| What a wonderful find You are right, - actually it was more the rule than the exeption that the composition models were stamped with brand. This makes collection fun or irritating dependant on your temparement He has the same pose and holds his tail like the very old elastolin tiger HERE at the bottom right, but the head is different, I think _________________ SUSANNE |

| That's a really great find! ABout cleaning, I don't know how you can do it but I know from Lesley, that you should not use soap or water. Water is absolutely forbidden once these figures are made of an organic material. So, if it is the 1930 tiger growling as Susanne suggested, I think the best is to keep it with 87 years of dust. Susanne pointed it correctly, it is hard to tell the authencity of a non marked composition figure but the model is clearly inspired in that Elastolin figure. It may be the original or just one of many copies, I think only an expert can tell it. However, it is a wonderful figure! |

| Thanks everyone! I will leave him be then. He doesn't feel dirty, just looks dark- where there are chips the color is brighter. If he's 87, he's earned a little fading and cracking. Wonder how he ended up in a junk shop in the Florida Keys? The stories he could tell! |

| Susanne and Roger you are right, it is definitely a tiger by Elastolin Hausser before 1930 in the brown version. And no contact with water please! Roger has explained all very fine. _________________ Yvette

| Gosh !! Imagine if you had sold him to somebody who washed him....or had given him to some child to play with Or somebody who had repainted him, or somebody who ... no end to the nightmare dangers out there for such an old, wonderful model that just shows his age a bit. _________________ SUSANNE |
