Rare original Elastolin among others Soldiers WWII - (see pictures)
4 x horses
3 x soldiers (riders)
9 x soldiers
rare figures
Elastolin: mass figures were already produced around 1880 in Austria by the Vienna-based company Emil Pfeiffer, which became world-famous due to the “[…] loving and colorful painting” of its figures.[1]
Around 1900 production began in Germany. Similar to tin figures, it covered an enormous range thematically, but primarily represented war toys. Accessories such as vehicles were mostly made of tin; occasionally there were mixed forms, for example tin carriages with crew and horses made of mass. Since other manufacturers usually adhered to the size standards of Hausser, the products were often interchangeable. Because many manufacturers did not only specialize in war toys but also depicted organizations and leadership personnel of the NS regime in their figures, after World War II a revival of production in all Allied-occupied zones of Germany was difficult.
Very beautiful collection of detailed figures. A must for every collector. Condition see pictures
Note: Costs for shipping include packaging, shipping, postage, tracking, and insurance up to €500.
Figures are fragile. Damage may occur during shipping.
