production number unknown
marked on the toy with “L’epervier” – “VB&Cie Paris” and “Made in
France”

I found this name on an original 1933 bill from Victor Bonnet.
The last item on this bill is mentioned there: Epervier
After some research I found out that it is a kind of flying saucer toy.
After squeezing the mechanism, a circular type propeller flies into the air while rotating.
This model is presumably made untill the end of 1933 at the location Boulevard de Menilmontant Paris (the old Fernand Martin factory) After the relocation in 1934 to the 8. Rue des Tourelles Paris, another model has been produced, this one get the production number 20, the name: Lance-Hélice à crémaillère and was marked with: UNIS VÉBÉ FRANCE
The mechanism works on the principle of the system “Crémaillère”
