Set of 9 small French bills of exchange from 1950s with tax stamps and rubber-stamps.
Note that several bills of exchange have a hole in the lower left corner: these bills of exchange had to be stapled to the corresponding bills and had to be detached more or less cleanly once the customer had paid the expected amount.
