Saloon Token ID needed...

[Kieth-Tx]

A buddy found this token and having a hard time finding out anything about it. It reads:

Silver Moon Saloon Des Moines New Mexico, M (E or F) Davis Prop
Good for 1 Drink

Found out that there was a fort there back in the 1840's.
The town is still there with a population of.....177!

Thanks for any help.

Nice token! Not listed in Kiser's NM Trade Tokens book. I'll e-mail him and report what he says

Kiser says M. E. Davis had a saloon in Des Moines, NM 1907-10. He knew of the token, apparently one had been reported to him since his book was published.
