St. Joseph Museums

The image shows four vintage tokens with a unique clover-like shape, arranged in a grid pattern on an orange-brown background. Two of the tokens are stamped with "THE NEW 5 EVE," while the other two display the phrase "GOOD FOR 5¢ IN TRADE." The tokens appear to be made of metal and may have served as currency or vouchers in a particular establishment. Their design includes embossed lettering and numbers, indicating they might have been used in early-to-mid 20th century trading, possibly in a specific local or regional market. The background suggests they are part of a display or collection, highlighting their potential historical or collectible value.
