusual to find coins, tokens and other things a long way from where they should be. Darn good find, and I agree with doublet2a, I'd much rather find something like that than a common silver coin:).
