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
You may google - rossweiner holzspielfiguren - Pictures for more information
Have a nice day, Arnold
Thank you Arnold!

Yes they look very similar - but I guess yours are made from sheet metal
or zin - zinc. But they are also hand painted and possible older than mine.
Anyway very beautiful and decorative, Arnold

I don't know, that one guy looks like he's having way to much fun with that trunk.

They are a good match with the windmills, especially the people 8)

Those are very nice, Arnold. They seem similar to some of the two-dimensional figures I have on my layout. Mine are perhaps Spenkuch grotesque figures but I'm not sure? I like to display figures with my steam engines. I tried to post photos of my figures but i keep getting an error: The upload folder is full. Please try a smaller file and/or contact an administrator.

This is my newest acquisition -
Wooden figures 2 dimensional from the Erzgebirge East Germany. These are from the 1950s and are all handmade. I find they fit very well to decorate steam engines drive models such as windmills and hammer mills. They are a kind of primitive folk art that's what make them sympathetic...
Arnold ;)
