Is this the Kindler of Kindler
und Briel (Kibri) the
European model railway accessory company, there is a lot of railway stuff in
the above shot (albeit O-gauge rather than Kibri's
later HO and N) of the pre-war stock? I used to think not, now I'm sure he is.
Not many US factories were 'burned in war' except by accident, but a
German one almost certainly would have been, maybe he's visiting the New York
Toy Fair, or drumming-up some press-coverage at the 200 5th AvenueToy Building;
the German outfit began their journey through toys in 1895.
I'd kill for one of these lorries,
obviously and only if I was 100% sure of getting away with the er . . . mercy
killing (well . . . if they'd lost their truck!); there'd be no point in
obtaining the wagon and then going to gaol! Looking at them, they are Mercedes
trucks with an Allied star huh? I think this is Kibri's Mr Kindler?
I can't work out if their wheels are on the
forecourt's surface, or if they are attached to some mechanism that maybe moves
them round to each-other's place? Has anyone ever seen one of these, at auction
maybe, or on feebleBay? And what happened to Mr.Kindler, when did he meet Mr
Briel?
