Re: Gem Saloon Token FAKE
In Response To: It's a word puzzle... ()

Don't be mislead - tokens like this never existed except in someone's fertile imagination! There are genuine brothel tokens but they never gave any indication of their use. There are genuine Gem Saloon tokens but this ain't one of them. The perpetrators of this garbage sell them wholesale for $8-10 per dozen. The Token And Medal Society has taken a strong stand on these and, further, maintains a collection of these for those of an interest. I used to collect them but a few years ago decided to donate the whole lot (about 200 pieces) to the TAMS collection. For further information contact David Schenkman, Box 316, Bryantown, MD 20617. He is the TAMS Journal Editor and "Curator of the Fakes!"
