WWII Occupation German troop transport by Hausser
Similar construction to the wartime toys but with US troops for sale to G.I.'s at the end of WWII. These toys were
hand painted and I can only assume the 'artwork' on the back of the
uniforms is some frau's interpretation of what she saw on U.S. airman's
jackets.
WWII German 88, Factory model? This
heavy and well detailed model of the German 88 if functioning,
unmarked, and all steel. I do not know it's history but it is extremely
well made and I wonder if it is a production model of some type. If
you know anything about it, please email me! It is shown here with some 7cm German toy soldiers for scale.
German composition toys; realism and quality.
Pre-WWI German composition and wood castle "fort". In this display it is defended by 1930's Elastolin knights!

I have
been hooked on toy soldiers since the day a man walked into my shop with
a biscuit tin from his Grandmother that contained a DJ armband, a copy
of Mein Kampf, and a handful of Elastolin toy soldiers. Quite the time capsule!
IIIrd Reich composition 'personality' figures
Child's toys of the era made by Elastolin and Lineol in composition.
Represented
here are various poses of Hitler and his fellows...Goring, Goebbles,
Hess, and foreign leaders Franco and Mussolini. A chilling look into a
child's toybox.

Elastolin, Lineol & more, I've always been fascinated by these fella's!
