Vintage bear and lioness Pfeiffer's Tipple-Topple ?

Hi! Today I found some animal figures in antique shop and I bought 2 of them. I like very much shape of the lioness and they both look rather cute for me. They are quite damaged but maybe I will try to repair them both a little. Also I think I probably will come back to this shop for Brazilian tapir which looks nice as well. I wonder if anybody here knows their brand?

In the shop were also other figures: lion male and very funny looking monkey of unknown specie. If anyone i interested in getting them then I can help. All the animals had some damages unfortunately but prices were about new schleich figures so maybe reasonable :)

I don't know the brand, Anna, but they are really nice. I especially like the bear!

Please go get the tapir and post photos! :)

Congrats!

I can say the same words like Kristie!!!

Thank You very much Kristie and Andreas I will come back for the tapir too

They are BEAUTYFUL, Ana

Go get them all

Pfeiffer's Tipple-Topple zoo animals, Ana. We will post some pics here for you as soon as we can. Lesley. Castlerigg.

Thank You Susanne and Sue and Lesley
Wow, You are real experts Sue and Lesley, I felt that You would knew it Thank You very, very much

Susanne, I'm considering buying them all, well maybe except the monkey, as it is quite strange looking

That's exciting! Congratulations!
If the monkey is a guenon like this or a Babboon like this I may be interested!

Ana, Pfeiffer's Tipple-Topple animals are my all-time favourites! How could I not recognise them?!

The picture above shows the biggest boxed set of Tipple-Topple zoo animals produced in 1924. Some of the moulds were replaced, but some were still in use in 1960, including your Lioness.

I would go back for the rest of them ... and who knows, maybe the strange-looking monkey is something special!

Gosh ! That set

Lesley It's wonderful that I had a chance to find something from Your favorite brand, I also think these animals are lovely sculpted and every charming, lioness is very inspiring for me. I hope my previous words didn't sound like an ignorance I'm very happy with my old newcomers This box set which You showed is wonderful, what a great species all in one ox, it's a dream
Do You think i shall repair these animals or it would be better if they stay untouched?

The monkey was something similar to the one above the giraffe from the box :) Is it kind of macaque?
I will buy rest of animals, they are indeed very charming and would be nice to say welcome to them

Roger, the monkey was not like the baboon nor the guenon. It was on four legs like the one above the giraffe. I will take this monkey home and in case someone wants to adopt it then I can send it to new home :)

These are three Tipple-Topple composition Monkeys. The Macaque on the left was based on an engraving of a Barbary Ape which featured in a number of natural history books around 1910.

Hope this helps,

Super finds Anna!! They're wonderful

Yes, it helps a lot Thank You Lesley, great information. It's fascinating to know that it was based on engraving. Fascinating history :)

Congratulation Ana , go for the others

Yes, the others would be good to have unless they are really badly damaged. I really like the Tipple Topple animals. I have just a couple but they are my best composition ones

That's very informative, Sue and Lesley!
I like the monkey anyway!

Thank You so much Kiki, Tim and Roger I came back for others, You can see them in new topic here
