In which the rabbit leads us from a Mike Royko column to the sordid past of the South Loop, then to Chicago's most famous celebrity in his day, and finally to arguably the greatest tragedy in the city's history.
Hi - I am a token collector and I have an Eddy Foy's Cocktail Lounge token. It is good for 5 cents. It is made of brass and is scalloped. In case you aren't familiar with tokens - it is about the size of a quarter. But, with the shape and scalloped edges seems to be 1930's or older. So perhaps if you check out a Polk directory from 1930's or older (perhaps you library has a collection of the Polk directories) you might find your answer... In the meantime, I am willing to part with this token. You can email me at dunmoving331951@gmail.com
So kind of you Jan! But I have to admit I've probably reached my limit on collecting ephemera. I'd love a picture of yours though if should you have time to take one and email! RoselandChicago1972@gmail.com Thanks!
