Original German Pre WWII to WWII Era Children’s Camouflaged Tin Toy Collection with Three Tanks and Two Artillery Pieces - Five Total
In stock
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a lovely lot of German toy lot including three toy tanks and two toy artillery pieces from the Pre-WWII to WWII period, likely made by O&M Haußer from tinplate steel. They made a whole variety of these well made trucks, and three of these examples have a lovely lithograph camouflage paint job, which is mostly well retained.
The lot includes:
- Very large “Big Bertha” style artillery piece in camouflage with a functional wheel to adjust the elevation. This example has a pull-back breech which can be opened with a lever that locks it in place, then simulating firing when pulled. Has a great maker’s tag under the base for KARL BUB of NÜRNBERG. Very rare!
- Pre-WWII lithograph camouflage tank marked A680 and MADE IN GERMANY / FOREIGN, though there is no maker mark. This example has a small lever that once would have activated the tank, but it is now motionless. There is a spot for a wind up key that is now gone.
- Very small toy tank marked GAMA GERMANY along with T56 and DRGM meaning it is a protected design. This tank originally had two chains as the treads, and one is included but no longer attached. It could be put back on with some effort.
- Pre-WWII Artillery piece, crudely made in the style of an older 19th century cannon, with a pull ring that simulates the firing of the cannon. It is quite fragile with many loose pieces.
- Large camouflaged tank with two large rubber treads that are still attached but very loose and cracking. It has the same pull ring style cannon at the top, and there is a spot for a wind up key that is now gone. We are not sure if it would function.
A lovely lot of display toys from the WWII period, ready to display.
