@JACKnCHIPS Yes that is correct it says "MADE IN FRANCE" in bold lettering on the bottom of his foot (when Michelin made all of their promotional products in France (60's). I will upload a picture shortly.
Any Michelin Stampings on this, or makers and date. They usually have something like that on them.
