Hi, all,
Sometimes there are figueres for sale on Ebay, called "caro".
They look a little like Schleich Classics", here is one :

Can anybody tell me, what they are ????

I won one of them too last weeks, a cow.
I think they are Schleich Classics, but given away with Caro Coffee products in that particular time, as promotional products.
Maybe Torben knows more about them...

Thank you Willy
Caro Coffee, that must be a german brand?
So they are a sort of classocs ?
I put a bid on one once, and was surprised how expensive it was



PS Thanks for this first and only ansver. I was beginning to think it was a Super-stupid question
PPS I miss your little westie waggin the tail
PPPS The cheeta is nice, too
PPPPS I don`t miss the fuzzing elefant - avatar

Yes, it was a kind of surrogate coffee from Germany.
I have to see mine first, before i answer you, if they are real Schleich ClassOcs or not...
Mine was not cheap either, around the 10 euro mark or so...

Ps, the westie is in his basket...
The cheetah is actually a tiger,
And the elephant said hi to you, and was asking if he could fuzz around in your house...

I see your elephant loves to "read" the newspaper Susanne.

I'll bet she had a little help from her friends! I think there is a song about that by some o-o-o-o-o-ld group, the cockroaches, or the spiders, the flies, some name like that....

Yes; I always hope to read it first
Worse, - you see the arm of the rocking chair ? That one was designed by the famous architect Wegner, - my grandmother gave it to me, - almost all my furniture looks like that after a life with puppies an kitties, - but never mind, I LOVE my critters

Yes.. Is a intelectual elephant

I LOVE your dog!!! is it a Saluki or Borzoi? I'm not very good with breeds.

It is a saluki Nova.
But you should re-educate your pets again, this doesn't have to happen...
How bad for your furniture!

Yes, she is a Saluki
I have always had whippets, but said to myself that "some day" I would have a saluki.
So this summer baby-Fidda came here
She is now 6 months old.

Willy, - re-educate
But they are Mommys Little Darlings

Yes Susanne, i understand about "Mommy's babies" , but they eat furniture like beavers! It doesn't need so much time and attention as you might think to re-educate your dogs, specially not with younger ones...
Look at the programms from the dog-whisperer on Aniaml Planet and National Geographic...

I saw that Susanne had a similar item coming some time ago, and i have one too now...
It is exactly similar to the 12215 Schleich Classics Cow, this time in brown.
This one is marked with "Caro", which is a brand of German coffee.
How it looks, and as it seems, this could be made by Schleich, but for Caro this time, probably somewhere between the 1980's and 1990's.
Here it is:

Hi, Willy

I like your latest Avatar, he is cute

The cow is not quite similar, the tail is at the other side as far as I remember
I have had to pack a lot away to make room for christmas-stuff , so I have to rely on my old, tired head

Yes, you are right Susanne!
But the Schleich model was for sure the example for it...

Such a cute cow congrats Willy.

I just got two Schleich(?) Caro animals: horse and pig. Can any of you tell something about these mysterious animals?

I'm not sure, is Schleich the factory which has made them, but I think so. I bought them to eBay and I have seen Caro-animals few times earlier and there read always Schleich. I have seen horse, pig, cow and one more, maybe it was sheep...

I know that Caro is coffee mark and someone said, these animals have sold with coffeepacket in 1960-1970. What do you think about that? Any information is welcome!

There is some photos. As you can see, they size is same than Classics. Under the figures read only Caro.

Your informations are all right.

They were Schleich, just sold along with coffee.

They are just great, congratulations

I am glad you brought this up, - I had completely forgotten them, and they are SO nice.

Nice additions !!

Congratulation, nice animals!!!
