Anyway, are "P.B." the initials of the boss of the "factory", or the brain behind the car ?

Not well known obviously, otherwise this puzzle would have been long solved  ;)

He also made this:

Think I've got it...

The scooter is a Mors Speed, the brain behind is Pierre Brissonnet !
I guess there was a connection with Paul Vallée, maybe Mr. Brissonnet has worked on both projects, the P.B. and the Chanteclerc !

Mors scooters were produced in a factory of Sens. And yes, it was the same Mors famous for his luxury cars until 1925...

Much, much later, the Mors brand was even used as "MTM" (Mors Transmissions Mécaniques) for a transaxle and a rack and pinion steering used on many voiturettes in the eighties, previously known as "Renondin-Losson"...

PB. are those initials of the builders name?

Thank you !  ;)

But I think its real "commercial" name was really the "P.B.", that's the one I have in the rare documents talking about this car...

Guido, just one question : where did you find these pictures ? In fact, I've never seen them before !
You can answer in MP if you want.

Brissonnet sold all of his own products, as far as I know, under the Speed brand.

By the way, this was not his venture in car manufacturing...
