The dark bottom half, however, is by far the better part as it is an advertisement for a company once renowned for the best millstones in the world. The text is almost completely faded away, but still. Most interesting and unique.
A closer look at the Renault layers brings two darker circles to the attention. In my opinion two millstones.
La Ferté was known for the world's best millstones and when modern times took over S.G.M. was the company who survived the longest, until the 1950s.
Our sister site about mills in Aragón runs a page about La Ferté and the company's headquarters are shown in Epernon.
