St. Joseph Museums

The image features a vintage token made of what appears to be brass or a similar metal, with a round shape and a hole in the center designed in the form of a club suit symbol. The inscriptions on the token's surface read, "GOOD FOR 10¢ IN TRADE," suggesting its use as a trade token or a form of currency exchangeable for goods or services valued at ten cents. The text wraps around the perimeter of the token, and there is a small star symbol located near the bottom. The token's surface shows signs of age and wear, giving it a rustic appearance, and it is set against a black background that enhances its antique charm.
