| Additional information |
Otto Perutz Trockenplattenfabrik was a Munich-based manufacturer of photographic dry plates, founded in 1886 and eventually absorbed into Agfa in 1964. Like many German industrial firms in the early twentieth century, the company issued its own canteen or works tokens — small-denomination zinc pieces used internally for factory cafeterias or vending. The use of zinc rather than brass or aluminium often indicates wartime or immediate postwar production, when copper alloys were restricted or requisitioned.
