It worked with french State and Museums, and was also an Employer for Sculptors and Carvers

 

Initially established 16, rue des 2 gares (9e), the Firm moved from 37, boulevard de Strasbourg (10e) in 1914

"A." was then for Armand, Son of Former

 

N.B. Noyer was only Wholsaler, and some PCs are bearing a Reseller's Mark (to ID the authorized Dealers)

 

 

/!\ Editor's Note:

 

This Portrait always provokes a one-hundred-year-old lively Argument: is the Photograph depicting Marcel (another WWI Flying Ace, whose second Name was also Maurice !) or Maurice NOGUES

This became cyclic and quite polemical, for exemple as the french Post Office edited a commemorative Stamp or during Wikipedia Editions
