Some composition rhinos

(This came out of Willy's response to our "A Tipple-Topple peculiarity" post!)

When you need to tell them apart, a Tipple-Topple animal is usually smaller than the Hausser version. Sometimes, much smaller!

On the left, the two-horned Hausser adult Indian Rhino; on the right, the one-horned Tipple-Topple version. You can see the difference in sculpting styles as well as size.

The 1930's Lineol Indian Rhino (left) is between Hausser and Tipple-Topple for size ... close to the size of the modern Papo African Rhino on the right.

Tipple-Topple replaced their old Rhino mould with a new model ... he is the fat, unhappy-looking creature on the right. (Papo Rhino on the left.)

Two composition African Rhinos; a magnificent Lineol version on the left, and Apel's "fat pig" Rhino on the right.

(You will have noticed that some of the sculptors could not tell  the difference between the Indian and African Rhinoceros!)

Thanks for all these photos Sue and Lesley

speechless!

Thanks for the photos!

I love this topic! Thanks ladies!
Very interesting seeing the Hausser Indian with 2 horns. A kind of hybride.
I can't take my eyes over the Lineol rhino! A really superb replica of a black rhino! Lucky you that have such a wonderful figure! My congratulations! Well, I can cannot complain since I own the Papo black rhino, chocolat eater, that is also a very nice replica.

Thank you for this extra addition to the theme Lesley and Sue!
The difference between the Hausser and Tipple Topple(Pfeiffer) model is obvious!
But i couldn't know, as i only have the Tipple Topple model, which seems to be hollow to, it is very light.

I really like the arch of neck of the Lineol African rhino! I also like the 1930's Indian rhino.

I love more and more this old animals!!! Congratulation!!!

Yeah, i don't think, you can make a black rhino any better than this model...

I am awed by these old models, WOW

Durso, - a Belgian brand , quite new to me, a good day where you learn something new
So I looked at Ebay.be, and found *these*

Isn`t that male lion just fantastic, too ?
And so are the prices

Perhaps Ebay.be is like Danish Ebay, where the prices are just md, no Danes use it. We prefer local net-auktions

The link is interresting Susanne...

But the lions and walrus are not DURSO. The walrus is HAUSSER ELASTOLIN.

The polar bear is also a DURSO

Lineol black rhino! I need one!

Who doesn't Kenny?
The king!
