Some of these older pieces are next to impossible to ID if you don't have a postcard/Stock share/Railroad poster to ref...
Sometimes when there was only one casino in a town/department/region there was very little to go by w/ the graphics on the piece... One such example was a set of jetons I had for years that only said something about the source (waters) and a small, little fountain embossed. Meant nothing to me living in a swamp... Then I found a later issue w/ the same fountain and text "Casino Forges-les-Eaux" that matched exactly... and then I found the joint was on a street named "Av. des Sources" (of all things ).
