Watling RT 10ct ebay

[thepennyarcade]

Just noticed a 10ct Watling Rol a Top on ebay
I think when I look really close at the back bonnet you can make out, Fabrique aux Etats Unis
Does anyone else see this?
It does look like a nice original, I wonder what French coin denomination is the same size as a dime

Except for the early machines, this appears on the back bonnet of American coinage Rol-A-Tops. Watling was making machines and shipping to France, Belgium, etc. They must have added this so they could just grab a bonnet and not have separate ones for Europe. Although a late production machine, this is an original dime machine.
