Vintage Texas Chicken Ranch "All Night $3" Novelty Token – Polished or Unpolished

Own a cheeky piece of Texas folklore with this collectible Texas Chicken Ranch "All Night $3" novelty token. Inspired by the legendary brothel in La Grange, Texas, these tokens were never used by the original establishment but were later produced as novelty souvenirs—now sought after by collectors of Americana and exonumia.

Background:

The Texas Chicken Ranch operated from 1905 until its closure in 1973 and became famous as one of the last operating brothels in the state. Although widely known, there is no evidence that the Chicken Ranch ever issued official currency or tokens. These $3 "All Night" tokens are modern commemorative pieces, created after the brothel closed and meant for fun or display—not for actual use.
