Nazaire Beeusaert (NB) composition navy officers
The production of the composition soldiers of Nazaire Beeusaert (NB) dates from the end of 30s. Every figure was produced manually. The raw material consisted of a composition mixture made from crushed paper and cardboard waste, water, flour glue and chalk. For each type of soldier there was a separate mold in which the mixture was pushed. Through openings in the mold, the figure was reinforced with galvanized iron wire. When the soldier was taken out of the mold, it was still very fragile. After twenty-four hours of drying, the paintwork could begin. The NB figures are collector items. The Nazaire Beeusaert company stopped its production in 1965.

Nazaire Beeusaert composition soldiers
The Belgian toy soldier company Nazaire Beeusaert ("NB") was situated in Deinze, a city located on the Lys River between Ghent and Courtray in the Province of East-Flanders in Belgium. In 1921 a Mr. N. Beeusaert started a factory, producing cardboard toys.
Initially NB produced heavy cardboard toy horses, of all sizes, including "rolling" horses and "rocking" horses.
As their business grew, Nazaire Beeusaert developed and supplied composition toy soldiers starting from the end of 30s. This production was then embossed with "NB" mark on the base, and consisted of military, civilian and animal figures.The "NB" Company continued production of its composition soldiers until 1959.
