| Comments |
French boulangers' trade associations issued bread-specific vouchers — bons pour pain — throughout the mid-twentieth century as a rationing and cooperative accounting tool, particularly during and after periods of wartime supply restriction. This example, denominated in a single baguette rather than any monetary unit, was a purely local instrument redeemable only within the participating bakeries of Tarn-et-Garonne, a predominantly agricultural département in the Occitanie region. The flûte, slightly shorter and lighter than a standard baguette, was its own rationed unit.
These ephemeral pieces rarely survived use — they were exchanged across counters and discarded.
