Here we have a boys smock offered by Au Bon Marche in 1940. The ad copy reads, "TABLIER très beau Vichy écru grand teint, col bleu ou rouge. 0m45 ... 22 Francs plus 1Franc par 0m05 jusqu'à 0m75" This would translate as "SMOCK very nice Vichy unbleached colorfast material, blue or red collar. Length : 0.45 meter = 22 Francs added 1 franc by 5 cm untill 0.75 meter." That would be ages 2/3-? years.
