Ornaments on Numbered Tokens

In addition to the numbers and text, numbered trade stimulator tokens (like other trade stimulator tokens) may have a number of small ornaments. Often the same token is found with varying ornaments. This page lists some of the more common ornaments.

 

Description	Picture(s)	Notes
Bowtie		Very common, this one can vary quite a bit
Propeller
Dot
Star in dot		Incuse 5-pt star in raised dot. The star is small enough it can be difficult to make out details, but it is clearly different from the standard dot
5-pointed star
6-pointed star
8-pt star		This can resemble a "dot" at first glance, but closer inspection will show points
Open Diamond
+ (plus sign, or cross)
Three 5-pt stars		Often the two outer stars are smaller. May be arranged in an arc (as in this image) or in a straight line.
dot-diamond-dot
Two diamonds
Small "T"		I'm not sure just what this is, but resembles a "T" (upside down from this angle)
