Hausser/Elastolin

Hausser/Elastolin

The O&M Hausser company was started in 1904 by the brothers Max and Otto Hausser in Ludwigsburg.
An extraordinarily large collection of figures was made here under the brand name 'Elastolin'. The first figures were mainly animal figures of about 10 -14 cm in size.
The first 7 cm figures did not appear until 1912 and were still simple. These were historical or contemporary figures/soldiers of many nationalities and a relentless stream of animal figures, pets and zoo animals. The figures were formed/pressed around a wire frame from a material consisting mainly of sawdust, linseed and glue (composite) and then painted by hand. After the takeover of the Tipple Topple Company in 1925, all kinds of tin vehicles and cannons were added.
In the 1930s the company moved to Neustadt near Coburg.
Especially after 1936, every part of the German army was depicted. Production lasted until 1943 and was resumed in 1946 and these were mainly non-military series. After the end of World War II, production was subjected to the strict conditions of "de-Nazification."

Already in the early 1940s, his son Rolf Hausser experimented with all kinds of plastic. Hausser continued to use the Elastolin brand name when in 1955 it replaced composite production with figures in series of 7 and 4 cm true-to-life polystyrene figures with very high detailing: Roman soldiers, Huns, Vikings, Normans, Landsknechts and 17th century Turks and more follow the. Hausser-Elastolin made personifications of Prince Valiant and Karl May.
Along with these figures came an impressive new line of catapults, siege towers, a battering ram, camp fences, and early artillery pieces.
In France the series were released by the company Ougen.

Collectors recognize a number of different production series (or types) by the painting and the rarity (and value) of a number of figures also determines the color of their clothing; some colors are rarer than others.

Hausser stopped producing composite figures in 1969. The production of plastic figures lasted until 1982. And the company went bankrupt at the end of 1983. Many of the Hausser molds were bought by the Preiser Company and this produces almost the complete, and here and there even extensive series of 7 cm figures on the market.
The Barthel company also releases the complete range of 4 and 7 cm figures, together with a large expansion of new models.

De firma O&M Hausser werd gestart in 1904 door de broeders Max en Otto Hausser in Ludwigsburg.

Hier werden onder het merknaam ’Elastolin’ een buitengewoon grote collectie figuren gemaakt. De eerste figuren waren hoofdzakelijk dierenfiguren van ca 10 -14 cm groot.

De eerste 7 cm figuren verschenen pas in 1912 en waren nog simpel. Dat waren historische of hedendaagse figuren/soldaatjes met vele nationaliteiten en een niet aflatende stroom dierenfiguren, huisdieren en dierentuindieren. De figuren werden om een draadframe gevormd/geperst van een materiaal dat hoofdzakelijk bestond uit zaagmeel, lijnzaad en lijm (composiet) en daarna met de hand beschilderd. Na de overname van de Firma Tipple Topple in 1925 kwamen er ook allerlei blikken voertuigen en kanonnen bij.

In de jaren ’30 verhuisde het bedrijf naar Neustadt bij Coburg.

Vooral na 1936 werd elk onderdeel van het Duitse leger afgebeeld. De productie duurde tot 1943 en werd in 1946 weer opgepakt en dit waren hoofdzakelijk niet-militaire series. Na het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd de productie onderworpen aan de strenge voorwaarden van "de-nazificering."

Al begin jaren ’40 werd door zoon Rolf Hausser geexperimenteerd met allerlei soorten plastic. Hausser bleef de merknaam Elastolin gebruiken toen het in 1955 de productie van composiet vervangen werd door figuren in series van 7 en 4 cm natuurgetrouwe polystyrene figuren met zeer hoge detaillering: Romeinse soldaten, Hunnen, Vikingen, Noormannen, Landsknechts en 17e-eeuwse Turken en meer volgde. Hausser-Elastolin vervaardigde personificaties van Prins Valiant en Karl May.

Samen met deze figuren kwam een indrukwekkende nieuwe lijn van katapulten, belegeringstorens, een stormram, kamphekken, en vroege artilleriestukken.

In Frankrijk werden de series uitgebracht door de firma Ougen.

Verzamelaars herkennen een aantal verschillende productie-series(of typen) aan de beschildering en de zeldzaamheid (en waarde) van een aantal figuren is ook de kleur van hun kleding bepalend; sommige kleuren zijn zeldzamer dan anderen.

Hausser stopte de productie van composietfiguren in 1969. De productie van plastic figuren duurde tot 1982. En het bedrijf ging failliet eind 1983. Veel van de Hausser mallen werden gekocht door de Preiser Company en Deze brengt vrijwel de complete, en hier en daar zelfs uitgebreide reeks 7 cm figuren op de markt.

Ook de firma Barthel brengt het complete programma van 4 en 7 cm figuren uit, samen met een grote uitbreiding aan nieuwe modellen.
