Original German WWII Era Lineol & Elastolin Toy Soldiers with Artillery Piece - Lot of 13 - Machine Gunners and Soldiers

Original Item: Only One Available. During the 1930s, various companies in Germany such as Elastolin, Lineol, Marklin, Tippco and Wiking began to make numerous toy soldiers from painted "composite" materials, and later on from plastic. They mostly made German soldiers, but they did also produce soldiers from other countries, so that more complete battle scenes would be created. They were also generally available from each maker in several different sizes.

This is a great set of 13 Lineol Elastolin etc. toys from the pre-WWII period, with an artillery piece. Some are in rough shape with paint loss and breakage of certain pieces.

There are 11 soldiers, all marked either Elastolin or Lineol or are not marked. The artillery piece is unmarked but is likely by Hausser and has some condition issues. The set consists of:
- Soldier laying down on MG34/42.
- Soldier on horseback, soldier is removable.
- Soldier crouched and aiming rifle.
- 4 Soldiers walking with rifles in their arms.
- One soldier walking with sword.
- Two soldiers feeding ammunition belt for use with machine gunners.
- Soldier sitting on Maxim MG.
- Artillery piece with pull-back and release to “fire”.
- Unrelated artillery ammunition cart.

The figures are all in good condition, with deformation but nothing terribly serious. A really fantastic composition figure set from the interwar period, ready to add to your collection!
