The James Gillespie Estate Soldiers & Cast Iron Toys Auction
A Lineol/Elastolin political rally grouping includes a wooden speaker’s tribune diorama, related architectural pieces, period ephemera, and three political figures. The light gray tribune measures approximately 13" W x 6.75" D x 9.25" H and features double flanking staircases, swastika insignia motifs, and a wooden rear framework supporting three vertical swastika banners topped with metal eagle finials. Also included is a matching column pillar topped with a metallic Reichsadler eagle emblem measuring approximately 9.75" H, along with an original Heinrich Hoffmann real-photo postcard documenting the "Tag der Deutschen Kunst" foundation stone ceremony in Munich. The three figures include an Elastolin standard bearer holding a Deutschland Erwache-style flag, a Lineol SA or party official shown mid-salute with his cap removed, and a modern King & Country lead figure representing a saluting Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler officer with a marshal’s baton. The King & Country figure measures approximately 7 cm H, while the two composition figures measure approximately 7.5 cm H. The saluting figure is in good condition. The flags will be removed for shipping.
