Danish made non-animal vintage models

Even if I try to resist, there are some non-animal models that sneak into my collection ;-)
Well, - I suppose "Non-animal" means the ones where the animal is not the focus ?

Here are some of my old Reisler models. I have some soldiers too, and will show them later.

This humble little guy is probably THE most rare Reisler model I own. He is also the only model that brings seriously high prices on auctions.
The model was made for the museum called Frihedsmuseet, and was only sold there,  in very little quantities .

A wild, Danish cowboy. I think the saddle is meant for another model, - but never mind

Beautyful mounted Canadian guard

I had some mexicans, but they moved over to live with Dave, - perhaps he will show them here ?

Paradoxally, all figures we see here are animals, from humans, horses, camels, falcon... though, they don't belong to animal oriented collections so they're in the right place, I guess.
I hope you're not entering the soldiers world or you'll need a whole military base to store them.
Soldiers is a fever allover the world, they are much more popular among grown up collectors than toy animal figures and some of them are incredibly pricey!
They are a kind of book of World History in toy shape.
I love specially camel riders!

Don't worry Susanne, I'll post photos of all my Reisler soldiers etc. over the coming days.

I know , - but as you say, the focus is not on the animals

Arrrh ! These toy soldiers.
I mailed with THE collector of Neo-Form, and he has begun to collect toy soldiers from before 1925

The rest of my few non-animal Reislers don't have animals (       ) , - except for a single pigeon
This collection is very far from complete

These are called "Red-and-blue" models...I am no expert in flags, I wonder what nationality ? African perhaps ?
Great to see some red cross ladies

Sweedish soldiers ...Reisler sold more in Sweden than in Denmark

 Perhaps you can fill in the many huge holes that my collection leaves ?

PS .....just to make sure : I think it would be a great Idea if you enter them here ...if you want to, of course
With intent I did not write "Susanne's non....etc "  .

I can fill some gaps, but can't compete with your excellent collection of the quite rare red-and-blue (African communist?) army.

I don't understand anything about militar uniforms but the flag, if it is red on top and white at the bottom as we can see from that angle, it is the flag of Indonesia since 1947. If these figures are older, this theory is wrong!

Roger, you are a genious

According to Tonni Hansen ( TOHAN ), the red/blue soldiers are from 1953

My last Danish vintage non-animal models are composition models made by Danolin  , also round the mid of the 20th century  

A young Danish sergeant with his extremely unruly flock of beginners

The paintwork varies quite a lot, but they are made by Danolin

I was delighted when I got this set , - unfortunately I tried to brysh some of the dust off with a sof brush, but quite a lot of paint fell off as well    
Still, - aren't they great ?

Ohhh! All those royal guards , - and the Tivoli Kid's guard too, - I have never even seen them before

Thankyou for sharing

Very interesting

Lovely figures from both of you...that museum figure is very special Suzanne!

Wowwww...Susanne, you have so mny and so interesting non-animal vintage models...
And also very nice collection from DaveScriv

I realy enjoyed, watching them :)

Two very nice collections.

I think after seeing all these figures, I am still strong enough to fight against collecting soldiers.

Great, there's still some hope that I am right. I hope I'm not sending these men to the wrong war.

Officers seem to enjoy that sort of thing, as do some volunteers, but for the poor bloody conscripts, every war is the wrong war.
