Commentary
Il est probable que ce petit jeton était monté en épingle de cravate par un fervent du plus lourd que l’air au tournant du XIXe siècle.
It is likely that this small token was mounted as a tie pin by a heavier-than-air enthusiast at the turn of the 19th century.

Historical background
TRANSPORTATION (TRAINS, BUSES, TRAMS, BOATS, ETC.)
The railway from Paris to Saint-Germain, inaugurated on August 24, 1837, is at the origin of the western railway network since the law of July 9, 1835. One of the locomotives used is a Seguin, model 1829 , the first French smoke tube locomotive. The Western Railway Company was liquidated in 1909 to form part of the state network. On August 31, 1937, the forced merger of the five concessionary companies, North, East, Paris-Orléans, PLM, State, Alsace Lorraine gave birth to the SNCF.
