NEWP Saloon Token with some related pics

Picked this up on ebay tonight. Got a very good deal on it. I was pawing through the Nevada Post Card Album, a great source for photographs of turn of the century Nevada towns, to try to get some info to do a write-up. I was surprised to see that the pictures included for the town of Dayton (the pictures were all from Real-Photo Post Cards) had two images of the O'Deon Saloon. The first is an image looking down Main Street, while the other was a view of the O'Deon Saloon's "facade."

Cool token, especially with the corresponding pics. I wonder how many beers 12 1/2 cents bought in the early 1900's? It's also neat that Marilyn Monroe filmed part of "The Misfits" there.
Nifty stuff.

A bit (12 1/2 cents) was the standard price of a glass of beer or shot of whiskey.

Eight beers for a buck! Reminds me of "Nickel beer night" at Royal Reds near Centenary College! I don't think Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable frequented the place, though.

And a bath in those turn-of-the-century days would cost you 2 1/2 cents. So would a shave.

Just goes to show how much those westerners valued their booze.

Seeing that horse and buggy makes me wonder when the first automobile rolled into that town.

Very cool stuff and it definitely takes you back to a simpler time; although times were drastically changing a lot!!!

Looks like fun. Thanks for the post.
