FINAL AUCTION RECORD The Auctioneer’s podium notes serve as the final, legally binding record of the auction results, superseding any electronic bidding records. See Terms and Conditions
This 23mm token, redeemable in water, is one of the more unusual tokens from Nevada. It reads "Delamar Nevada Gold Mining / Co. / Delamar / Nevada // Good For / 5 / Gallons / Of Water." Hoskins, Schilling & Dunn Dc-5a. This company was only in operation from 1895 until 1902 so the date this token was issued must fall within these years. Classic piece that highlights the tough climate of many Nevada mining camps!
