BILLIKEN, “The god of things as they ought to be” the front states. Copyright 1908 by the Billiken Company, Chicago. The back reads:
I am the God of Luckiness
So always keep my nigh
Misfortune’s frown will disappear
At one flash from my eye
Be sure that I am on the spot
When projects you begin
I am the God of Luckiness
My name is Billiken
GOOD LUCK above the poem, and POCKET PIECE below the poem.
