| A couple of weeks ago I won 7 nice composition models on the Danish net-auction "QXL". The seller wrote they were Lineols, but only the seal has the LINEOL-mark. Can anybody tell me something about them, perhaps ? I didn`t pay much for them, so I am happy no matter what brand:D But as time went by, and my payment must have received the apyment long ago, I began getting nervous, - was there a good reason why nobody else had been interested ? But this morning they arrived, securely packed and with a nice greeting and excuses for the late shipment To-daaa ! My tiny collection of composition models more than doubled Westie shows the size [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The lovely, little seal is clearly marked LINEOL [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Polar bear and her cub ! They have no marks at all : [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]My other polar bear, he looks like he is made from plaster, or perhaps he is a composition-moldel ?

| Ha, they are very beautiful and in great condition! Lucky you that found them for a good price! ![Very Happy](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_biggrin.png) I'll let it to experts but hippo is clearly a Lineol to me and I am almost sure about the polar bear adulte. Though, I can be easily wrong here because I am not enough knowledgeable about them. ![Very Happy](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_biggrin.png) Whatever they are, they're fantastic! ![cheers](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_cheers.png) |

| Very nice models, I did some research and apparently the Lineol models were based on real animals at Berlin Zoo. This probably explains why these old models are so accurate and well proportioned.
Your hippo is modeled after "Knautschke" born 1943-1988 at Berlin.

| THANKYOU, dear ladies Praise from you make me even like them more Do you know how old they are, - I suppose "late" is relative, when it comes to LINEOL ? |

| For sure younger than 1938, before that time non of these models were in Lineol catalog _________________ Robert

| "Late" in the sense "after the last big war and just before the end of composition-production". You will find them all in the 1958 catalogue.

Yes, Susanne, we and the animals are all becoming antiques together!
Some Lineol animals are marked LINEOL, some are marked GERMANY, and many of them are not marked at all. If you are unsure about a composition beast, just ask us!

By the way, if your other Polar Bear is made of plaster, he looks like a cast from Hausser's Elastolin Polar Bear. Your fine Arabian Camel is Hausser's Elastolin ..... most of the old sculptors were good at camels because they had made them for Nativity sets before they were asked to make zoo animals...
