Hausser German War Motorcycle *SOLD*

Hausser German War Motorcycle

We are offering a beautiful wartime Hausser motorcycle with German Soldiers ca 1935.  The set has a tin lithography (part) motorcycle with mixed materials.  Soldiers are the Elastolin composite figures and condition is original.

Note the BMW motorcycle symbols.

This iteration of a sidecar and motorcycle intrigues us, as it has a race style sidecar.  It has a well molded in figure, an officer, and no machine gun.  The delicate windshield is still present.

The set is original with aging.

We see these as difficult to find and extremely desirable.

A brief history of Elastolin-Hausser/O. & M. Hausser of Ludwigsburg, Germany:

1904 – 1983

Founder: Otto and Max Hausser

Specialty: Dolls, toys, and military miniatures of composition sawdust and glue, made under the name “Elastolin”.  The company also made still banks from 1929-1939.

The Hausser family and company began in 1904 by two brothers Otto and Max in Ludwigsburg, near Stuttgart (Southern Germany).  They began trading dolls and toys as well as manufacturing dolls under the Muller & Freyer name.  About 1912 they began making figures 10-14 cm and later 7 cm sizes.  Around this time they began marketing their composition figures under the “Elastolin” line.  Vehicles often received the official family namesake “Hausser” toys.
