I tied google with only the word "Couesnon" and came up with this:

http://www.dallasmusic.org/gearhead/Couesnon%3F.html

There it is reported that a fire in 1969 "resulted in loss of all the 
company records, including those which would make it possible to 
determine the year of manufacture from the serial number."
