Cool piece of history
Nice stampings of Brothel tokens. they are priced EACH so read the description carefully. I use them as card guards for poker games. Unusual and fun.

Kinda pricy, but feels authentic
I bought several tokens, each had a different saying. Some might find a few of the sayings un-PC, but the tokens are supposed to be 19th century accurate. I think the per-token price is too high, but overall I am okay with purchase.

Poorly executed novelty item
Crudely stamped. Still fun to show off, but could be better.

Interesting costume detail
I wanted one to hand to judges at SASS costume contests. The one I got was from "Blair House" So I had to look it up. The token purports to be from a Silverton bordello called “The Blair House,” which was operated by a madam named “Jew Fanny.” The token is believed to be a hoax, minted in the 1950s or 1960s. There was no “Blair House” in Silverton, and a real brothel token wouldn’t have used words such as this one. But Jew Fanny did exist. Her real name was Fanny Wright, and she ran a small house of prostitution in Silverton into the 1940s. She was one of many prostitutes in Colorado who acted as a nurse during the horrible flu epidemic of 1918. Fanny was born in Pennsylvania, and after arriving in Silverton early in the 19th century, she worked first in a small house in the notorious Blair Street district, according to Allan G. Bird’s book, “Bordellos of Blair Street.” No photos of Fanny are known to exist, but a woman who served as her hairdresser described her: “Fanny was a short plumpish woman with a very pretty face,” the hairdresser told Bird. “She had a pimp named Hans Pavelich, a gambler … Fanny kept him in the finest clothes. After she left Silverton (in 1948), she married Hans.” Fanny died in Salida not long afterward. She was probably in her late 50s or early 60s. Now you know.

Fun
I bought a pair of these on a whim but now I think I want the full set. They look great and are made of real metal not that pot metal crap. They are large coins about the size of a half-dollar or so. I like them.

Gave these out as a joke gift to some friends, and currently use one as a dealer chip when playing cards.

Brothel Coins
I have had these coins for a week. I have had so much FUN with them. Even let one of my Brother in Laws talk me out of 2 of them. Cannot wait to start my Christmas shopping with your Company. My fiance is an AVID coin collector. When I told him I had obtained some Civil War Coins he was excited. We had a great laugh over them.

The picture got me...
People don't read, they look. I saw token(s) because of the picture. Now that I go back and re-read, I see where it says price per token. that, might need to be bolded and in red. Nice quality token, the price was good, but I thought I was getting a half dozen or so to pass out to party-goers. Not mad, my fault (mostly) just let down. Do like Historical Emporium, and there is a 100% chance I will use them again.
