Based on these pictures I think Jack is probably right in his assumption that you have a very early French-made instrument. The lack of an adjusting screw on the throat G# key suggests this instrument was made during the 1930's or earlier. There is a photo of an early Malerne-made E&S with no G# adjusting screw on Steve Sklars's site. The keywork on it is a little different than what is shown in the pictures you posted so my guess is that you have an early Buffet-made instrument.
As I said before, when new this instrument would have filled the same market segment that the E-11 does today. (This should not be interpreted to mean that it will play as well as a modern E-11.)
