Asking pictures for TAI of Lineol 4th generation Forest Animals

Dear friends,it is time to give our tribute to the vintage companies that gifted us with many emblematic figures and it is time to try to build a good online source for brands like Elastolin, Lineol and many other brands that produced composition figures.
As it is a huge task, it will only possible with the contributions of all and, to sort things, we will split this task in groups.
As Lineol 4th generation figures are the most common in our collection. I'd love to start asking you for pictures of their Forest animals.
Those we already have pictures at Toy Animal Wiki were removed from these 1958 Lineol catalogue pages.
All others are missing, I am positive that I have seen most of them in our mebers' collections.
So, if you can provide individual pictures of these figures, it would be appreciated.
Feel also free to discuss any mistake, suggestion or knowledge you have about these figures.
Composition models are a world much more complex than what it looks at first. Thanks!

Great Roger, many thanks for starting the project so fast!
Meanwhile there are already some fine figures at TAI. Most of these very great photos are probably by Susanne and Christophe, right ? In my collection are some of these forest animals too, but I have also
some other figures which are not there. For example this chamois (Gemse)

Thanks Yvette, the wonderful chamois and fallow deer are now on TAI too. It is good to know that you also own the roe deer family. We will need individual pictures of them but, take all the time you need to. The group shot will be also of use.
Yes, these beautiful pictures are all from Susanne and Christophe, only the howling stag is from my collection... it will need a better picture for sure.

Well done, Roger! This site looks very good.
I send you single photos in the evening.
What´s about turkey, stork, pheasant, peacock ?

That's a good question. Another thing that is not clear in Lineol range are their series. The stork, pheasant, peafowl, swan, in the 1958 catalogue, are together with the Farm animals. So, until a better idea, I will group them there. It can be changed later.
The owl will join this Forest series while the marabou and ostrich will be presented in Wildlife series.

I hope soon we can get more.

I can see that a marmot and a wolf is missing, - could it be these ? They are small compared to most other composition models

Dear Susanne,

Both are Lineol. The marmot is a figure of Lineol latest years. The Wolf is older. I cannot say how oder it is.

Best regards.

Thankyou very much, Tiopesao !!

I am very happy to know that

It is wonderful that Juan Carlos is helping us in this task. I entered then the marmot on TAI.
About the wolf, I can see a similar mould on 1958 catalogue but the wolves on 1938 and 1925 catalogue are completely different. Interesting that this figure was not introduced together into to big wave of new Forest animals in 1938. The wolf of that year, is grouped with other wild animals like elephants, camels, tapir, markhor, etc. It may explain why it was introduced later, probably in 1950 when most of the other wild animals received completely new sculpts.

Roeback / Rehbock

I also have this stug standing 355 (Rothirsch stehend). Hope it´s the stag from 4. Generation.

This is like a dream

Very nice!

A new member of our collector meeting sent me a emai today. He have been looking on the TAI and saw that he have a lot of Lineol that is miss there. He will send me pics for that.
But he have also a lot of work and so he need time :)

Oh, that´s good to hear! Andreas, how many members has your collector meeting ?

Wonderful Yvette! I entered already your red deers. I'd love to enter also the roe deers but I can't see their numbers. I am quite blind, I know. Could anyone help me with the numbers of the roebuck, doe and fawn, please?
Andreas, it is good to know that your friend wants to contribute too. We will continue our work as far as possible and his contributions are very welcome.

Roger, I will try to find out the numbers. They are so small, I also can`t read it. But I got a magnifying glass for watchmakers as gift recently. Maybe this will helps a little bit.

Here they are Roger: Animal names in German, English and the numbers.
