Talbot-Lago, with very skinny tyres!  Was it a kid's car built by Louis Rosier?

Yes it's a children's model of the Talbot Lago Grand Prix car.
It wasn't built by Louis Rosier though....
I'll LOCK it for you until your next answer only.

It resembles Phi-Phi Etancelin's Talbot-Lago 4.5 litr from 1950. It was shown at Rétromobile 2012.

Made by a French children's car manufacturer?

Not by a manufacturer of children's cars - I believe this one was a one off made by a parts manufacturer involved with the French motor industry.

Time for a clue methinks.....

I don't think you will find the name of the company as easily as Cibie, Ferodo, Michelin, etc. They became a leading supplier to the motor industry as a manufacturer of OE (original equipment) items such as steel pressings, hinges, shutters, etc.

The name of the company Ets. ******* was founded in 1909 and the subject of the puzzle was built for a young family member who would later run the company.

Well the well-known supplier of chassis frames, Etablissements Arbel, pre-dates 1909 but may have assumed that name then. The company had a long life, mainly railway-related post-1919, but I can't easily show what automobile work they also did, if any

Yes Allan, there is a connection with Arbel.
The man who founded the company I'm looking for worked for Arbel as the foreman of their presses. He later set up his own successful company specialising in pressed steel fittings, hinges, shutters for the car and office furniture industry.
The company was based at Neuilly-sur-Seine and his surname starts with a 'P'
LOCKED for you to dig out his name....
