<p>[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 1552839, member: 39"]The token mentions the location - "Bitsch" in German. In French (the place is in northern Lorraine) it is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/*****e" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/*****e" rel="nofollow">*****e</a>, and that is what we primarily use in today's German too. By the way, "Kantine" is a pretty normal German word for any type of eatery that is part of, say, a factory. Usually implies self service, limited menu and many customers. As far as I know, Bitsch was (in the "German years" 1871-1914/18) a military training/proving place ... Here are some other, similar token from different Kantine operators:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ma-shops.com/saive/item.php5?id=11088&lang=en" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ma-shops.com/saive/item.php5?id=11088&lang=en" rel="nofollow">http://www.ma-shops.com/saive/item.php5?id=11088&lang=en</a></p><p><a href="http://www.ma-shops.com/saive/item.php5?id=11089&lang=en" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ma-shops.com/saive/item.php5?id=11089&lang=en" rel="nofollow">http://www.ma-shops.com/saive/item.php5?id=11089&lang=en</a></p><p><a href="http://www.ma-shops.com/saive/item.php5?id=11090&lang=en" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ma-shops.com/saive/item.php5?id=11090&lang=en" rel="nofollow">http://www.ma-shops.com/saive/item.php5?id=11090&lang=en</a></p><p><a href="http://www.ma-shops.com/saive/item.php5?id=11124&lang=en" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ma-shops.com/saive/item.php5?id=11124&lang=en" rel="nofollow">http://www.ma-shops.com/saive/item.php5?id=11124&lang=en</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
