Tipp & Co - Tank 208 (100 schuss panzer)
This tin, lithographed, windup 100 round tank/100 schuss panzer was manufactured from 1938 to 1942 by Tippco Toys Company (Tipp & Co., TCO) of Nuremberg, Germany. It represents the PzKw I German tank.
When wound with a key this working example travels forward as the hammer inside the tank strikes where the amorces would go. You would put a 100 round cap strip in this, wind it up and watch it go.
Tippco was the third well-known manufacturer, after Lineol and Hausser, to produce a PzKw I model. This one, however, is a bit too big for the 7.5 cm soldiers in terms of scale. However, it is an elaborately crafted model. A strong clockwork motor provides the necessary drive and the operation of the amorces firing of the MGs. Unfortunately the turret is rigidly mounted on the chassis so that it is not possible to aim at targets.

Elastolin and Lineol Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD) composition soldiers.
Elastolin and Lineol produced the Reich Labour Service( Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD)) composition soldiers in 30s.
There are some quite rare figures that are very difficult to find these days. One of the rarest ones is the Lineol RAD soldier standing at attention with a spade (6/69). The Elastolin RAD flag bearer, with the RAD Abteilungsfahne, is also quite rare.
