Georges Carette (1861-1954) moved from France to Germany in the late C19th, and founded his company Georges Carette & Cie. in the toymaking region of Nuremberg.
Originally manufacturing tinplate toys, Carette graduated to also producing steam-powered models in the early C20th (see: Carette Stirling Single).
The "Carette" name is probably best known in the UK for the gauge 0 coaches that Carette made for Bassett-Lowke.
