    Description

    Joe Beeler pewter token made for Eddie Basha.
    It is approx 3 1/2 inches in diameter and weighs about 8.0 oz.
    It is from a series of 27 different medallions made by artist Joe Beeler.  They were commissioned by uber-collector Eddie Basha, Jr. . . .chairman of Bashas’ Grocery Stores in Arizona, to give to friends as Christmas gifts ca. 1975-2005.  They were made in editions of about 1,000, mainly in pewter and some in bronze.
    “Very popular among western art collectors, Beeler, who passed away in 2006, was an award-winning painter and sculptor of cowboy and Indian life as lived in the late 1800s.  Though these medallions were originally given by Basha as gifts, they sell for as much at 0 on the secondary market.”
