St. Joseph Museums

The image displays two metallic tokens on a yellow surface, both having a distinctive clover shape. The token on the left is inscribed with the words "THE NEW SEVER" on top, a street address, and what appears to be a unique design or emblem in the center. The token on the right is engraved with the phrase "GOOD FOR 5¢ IN TRADE," suggesting its use as a form of currency or promotional item in past commercial transactions. Each token shows signs of wear and age, indicating that they may have been used many years ago, possibly serving as tokens in a local establishment or store.
