August Reader’s Contributions Two Mystery Figure
Markus Figure Finds
Odds and Ends
Congratulations to Ed Borris on the wedding of his daughter.
For those of you who want to see the work of Bill Farmer who did Accurate and other figures. You can go to his website. According to the site he has been doing work for Ford Motors.
I think the figure above is made in Portugal and belong to series set made of ACW .I could wrong as is a guess base in long ago set saw in a web page from brazil.
The Reamsa figure if blue/Grey blue, should be a Belgian Marine(painted as that ) and specially sold in sets of 9 figures in 3 poses under the Box series (EUROPLAY) that were specifically made for Belgium and also sold in Holland and France in late 60s to late 70s.
I will think it would be easy somehow got in to Germany by any traveller or maybe sold by small store in border area with Germany .
Reamsa under comision sold the some of same early(1964/66)Spaniard military sets and foreign armies march band .Just a guess.
Also were sold unpainted international under name series(DECOFIGUR ) with paint , brushes ,11 figures not painted and a 12th pose figure painted as a sample/model.
The HK playset if were x sale i will love buy it .
It is pristine condition .WOW!!!

The orange log house should be included and is same post here found by Dittman before that he wanted know who made then.it was used by many HK sets,evenin farms best
Thanks Erwin for the hint on Reamsa in Belgium. Think the must have been exported to Belgium and France in some numbers as they do turn up there on toy and figure shows much more often than in Germany. Kind of weird but especially Belgium seemed to be a market for almost all European makers in the 60 and 70s. England, France, Germany, Itlay, Spain plus Solido from Belgium itself. Haven’t been to Belgium in my childhood days (my late faather took us only to the Netherlands in that direction for holidays).
Same maybe for France as I was kind of surprised how many Reamsa and Jecsan figures had been out for sale at French figurines show when I went there first in late 90’s .
The Timmee GI is of course marked Made in Germany.
Canon has firing mechanism. Orange log house plus fort are somehow dwarfed by the figures. Closer to about 1:48 to 1:50 scale. Really weird set. Did never see it before.
Lollipop figure probably from Poland. Looks like downscaled Jecsan ACW bugler figure.
“upper left by Dom” ? For me it’s Atlantic.
But may be angle of photo make mistake.
Yes is Atlantic and belong to modern 1960s italian army medical set .Often aas missing pose in many packs but belong to full mold sprue set .
They were sold in blue as blue helmet-UN alongwith medical poses .

You are right I was looking at the Dom and missed the Atlantic figure. My bad
Yes, figure in upper row is Atlantic.
White indian same row could be KOHO.
Second row starts with DOM/MANURBA circus director/lion tamer.
Fire fighter could be made in china. Lying firing DOM/MANURBA again.
No idea on flat figure (I usually don’t collect but just came with the lot).
Markus, please hold flat figure for me 🙂
Firefighter is by Greenbrier International Inc brand made in China original pose.The company release two sets of firefighters .The One set with this pose is now copied or recast sold under LIBERTY IMPORTS in a playset bucket …. .Set has 10 poses .
Another nice FF set made in china is by Fishel brand and other sold under JA-RU.

I really like that white Indian with the pistol and knife. I have never heard of KOHO. Was it a German manufacturer?
Yes, they are from Germany. They made some interesting western figures.
Mark T .Admin have post several work on it here.
You may read some here or just search x KOHO in this blog and will find much more
