Bowie Eating House///G.F./5/ In Trade. Rd., Br., 25mm. R-8.

Ft. Bowie was established around 1876, following the surrender of Geronimo the fort at Apache Pass was no longer needed . Residents of the fort area who remained after the closing established a small town closer to Wilcox and the Butterfield stage line. The Bowie Eating House is listed in Birts "Arizona Tokens" as operating around 1902. They issued tokens in 20, 15, 10, and 5 cent denominations. There are only a total of 5 issuers for Bowie, none earlier than the Eating House. Very scarce.
