This stamp is from a library in Chinon, a city in the Loire valley. Chinon is well-known for medieval architecture, including the Château de Chinon, a castle which has been the residence of royalty from both France and England.

This book stamp is from a book looted by the Nazis and sorted by Colonel Seymour Pomrenze, one of “the Monuments Men,” at the Offenbach Archival Depot.

There are two scrapbooks of archival markings from the books sorted at the Offenbach Depot in the Seymour Pomrenze Collection held by the American Jewish Historical Society (Call number P-933) There is a finding aid for the collection here The digitized scrapbooks are available here and here.
