The maker is Jean-Francois Guion (also Guione, Guyon), who registered this mark around 1804/1805, 15 rue Neuve St. Denis (which is now rue Blondel). Arminjon does not list a cancellation date for him, but notes that he is still listed in the Almanach Azur in 1815. He is not listed in the Paris Directory of 1817 or any afterwards. Unfortunately, I can't find any additional information on him.

Ref: Arminjon 1798-1838, no. 1833
