R.D Space, Prop. Pleasant Hour Pool Parlor. 5 Cents.，<strong>Perhaps R. D. Space offered a table for a game of snooker, or a frothy mug of beer, in exchange for this little five cent scrip note. </strong> Or was his pool hall merely a front for an entirely different sort of activity? The game has always exuded a dicey aura; as early as 1741 the British banned billiards in colonial New York City, (pop. ca. 12,500.). <strong>The particulars of the Pleasant Hour Pool Parlor are lost in the mists of history, vanished without a trace. We know nothing of either the proprietor or his emporium. Only this mute enigma remains, a simple blue 5¢ chit. If a Sherlock amongst you exhumes the tale, please share it with us!</strong>，，
