Those are cute little knights! Me and my brother use to have some to play with.
Can you check email or PM box? I keep sending you messages with my address and other shipping details and I'm not receiving any replies. It's about finishing up the trade. I am not sure if there is a glitch or not. Sorry to bring this up into your topic but it's the only way I can reach you so far.

Awesome knights again! I mean really, I've started to like those little toys

Congrats!

Many thanks friends

Hi Andreas please check email.

Very nice figures! Thank you for sharing Andreas I think I had one horse similar to those from your pictures, that was long ago

Thank you Anna:)

Andreas - the three large ones are by PZG (a Polish workshop for the disabled...blind?), the two silver flats will be from Russia or maybe Romania or Bulgaria, they used the same types.

PZG stands for "Polski Związek Głuchych" which means Polish Association for Deaf People

That's strange? Maybe toys specially made for those who can't hear.

   Erm, no. Toys made by people who can't hear, and therefore in Poland back then, probably had couldn't easily get jobs from mainstream employers. So this company was set up to give them jobs.

Nah, rather made by those who can't hear According to this site - http://www.polish_toy_soldiers.republika.pl/stal1.html - in the times of communism, such toys were made by so called "spółdzielnie pracy" (working cooperative? I'm not sure how to translate that...) related with PZG :) Figures marked "PZG were produced before mid 1970s.

Interesting again Magda, thanks again:)

Worker's Cooperative, or; Peoples Factory perhaps?
