A wonderful find indeed! The Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. was established in 1884 and supplied Billiard equipment to saloons. Before that, in 1873 J.M. Brunswick merged with Balke to form Brunswick-Balke Co. So this token would have been made sometime between 1873 and 1884. A very valuable token!

Very nice token indeed, did you find it in your hometown or in FT. Worth?
At the site below there is an ad for the saloon from 1883.

Very nice and rare token from Ft. Worth Mr. Woody, here is a short article on a different Cattle Exchange token from Ft. Worth (a maverick that does not say Ft. Worth on the token) but has the prop. name on it,...article written by me maybe 15 years ago or more:
