Comment
Token from Café du Progrès, 28, rue de Diekirch, Arlon. The establishment had been owned by the Breyer couple since the early 20th century. Following the death of her partner, the widow Breyer put the café up for sale at the end of 1937. The establishment had a bowling alley in the basement, a café, kitchen and dining room on the first floor, and 6 bedrooms upstairs. The café is still open today.Token not listed by R. Weiller in his two books. This token cannot be attributed to a specific owner. However, the period of minting can be situated between the two world wars [Weiller typology no. 13].
