I've just sat here for two hours and not posted anything, as I also couldn't be arsed to this afternoon before I went to work, but here's something from the unsorted folder!
Domage et Cie (
'et Compagnie, like our &Co.,), who would go on to be known as
Aludo, producing aluminium toys, then
Acédo, as a producer of polymer-acetate figures, were first branded D et C, where they could be found making these pastoral subjects, among other things, also in an early plastic, but with more of a recycled polystyrene feel?. Here the shepherd meets his paramour, while the farmer's not around!
Beautifully marked-up on the base, leaving no real doubt as to their lineage! And only about 60-mil, so a nice 54mm without the heavy bases, which have been modelled to resemble turned-wood! 'Unbreakable' it says (in French, and they know what they're talking about, they all speak it!), and to be fair, neither of these has any damage, but both
Domage! And are they replacing earlier wooden or composition figures from the same line?
