Linde Figurines

Another part of the surprise-box from France was the group of white uncoloured figurines from Linde Germany.
They miss the colour maybe, but they look great in model, size about 1:32.


Bison


Brown Bear standing(in white, strange isn't it?)


Dromedary


Red Deer


Chamois


Lion


Lioness


Penguin


Giant tortoise


Kangaroo


Ibex


Tiger


This Californian Seal is not marked with Linde, but with Titze


The whole lot

They are great Willy. I have never seen them. Congratulations.

Thanks again Amy, i think they are quit rare too, because you don't see them to often...
There is very little to find about these figurines.
I think Linde was a manufacturer of chocolate, and gave these figurines away with the product.
Anyway, the fit well in my vitrine with uncoloured figurines of the 1950's and 1960's...

They're lovely, you had a lot of great models from Kiki!

Yes, i had Harriet!
I am very happy with them of course!
This kind of figurines have a very distinguished smell and vintage feeling over them.

Last week, i had a smaller Linde coffee-figurines come in.
The are made in an un-painted kind of plastic, mostly in off-white or red.
There were given away with Linde coffee in the 1950's untill the early 1970's in Germany
I bought the lot for the animals, although i had already 2 of them, but i like native people too, so the people are staying in the collection too.
They are often named as Karl-May(Winnetou and Old Shatterhand) figurines.
Here they are:


The complete lot


Linde Gryzzly bears, from which i had already one, thanks to Christophe, so now i have...uuuhhh 2 of them, haha.


Linde Lionesses, the same story, although there is some colour-variation in both...


Linde Scottish Collie, this one was new for me.


Linde figurine, which looks like Daniel Boone to me.


Linde Indian standing in red.


Linde Indian standing white.


Linde Indian waving white.


Linde Indian sitting red.


Linde Pioneer/Cowboy kneeling red.

Another great set of figures, I like the pioneers and indians

Thanks Phil!
By the way, i didn't forget you!

Congrats Willy, the Collie is really nice

Thank you Harriet! :)
Yes, i like him too.
When i open this vitrine, in which i display these kind of un-painted figurines from the 1950's-1970's, a certain smell comes out, which remembers me so much of those times...
Brands like these Linde's, Marx USA, Timmee USA, Domplast Germany, Heinerle Germany, Manurba Germany, OMO Washingpowder figurines Holland, Jean Höffler Germany and so on...
Often great models with great deetail only just in one colour, or just slightly painted...
they are the ancestors of all our modern plastic animal-models...

Nice cowboys

Thanks Remowshake!
But i think, they are settlers, as nobody was a cowboy yet in that time...

They are beatifull in the same

Sorry, i said cowboys because i don't know said other word xD

Great Collections!

Thanks guys! :)
Here are my other Linde figurines, besides from the seal, which is from Titze, which is another German coffee-maker from that time..., but Linde had the same model too.


Bison


Dromedary


European Red Deer


Chamois


Lion


Penguin


Giant Tortoise


Kangaroo


Tiger


Alpine Ibex


Seal(Titze)

I wish you could by things like this still. I love the idea of buying coffee or tea and getting an animal with it!

It was very common in the 1950´s/1970´s...
I collected many animal/models in that time this way...

Although the post is working slow and badly the last weeks, i still had some stuff in.
I found this little lot with 4 Linde figurines, which i didn't have yet.
Actually they are quit realistic, although in different scales, and in uncoloured white plastic...
They were given away with Linde coffee in the 1950's and 1960's.




Linde Clown


Linde Peregrine Falcon, which i wanted because my friend Christophe has it too, and that says something about the quality of the model...
I found the pelican too mon ami! (another lot...)


Linde Californian Seal


Titze Californian Seal, which was not in this lot, i had it from Christophe some time ago, it is another chocolate factory, and i show it, just to compare.


Linde African Elephant, in a smaller scale but a good model.

Congratulations Willy, love the elephant and seal!

Congratulations, my friend

I am always happty to see your new figueres, so many rare and interesting ones !

Congratulations Willy!
Your collection grow so quickly, that i stay choke

Congratulations, you have an amazing and enormous collection growing each day!

Muy obligado Philip y muchas gracias SyLoBe, and tak Susanne
Yes, my collection is growing fast, but i am older than most of you, so i have to catch up on time, haha.
and don't forget, that a lot of those brands are not always expensive as Schleichs or other items in that price-range.
I am not talking about my Lineols or other composition models, which can be very expensive sometimes.
I am waiting for the Lineol Saberantelope and Oryx for a long time now, but it seems that the seller takes a hike on me, and i lost his mail adress...

Today i had the Linde pelican coming in as i said before...
It was bigger then i aspected, about 1:20 in scale, but very nice!
