FA: Old Chicago Striptease Club Token, "Good For 5c in Drinks"
The "French Casino" is listed in Chicago Confidential (1950) under
"Palaces of Peel" where one can see "Bare Babes," though stripping was illegal in Chicago then. A scarce if not rare token, listed as R5 (highest rarity R6) by the late Ore Vacketta in his catalog of Illinois trade tokens. The condition of this token might be improved by having some corrosion "stripped off," however. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=8423197203 Check my other auctions for a rare Chicago Greek association token dated 1901, some Illinois provisional sales tax tokens of 1933, a set of very nice medals issued by Benchmark bourbon, interesting Latin American tokens, and a few other items. I've been asked by a friend in the coin club to help him dispose of a token collection that he acquired through an estate, and this is the first in a series of auctions. Thanks for looking!
