Found this DtB Chicago token. I've seen these in my Knoxville research and always assumed they were a 19th century thing. I mean, making your own money to buy stuff in a bar? I had the DtB Waikiki Aka Dala for a long time and figured it was a Hawaii before statehood thing. I would guess this is from the 40s, but just a guess. When drinks at Don's were 60-100 cents, a 1/20th dollar token wasn't as useless as it would be today. How one got these tokens I would like to know. I have visions of a slot machine in the lobby...
