Tolerance house token, pewter, 53 mm, smooth edge, obverse with angelic character, suggestive reverse side, wear, ABE, nota : In order to avoid any exchange of money between the clients and the residents, which could have led to a certain concealment on the part of the latter, to allow discussions with the clients on the rates with regard to the services, to oblige these ladies to keep a cash register with risk of error or theft, the client gives the price of the service to the manageress in exchange for which he receives a token allowing him, in the lounge or in the estaminet, to choose his partner for a moment. All he has to do is hand the token to the chosen one who will calm his ardour. The next day the tokens are given to the housewife as proof of activity and the girl receives her small share.
