The Crystal Palace Saloon in Tombstone, Arizona, was one of the most prominent and elegant establishments in the town during the 1880s. Located at the corner of Allen and Fifth Streets, it played a central role in the social and political life of Tombstone during its silver boom years. Originally, the building was the Golden Eagle Brewery, established around 1879. After a fire in May 1882 destroyed much of downtown Tombstone (including the brewery), the building was reconstructed and renamed The Crystal Palace Saloon. The Crystal Palace was not just a saloon—it also served as a restaurant, billiard hall, and even had office spaces upstairs, including law offices and the headquarters for the Tombstone Epitaph newspaper for a time. The condition of this roulette table is very well preserved with no obvious signs of damage and shows a good well preserved condition. The measurements of this roulette table is 95" x 60" x 44" H. TT97 This roulette table comes with provenance letter provided by the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum and reads as follows: This 1880's roulette wheel and table came from the world famous Crystal Palace on the corner of 5th and Allen street in Tombstone. The fore-runner of the Crystal Palace was the Golden Eagle Brewery Saloon. This table was purchased out of the Crystal Palace by Nick Gregovich around 1915. Nick's widow sold it to my father, Tony Shaieb, Sr. in the 70's and I have had it since his death last year.
