Description: FOR the complete story, FULL DETAILS and BIG CLEAR PICTURES, Please SEE THE DESCRIPTION 1894-1912 PRESCOTT ARIZONA "Good For 5¢ In Trade" J P DILLON "Cigar Store" TOKEN Description This is a very nice, old, territorial days, "Good For 5¢ In Trade" token from "J. P. Dillon" of Prescott, Arizona. Joe P. Dillon sold “Cigars & Tobacco” from as early as 1894 until at least 1912. Fred A. May operated a Pool Hall or Billiard Parlor from before 1919 until around 1933. They both issued tokens singularly. This is one of them. Dillon issued this 5¢ & two types of 12½¢ tokens up to around 1912. May issued a single type 12½¢ token starting sometime before 1919. At some point they also issued "Dillon & May" 12½¢ tokens. Prescott (pronounced by most locals as "Press-kit" instead of "Press-cot") is a city in Yavapai County, Arizona. (please see the map below). In 1863 this remote and lightly populated town was designated as the original capital of the “Arizona Territory”. This was done in order to keep the seat of government far from Confederate sympathizers prevalent in the southern part of the state. The territorial capital was moved south to Tucson in 1867. Ten years later in 1877, Prescott again became the territorial capital and remained so until the capital was finally changed to Phoenix in 1889. Arizona became a State on Valentine's Day, February 14, 1912. Weight: 4.45 Grams, 21 Millimeters, Brass. "Arizona Trade Tokens 2021" by Peter Spooner. (Me) #PRE-175.
