Title: Something different
Post by: errant49 on October 26, 2017, 07:58:15 AM
Hi all


As you know I am not only a painter but also a collector of old flats
I recently bought some charming little diorama made with Heinrichsen figures
They were probably made just after WWII

Dear Eric,


very nice ! Never seen before. But I would estimate them to be after WW I i.e. around 1920. I would ask Mrs. Grobe about them if you want me to (?)


Best regards

Hi Alexander


Of course I would like to know more about these diorama
They come from the Edmond Lelong shop storage
Edmond Lelong was the french retailer for Heinrichsen before and after WWII but I do not precisely know when he started and finished


Regards


Eric

Hello Eric

Congratulations for your purchase. But take care : as these dioramas are very attractive, your greatchildren might play with them.
