Tammany Hall cigar token

Blackhawk

Does any forum member collect or have knowledge of cigar tokens. I have one from Tammany Hall in New York and was wondering about it's history, rarity, and value. Sorry...I'd include a scan but my scanners on the fritz.

Rulau lists only one example in his book "United States Tokens 1700-1900"
It doesn't sound like your token as cigars are not mentioned on it but here it is anyway.

Tammy Hall NY- Brass- 25mm-Two billiard cues crossed-with letters N.B.N. Co. in angles of the cross all whithin central circle-around: National Billiard Manufacturing Co. Rv.Good For/ 5 cents / IN /"TRADE" - plain edge- no date shown- no date given- notation: This may not be the famous Tammy Hall in New York, Democratic Party Headquarters.

Maybe it was a pool hall that sold 5 cent stogies.

Edit: forgot to add no price given either.
