Title: Krog / Gottstein Zinnfiguren
Post by: marko on March 24, 2015, 09:17:59 PM
Another vendor now out of business, Krog was one of my all time favorites with a number of the classic Gottstein sets and figures such as Henry VIII, Staff of Louis XIV and Elizabeth at Tillbury and the incomparable elephants of the Punic Wars.

Moulds were purchased by Leipzig Association who hopefully will make the figures available once more.

Hi marco and for all who are interested.
The Gottstein forms have been restored and are available for cast casting for disposal.
Can you adjust to the fact that the complete range of figures standing on the Kulmbach stock market this year for disposal.
Whether the beautiful figures are sold in complete series or in individual items, I can not answer unfortunately.
So in Kulmbach the world of figures is reflected in the solder. :) :) :) :)

If only I had invested more wisely I could have been the envy of my flat friends....


A shame to break them up but, hopefully some sets will be back in circulation as a result.

I read somewhere that the Murten moulds had gone to a Museum.
Have the Leipziger the Murten sets too?

The Murten moulds were sold to "Schweizerische Nationalmuseum Zürich, Museumstrasse 2, 8021 Zürich, www.museumsshop.ch".
They would produce some figures for this shop; I don´t know when ???
Ask Jürg Burlet juerg.burlet@snm.admin.ch ; he is the flat administrator of the museum.
The Kollbrunner diorama Murten with 6000 flats is there, too.

I have just added a gallery and put in an image of the Gottstein dinosaurs. They are pretty old-fashioned now as the way in which dinosaurs are viewed has changed radically over the years, but fun to paint.

I exchanged eMails just in the recent days with Mr. Burlet.
He comfirmed that the museum really owns about 70 Gottstein figures mould from the Burgundian times, but at present they do not sell figures.
Other way he proved to be a nice person, answered my eMail on the very next day.

Resurrecting an old Thread .......
Marko:   you said that Jerry Mortimer has compiled a catalogue (of Gottstein figures).  Is it possible to see this / where to find it?
I've asked ZFL about the moulds they have restored and what they hold / are able to release as figures, but certainly would be interested in seeing any available listings (for Field of Cloth of Gold etc rather than Murten et al, the listings for which I already have thanks to the members here).
Best Regards to all.

The catalog are the old Krog listings which includes all the Gottstein sets other than the Charge of the Light Brigade, I believe.  Just click on the Krog link in the post at the bottom.  Sir Jerry M added some pages to this, I don’t believe he has any other listing.

I attach the catalog pages for the Light Brigade, Sumerians, and Zulus. (Light Brigade and Zulus were engraved by Alfred Krunert. The Sumerians by S. Maier the Elder.) I think that's all the Gottstein figures.

Thanks. I think the site would be better if it had a separate "gallery" for old catalogs. What is the opinion of other members?

What is wrong with the existing catalogue category, aside fro the fact, that i always forget how to get there ?

Catalogs for current vendors that wish to display their wares here are a menu option at the top of your screen titled Vendor Catalogs - it is right next to BFFS Journal on the upper menu.

For vendors no longer in business they are in the History section such as Gottstein/Krog is in this case.  The now complete catalog link is in the very first post:


Krog (http://intflatfigures.org/BFFS/History/Krog/index.html)

I have only added catalogs in cases where I am sure the vendor is no longer in business.
