Hotel Occidental Owney tag
Object Details
- Description
- The locations of some of the tokens Owney received on his journeys are impossible to track down. This flowery metal token offers few clues to its origin. “Occidental” was a popular name for hotels in the late nineteenth century--no other information on this token provides a clue as to where Owney received this strikingly-shaped hotel key token.
