Very nice Arnold!

Are these figures from the same region in Germany where the Noah’s Ark play sets were made?

Charlie, I do not know where Noah's Ark sets were made - the production of my figures
ended ca. 1960. I have this information about "Eresthi wooden toys"

SOMETHING ABOUT THE PRODUCTION/HISTORY!
THESE FIGURES ARE CALLED ROSSWEINER
WOODEN FIGURES THEY WERE MADE IN THE
THE CITY OF ROSSWEIN Germany SINCE 1907
IN THE THIRTIES THE
COMPANY WAS TAKEN OVER BY ALFRED BERTHOLD AND GEORG
ZÖLLNER AND AFTER THE
WORLD WAR 2 IN 1945 THE COMPANY WAS
NATIONALIZED (German Democratic Republic)
(VEB FAMOS LEIPZIG) WHERE THEY REMAINED UNTIL EARLY
1960

Have a nice day, Arnold
