Old West Cat House Tokens With Black Carrying Bag

Old West Cat House Tokens were tokens that were used as currency in the saloons and brothels of the American Old West during the late 1800s and early 1900s. These tokens were typically made of brass or copper and were often stamped with a design or logo that represented the establishment where they were used.

The term "cat house" was a common slang term used to refer to brothels during this time period. The tokens were used as a form of payment for services provided by the prostitutes working in these establishments. Customers would purchase the tokens with their regular currency and then exchange them for the services they desired.

The black carrying bag that often accompanied these tokens was simply a way to transport and store them. It was common for customers to purchase large quantities of tokens at once, and the bag provided a convenient way to carry them around.

While Old West Cat House Tokens have historical value as artifacts from this time period, they are not redeemable for any current goods or services. They are primarily sold as collector's items or souvenirs.
