Collector's Guide to Model Tin Figures
The Europeans have had a love affair with the model figure, represented as a flat tin casting (zinnfiguren) ever since the Middle Ages. The historical development of flat miniatures as religious objects, then later as toys and eventually as collector's items is fully described in this book. The rise of major firms such as Heinrichsen, Ochel, Neckel and Scholz, and the emergence of great artistic engravers such as Ludwig Frank and Frank Mohr, have ensured a continuous supply of varied figures to satiate the inexhaustible demand for these miniaturesKeywords: COLLECTIBLES TOYS
