Original German WWII Era Lineol & Elastolin Toy Soldiers with Artillery Piece - Lot of 9 - Machine Gunner 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 8 Lineol and Elastolin toys from the pre-WWII period, with a large artillery piece. Some are in rough shape with paint loss and breakage of certain pieces.

There are 8 soldiers, all marked either Elastolin or Lineol or are not marked. The artillery piece is marked HAUSSER and has some condition issues. The set consists of:
- Soldier laying down on Maxim MG.
- Soldier laying down with Maxim ammunition belt, meant to go with gunner.
- Soldier with bayonet fixed on rifle
- Soldier on one knee preparing to throw grenade.
- Soldier lying down with rifle over back.
- Soldier lying down aiming rifle.
- Soldier standing aiming rifle.
- Soldier running aiming pistol.

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!
