SOME HISTORY: The use of "J.P./L. France" factory mark indicates that the piece was made in 1890-1902. In 1911 Pouyat factory merged with Guerin et Cie, creating "Anciens Etablissements J. Pouyat, Willian Guerin, et Cie", and in 1920 the company was taken over by Bawo & Dotter Ltd, creating Guerin, Pouyat, Elite Ltd. Unfortunately, when the factory was closed in 1932, the archives and thousands of models were destroyed. See less
