St. Joseph Museums

The image shows two round metallic tokens with embossed text. The token on the left reads "THE STEVER" at the top, "511½ EDMOND ST." at the bottom, and features some decorative symbols. This design suggests the token might be associated with a business or location named "The Stever" on Edmond Street. The token on the right displays the text "GOOD FOR 10¢" at the top and "IN TRADE" at the bottom, indicating it was likely used as a form of currency or credit within a specific establishment, allowing the holder to trade it for goods or services valued at ten cents. The background is a soft, textured, orange-brown material, possibly felt, which provides a contrasting backdrop that highlights the metallic tokens. This image captures a piece of vintage or historical memorabilia, reflecting past practices of local trade and commerce through company-specific tokens. The worn surface of the tokens hints at their age and use, adding to their historical intrigue and aesthetic character.
