The local historical group may have some info, Business directories form the area. Baker City Oregon. Try googling Baker city Oregon lots of info. Was a mining area  for gold. 12 1/2 ¢ was the change for a bucket of beer, or so I have been told. I you wanted real money you had to ask. It was one way of keeping ypu either to stay and drink there or come back to the establishment.

I am interested in this information beacuse i grew up in baker city and still currently live here. But when i was looking up the information about this, i found plenty of information about the token era. But i can not find anything about this specific token.

i found a token that says "good for 12 1/2 in trade"  on one side and" J.H. McGinnis baker city ORE" on the other. its from oregon and i can not find any information online for it except on tokencatalog.com its listed under #13541. i was just wondering if there is anyone who may know any specific places to find saloon token era information for this token.
