No Date Token TC-341390 Aluminum 22mm Union Club and Poolhall AK

Coin Details

Description

This undated aluminum trade token, cataloged as TC-341390, is a 22mm piece issued by the Union Club and Poolhall of Alaska. This establishment combined social club functions with billiards recreation, a common combination in Alaska's small frontier communities where a single establishment often served multiple social purposes. The aluminum composition and compact size are typical of twentieth-century Alaskan trade tokens. Pool halls served as important social gathering places in Alaska's remote communities, providing entertainment during the long dark winters. The Union Club name may reference a union labor organization or simply denote a place of coming together. Alaska poolhall tokens document the recreational life of communities where entertainment options were limited by isolation and harsh climate.
