The gem of the month: the LINEOL yak!

A few weeks ago, I found an old Yak. I think it´s the most beautiful yak I have ever seen It looks pretty old, but to my suprise it´s in almost perfect shape. Not a single crack, not even the horns are damaged

I don´t know if it´s lineol, elastolin or some other older brand, ´cus it only says "germany" under it.

But that don´t matter, because I love it, and it is definetly the biggest treasure I´ve found this month

Here´s the pics;

Is´nt he gorgeous

Congrats, he is very nice!!!

Congratulation !
It is a Lineol Anna. It was made in Germany from 1940 to 1960. And you are right, it's a fantastic gem... Still the king of the yak models IMHO

Thanx for the awnser on the brand

Funny, if you look at the two pics, our yaks has some diferenses, like the legs for example. Doesnt they look longer on my yak

weird But I guess like new animals, old ones came with variations as well

Thank you sooo much guys

Ana, I found him at a swedish auktion-site.
the starting bid I think was 1euro, but in the end I had to pay 10,5 euro (plus shipping). But it was totaly worth it

You are lucky! I guess it isn't much for Lineol. Especially in perfect condition

It is a very very fair price for such a model

Congratulations Anna on your king of the yaks!
And welcome to the club of owners...
It really looks, if Christophes yak, has "cut-off" legs indeed.
Look into it mon ami!

Good figure :)

Philip

Yes, that is the case with many of those old Lineols, even better then todays standards in many cases!
And as the fanatics and older collectors have it all, you may consider it a true gem!

Ah ah , I never noticed that... But you are right Willy

It is now that i saw it the first time too my friend...
It seems, as they had your model re-maked a little bit, so still a model to hunt for...
But they didn't do a bad job, but it is not original as it seems...
Ps... you forgot to put your hyena's on your new website, and the older vintage Britains saber-antelope too...
I have to write it here, as there in no possibilty for comments on your site...

Thanx for the pic of your yak Willy

It looks soo shiny

I´m hoping that sometime in the future, I will have a whole bookshelf full of lineol

(that is, when I finaly become a milionaire)

I'm not a millionnaire but I have a complete display, not only a shelf, with those old composition animals... So, if the virus infected you as Willy, Torben or me, we will see your collection growing in the future

Yes, it is a remaked one but the sculptor gaves it some hooves so it is only a lowleg yack... And I need to hunt a complete one.

I didn't forget the hyenas but they are with the other "Feliformia" and not with the "Caniformia". They are indeed closer to the big cats than to the wild dogs...
You can see them here : http://web.me.com/kikimalou/The_crazy_French_macaque_!/Hyaenidae.html

I will do something for the sable but I also have to show my bats.

About the comments, I am very surprised because I thought you could do. I will do my best to repair this

Like i said before, something to hunt for again, haha.

Ok my friend, i really couldn't find them last time i was there, and i checked all of the predators...

I will follow your new works as always...
