Comment

The establishment at 22, rue des légionnaires in Tétange was run from the 1930s onwards by the couple Michel Reuter and Maire Haupert. Michel Reuter was also a shareholder in the mining company "Joseph Schiltz & Cie Eweschbour". Michel Reuter died on October 28, 1945, and the establishment remained in the Reuter family until the late 1970s. The café no longer exists.

Token from the Thevenon & Cie workshop in Paris, used from the 1920s until 1954. Tokens from the Thevenon workshop are characterized by a small triangle bearing a mirrored leaf and the initials "T & Cie" in lower-case letters.
