The image displays a round, brass-colored token. The token features embossed text reading "G.S. PATTERSON" along the upper curve and "ST. JOSEPH AVE." along the bottom curve, with the number "1506" prominently positioned in the center. The token appears aged with slight tarnishing, giving it a vintage appearance. The detailed engraving and numbering suggest that this token may have served a specific purpose or function, possibly as a form of identification or a trade token, adding to its historical intrigue.
