Kikimalou's Indian rhinoceros collection updated June 26 2024

Those are very charming rhinos, each one in their own way

Two hundred years of CBG Mignot, that's amazing! It must be one of the oldest toy manufacturers. From which period is your rhino? Do I understand correctly that this rhino is still made?

Merten also made good-looking animal figures, especially for a railway model company.

Thank you Rogério, Andreas, Anna and Roger

Many of these food brands have since disappeared, the world before had more national boundaries but also a lot more different companies.
I don't know if you can call my way a proactive approach, let's just say I'm curious.

Yes Anna there are so many different ways of being charming!

As far as I know CBG Mignot is the oldest toy manufacturers. I can't tell exactly from which period is the rhino but I think it is from the 1930's and yes it is still made. Look at HERE

Merten made a great 4cm series and fine animal figures indeed. They were very realistic for their time.

Thanks, Mignot still makes quite a few animal figures. I need to find out which ones are 1/32 scale.

TAW says that Mignot started in 1872. Perhaps that needs to be changed?

As I don't collect metal I didn't know CBG Mignot was a so ancien brand and that the brand still survives!

 beautiful models and pictures!

You know, yesterday I visited Zoo Blijdorp again and I saw this sculpture and I thought it would fit in Kikimalou collection
