St. Joseph Museums

The image shows a vintage circular brass token with an inscription in embossed lettering that reads "ST. JOSEPH GYMNASTIC SOCIETY" along with the address "814 CHARLES ST." The token has a worn, slightly tarnished appearance, indicative of age and historical value, with some areas showing bronze hues. The lettering is centered on the token, and the words follow the circular shape, suggesting it was used as a membership or entry medallion for the St. Joseph Gymnastic Society, possibly granting access or denoting affiliation with the organization. The background appears to be a dark blue fabric, providing contrast to highlight the token's details.
