Notes The TAHITI Good Luck token issued by the Tahiti Jewelry store is the same diameter, made of the same metal and has the same reverse design as well as similar design elements on the obverse. The pattern in naming the stores (Tahiti Jewelry Store, Philippines Ratan Furniture Store) suggests that the two stores had the same owner or owners, who most likely ordered both of these tokens from the same manufacturer around the same date.
