Advertising token for Georges Michel's hat shop, initially located at 4. and later at 12. rue des capucins in Luxembourg City. The exact date of the move remains unknown, but is likely to have been around the time of the 1st World War. Georges Michel succeeds his father and uncle, who were hatters at 38. Grand-Rue in Luxembourg. Georges Michel took over the business in 1888. The end date of his activities remains unknown.Note the typo in the street name: Capucines instead of Capucins.
