Token Reads: Standard/Club/Quartette//*5*// Brass, 23mm XFAU Choice dark toning. This discovery piece was purchased with a major Nevada collection. It was previously unknown and we spent the last 2 years researching the piece. We were able to obtain original ephemera from Searchlight and Quartette, which was a mining camp directly associated with the Quartette Mine ,approximately 1 mile from Searchlight Proper. The ephemera in this group, which numbers at least 20 pieces, includes 3 promotional multi-page pieces, inclusive of a broadside, which discuss and show the Quartette Mine. One very important promotional piece shows the Quartette town site and associated buildings. The town itself was primarily a company town, generally operating from the 1901 to 1907 period. No other Quartette was located by us in America and we believe the name is unique to the Quartette Mine, which was a famous producer. The mine flourished from 1901-1915 producing approximately $2.3 million in gold and silver, making it the best mine in Searchlight by far.
