The horses by Lineol in my collection - part 2 - update 01.05.20

Lineol has a large number of great horses in its range from around 1906 to 1960. All together there are about 21 horses, foals and one pony. The pony was also available in a second painting variant. So I am happy to have some models in my collection from the III. and IV. generation.

First some pictures from horses of the third generation by Lineol.

They were made between 1932- 1940.

To this generation belongs four models:

The grazing horse (no.300), a standing horse (no.301), a trotting horse (no.302) and in addition a standing foal (no.304). Strangely enough, there is no horse model from this time with the number 303.

Here they are. I am still hunting for the foal from this generation.

Ohhh, Yvette !!! This is cruel

They are SO beautyful, and as far as I can see, they might as well have been made yesterday !

They are at least 80 years old, and we know how easily they get damaged, - this is just FABULOUS

Thankyou for sharing these beautyful photos of some of the most precious models I can imagine

Nice horses

Yvette always bring some very special topics!
I didn't know there were only 4 horses on 3rd generation. They look pristine and your pictures are beautiful with all the presentation around. I know the IV generation horses are absolute masterpieces, I am eager to see them!
Something uninteresting but a strange coincidence. The French car maker Peugeot, released the model 301, 302, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308 and 309. There's a single gap and it is the 303 that was never released. What's weird about tis number?
Oh, I hope you consider showing donkeys too.

This is a wonderful topic Yvette !
And I`m happy , that I got chance to see these beauties, and the Yvette`s great collection on real

Wonderful old models!!

Thanks Susanne, Andreas, Roger, Kosta and Taos for interesting in!

Yes Roger, only four models for 3rd generation. Same for 1st generation (no numbers) and also four models for generation II.

Interesting Roger! What´s weird ?

We have the same for generation II:

The grazing horse (no.300), a standing horse (no.301), a trotting horse (no.302) and in addition a standing foal (no.304). All are made from 1920-1932.

In generation IV Lineol takes the numbers 200 - 204, 207, 208, 210, 211 and 213. All made from 1940-1960.

From 1940 the first models of the new IV. Generation (1940-1960) were launched on the market.

Now a group photo of both generation. For evey horse from III. generation ( Grazing -standing-trotting-foal) Lineol has made a new model in IV. generation. Only the old foal (III.) is still missing on the photos.

But the story goes on. Lineol has made much more horse models for the new IV. generation....

Those are really beautiful horse sculpts, Yvette! Legs are not tubes, muscles sculpted in a very subtle way, ribs,ears with tension, natural poses, they are not just hairy girls with 4 legs. I really love them and the best will come next!
Thanks also for sharing so beautiful pictures and for providing all these numbers, I will use this topic as reference when editing Lineol horses section on TAW.

Really phantastic, to see these old figures.
My favorite are the grazing black horses.
Congratulations.

Many thanks Fernando. It´s not completly black, it´s a very dark brown.

As always Roger has the creagle eye

Yvette, what an absolutely fabulous flock you have there
I don't have words to say how much I love them, and how happy I am that you show us in these beautyful photos

There is on one that I wouldn't love to own, but perhaps the very old, bay, trotting horse with the Roman nose is my favorite

Well, I must not complain, - I have three grazig composition horses,of which one is Marolin, and two I think are Lineol also, and as far as I remember, they are mine thanks to you
