Puzzle Moderne

My first two examples from this uncommon French brand both appear to be from around 1915-1920. This period is calculated through the style and colour of their boxes, which are similar to other boxes from this time, coupled with them being of plywood construction as opposed to the solid wood of most puzzles from before this time.
A logo on the box lids and labels matches that of some examples of games, also from this era, indicating all to have been manufactured in Paris. The star-shaped logo carries the initials T and R. Both puzzles feature similar styles of non-interlocking cut and feature line-cutting and numerous figural shaped pieces, or whimsies.
Please let me know if you can provide any further information or examples. Thank you.
