Blanchester, Ohio Owney tag

Owney, American, c. 1888 - 1897 · 1888-1897

Owney received this trade check token from Wilson & Swing’s Billiard Hall in Blanchester, Ohio. The token was good for “5-cents at the bar.” There is no indication on the tag when it was given to the dog. Owney may have traveled to the town on the Baltimore & Ohio Southwest railroad, or the Cincinnati, Washington, and Baltimore Railroad.
