My collection of old composition animals by Lineol, Elastolin, Pfeiffer and Tipple Topple

In comparison with pandas by other brands, the panda by Lineol is very small.
Also the white parts are not white, but rather darker. I have made the photos today. They are not good because of the outside bad light.
But it´s all right for seeing the size between the pandas.

Here you see panda by Lineol together with pandas by Schleich and Starlux, which I got as gift from you.

Nice crocodile too :)

The Lineol ostrich is really a nice model, the top at that time.

The Hausser croc is really impressive too, more than his Lineol cousin, I love your pics, the stone basis enhanced a lot the colours of teh model. Thank you Yvette

Beaytyful crocodile ! The paintwork is unusual, I wonder what the spots on the sides are meany to be ?

Christophe is right ! Great pictures, and the stone is very nice there

What elegancy of this ostrich !

Marvellows figure. Congratulations.

I love the ostriches, I have the Lineol version thanks to you.
I am quite impressed with the Hausser crocodile. What a nice figure! It is also very well presented!

Great, old ostriches and crocodile Yvette
The Lineol ostrich, like Fernando said, is very elegant. I like it a lot.
I have the Elastolin one , but needs to be restored one day...

Like the others, I also like very much your photos, especially with the stone.
And actually I like very much this stone
Sometimes, something simple like a stone, can make you impressed.. All these colors on it... and the shape, makes it beautiful :)

Time for some more photos.

Is really one tresure , many old animals ,in very good condition.

The mouflon has beautiful horns.

Peacock, has splendid plumage.

Hind grazing has marvellous pose........they all have their charm.

So many great figurines Those vintage brands are incredibly charming! I especially love the seal (1950), the badgers and the wolf. Incredible! Thanks for sharing, Yvette!!

Very nice models. I like the Antelopes. Some of them are even better than today's Schleich models:D

I just can't stop looking What an incredible collection  
So beautyful, and in such a great shape !!!
Thankyu for sharing all those fine photos

Almost ALL of them are, imho  

It is really pleasant to watch these great pictures of these old masterpieces!

Amazing animals and great photography skills! I'm especially impressed by your array of deer. It's a shame about the fallow deer's condition because I love the beauty of that figure. The seals look fantastic as well.

Wow

Thank you all for your comments.
I agree with you, almost all models are better than many animals by modern brands.

Some cracks and some loss of material is normal after so many years.
This shows how sensitive these figures are. Especially when they where used as children's toys, they where damaged very quickly.

Julie, I have still some double ones from the seals and the badgers which are looking for a new home.

Yes, I think so too - Although many interesting things happen in the background of STS, the current Buddy Oscar goes to
