The image shows two vintage trade tokens made from a metallic material with a unique clover-like shape. On the left token, the embossed text reads "THE NEW ST. ELMO," accompanied by an address "311½-13½ ELMOND ST. S." in smaller characters. This side also features decorative dots around the edge and a small ornamental design in the center. The right token prominently displays the words "GOOD FOR 50¢ IN TRADE," encircled by a similar decorative dot border. Both tokens lie on a flat, yellowish surface, possibly a table or cloth, highlighting their worn, historical condition.
