The Domplast Manurba Heinerle old W. Germany animals in my zoo

I agree, but when i find this figurine again, i will think about you, as i did this for Christophe to long ago.
These kind of figurines is not everybody's things, as they are not painted, but that was quit normal in the 1950's and early 1960's.
This line of models were quit accurate, and finely sculpted, so for me a must have...

I would like to show them, but collectors quest seems to be out of the air, don't know why, i used it for so many years...

Thank you again, and i dont know it with collectors quest. I have seen there a lot of inspirations

I think that are also Domplast or  a other vintage german brand

Congratulation Andreas They fit perfectly with Britains Susanne

Many thanks friends :)

new antelopes

I like these figures, mainly because they have lots of antelopes! Have you ever found a way to determine what is Heinerle, Dom-Plast or Manurba?

Yes, and they have any more interesting animal figurines. And no, i can not determine that. I see under these names also a few cheap made in China figurines that i know as copies. It is hard.

Most were available as premium figures and it turns everything more difficult. Luckily, we find a series with figures marked in any way so we can group them.

Wahnsinn. Hast du mehr Informationen? Ich suche eher seltenere Tierarten. Ich habe da mal einen Waran gesehen, auch die Schlange könnte interessant sein.

Oh my gosh that tiny lizard!! Love it! Both are neat, that gazelle(?) is really graceful.
