Composition models: Great way to start the year!

I found a few realy nice older animals last month

Here they are;

A pretty big, unmarked crokoduile (about the same size as the schleich ones)

At first, I thought it was the same as the one I already got, but when I put them together, I saw that there was some differences

A realy nice, unmarked turtle (even thou I dont realy like the coloring of the shell

A cute little monkey with baby (this one is also unmarked)

And lastly, my favorite. A gorgeous leopard

I thought it was a lighter version of the lineol black panther, but it turned out it wasnt!
As you can see, there are some differences. The leopard is a bit smaler, and the tail is different.
And while the panther is marked "germany", the leopard is only marked with a very faint "N.F." or something like that. Does anybody recognise that marking?

Wonderful oldies!!!Congratulations again!!!

Thanx Andreas

Some lovely new animals there, Arrakai, congratulations!

The Giant Tortoise and the Ape with baby are Elastolin composition animals in 1950's factory paint. Hausser decided to jazz up the paint on the Tortoise's shell (and on some of the other "dull coloured" animals) in the hope of selling more of them.

We started a topic about a mystery Wisent of ours last year, which we found later to be marked NF. It turned out to be made by Neo Form and there is a lot of information about this in the replies to the topic - link here -

Well Harriet, you could ask your parents why they named you after a tortoise.... the tortoise was here first....

Sue is right, the name of the tortoise changed in 60's when they figured that Harry was a female! The Princess Harriet was born much later!

Fantastic new catches again Anna!
I actually love the tortoise, i like the vintage way of painting.

Yeah Harriet, whats in a name, better this comparing, then in my name, lets not even get started about that, haha...
