St. Joseph Museums

The image displays two round, scalloped-edge metal tokens placed against a plain background. The left token reads "J. Bergman 118 South 6th St. Joseph, MO." with decorative dot borders along the edge. The right token shows the text "Good For 25¢ In Trade" prominently in the center, also bordered by a series of dots. Both tokens seem to be vintage trade tokens, commonly used in the past for specific-purpose transactions at particular establishments or locations, reflecting a historical business practice where such tokens would substitute for currency within that business or locale.
