Comment
Jeton de Bal - Paris 11thThree owners have succeeded one another at this address, each minting tokens in their own name. In January 1913, the Chambon couple took over a former drinking establishment and set up a bal musette. The 1914 war interrupted the establishment's success. The owner was mobilized in Champagne and killed in a battle. After the war, the widow remarried Léon Lassaigne , who took over the business, consolidating the position acquired by Chambon in the busy Rue de Lappe, where competition from balls was fierce. In 1926, Félix Roussel took over the business, but sold it three years later to the Carcanague ball, which wanted to expand.
