Old Game Notebook: Magical Tokens

Following are the contents of a handwritten sheet of notebook paper that I believe dates to the period 1982-84 and contains magic items that may have been generated using an article in Dragon Magazine about common-looking objects that have minor enchantments associated with them. At the time I titled this list "Random Magic Items" but I would be more likely today to refer to them as tokens or some such. There is, in any event, still a good use for little items of this sort, especially in low-level adventures, and I think things along these lines tend to be underutilized.
