For people adoring playing and collecting toy soldiers (Elastolin, Lineol, Durso, Britains, Marx, Timpo, Starlux and many others). I am presenting images of vintage toy soldiers as a historical curiosity without endorsement of any political ideology and propaganda of war.

Hausser/Elastolin Wooden Military Fort – Model 13492 (c.1935) 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪🏰🏰🏰
A rare and finely crafted example of pre-WWII German toy manufacturing, this wooden military fort is Model 13492 from the Hausser/Elastolin catalog, produced circa 1935. Designed with true-to-life detail, the fort features a square layout with Laufgraben (communication trenches), two tinplate flags, dual watch stands, and a rotating armored dome. It is also equipped with three gun barrels accommodating both kneeling and standing figures. Measuring approximately 36 x 27 x 17 cm, this model exemplifies the realism and craftsmanship typical of Elastolin's 1930s production. Rarely found in such complete condition today, it remains a sought-after piece among collectors of vintage composition soldiers.
