I'm starting with this video highlighting my Eldorado Saloon tokens. August Fetsch made these tokens sometime between 1895-1910. This saloon was also called the Eagle or the Corner Saloon. It is hard to find a lot of information on early saloons in Grants Pass. The local newspaper, the Rogue River Courier, didn't print ads for saloons. I'm not sure if this was a "moral" decision or if there was a law against advertising. From the amount of temperance material published I'm going to say it was probably a choice of the editor.

Eldorado Saloon, Grants Pass, OR
I just started this blog to focus on my hobby of token and coin collecting. I mainly collect tokens from my hometown of Grants Pass, OR but I have been expanding my interests. I'll be making videos and highlighting some of the items from my collection as well as new finds.
