Heyde 2 bear figures sitting under umbrella, vintage German metal figures :
$35.00

This sale is for a vintage hand painted hollowcast metal figure of a pair of bears who are sitting down and holding an umbrella. Each of the bears is about 1.75 inches tall. It is about 2.75 inches tall to the tip of the umbrella. I\'ve seen these Heyde umbrella figures as a pair of dogs, a pair of cats, alligators, and more. It was a popular series for Heyde. In the last picture I show them with a Courtenay executioner who is just under 2.25 inches tall - the executioner is shown for size reference only and is not included in this sale. Heydefigures were made in Germany by Heyde in the late 1800\'s and early 1900\'s. They made a very extensive line of soldiers, civilians, animals, and nippes / nic nacks. I\'m not aware that they ever put their makers mark on a piece, so they are difficult to identify. To help in identification there are at least 3 quite good books that cover them: Old German Toy Soldiers (Roer); Mit Heyde Figuren um die Welt (Heyde figures around the world) by Grein; and most recently Heyde Hunters by Borges and Winckel. Also, if you are fortunate, there are a couple of catalogs that are know, but it is very difficult to get copies of those. Short of finding a specific piece in a book, for identification you need to compare one piece to other known pieces and go from there. Please see my other sales for more vintage toys, and out of print books and price guides about vintage toys.
