Who collects Lineol and Hausser Tinplate Artillery and Armor? I have some Marklin Artillery with cast brass barrels and cast iron mounts.

Hi Katana,

Only one piece of artillery - a field gun - even saw it in a catalogue Mirof posted on the subject sometime ago, it belonged to my grad dad.....not part of my standing colletion, just keep it for sentimental reasons.:salute:::salute::
They were masterpieces of their time.....but given that I do not collect " pre 1960´s style sets " for they do not carry all the scale accuracies I like to see in pieces, although as I said, I recognize their craftsmanship for the time they were made.....a boy like my grad dad must have cherished his set as the Holy Grail.....not to mention that they were very expensive and not everyone would be able to collect several sets I presume....
Cheers
Luiz

Luiz; the Marklin, Geicha, Lineiol, Bub and Hausser were the best of the prewar toy artillery pieces and vehicles. The scale was typically 70mm or 1/25. Marklin made some diecast 1/45 scale pieces to go with their O gauge model trains. Most were Tinplate Toys, only Marklin and Lineol made solid cast iron and machined brass pieces with elevation and azimuth adjustment gears. Most had firing mechanisms that would detonate a cap and propel a shell some distance; some models even had explosive shells that would explode on impact.

I recently purchased a very comprehensive book on Marklin Cannon from German Amazon; if you post a photo of your cannon I can provide the model number and when it was made. The brass barrel cannon usually have the Marklin Coat of Arms stamped into tha barrel near the breach. I agree they are expensive. I consider them to be functional sculpture. Decent examples turn up on Ebay at reasonable prices.

I picked up two metalshed models today for my son Alec (who already has 2), one by purchase, one by trade. Photos of both to follow when I get home.

Joe Remson had some great Metalshed stuff at the Hackensack show this morning, perhaps the best of which was a Condor Legion Heinkel HE111. Joe wanted to trade for a duplicate CJB Military Model, instead of letting me pay for an Armored Car my son Alec picked out, so I agreed, and purchased my son a second Armored Car. Here are some photos of my son Alec's new Royal Navy Air Service Rolls Royce and Talbot Armored Cars:

Just thought I would pull this thread up and post a photo of my son's big Christmas present from a few months ago: a magnificent Metalshed Hanley Paige WWI Bomber with folding wings, tractor, air and ground crew:
