Owner's Description

R7 Brewery & Bakery Interesting business combination...I guess if you already have the yeast...why not? Only about 11 pieces are known (most VF or less) of what is probably Idaho's earliest token. This is a major rarity, and most specimens known are in far lower grades, on Thursday, May 18th, 1865, the entire downtown district of Idaho City burned down, under the losses listed was the Main St. establishment of "Knauer & Co., Miners Brewery, $15,000"
