For people adoring playing and collecting toy soldiers (Elastolin, Lineol, Durso, Britains, Marx, Timpo, Starlux and many others). I am presenting images of vintage toy soldiers as a historical curiosity without endorsement of any political ideology and propaganda of war.

Dux construction kits from 30s
In 30s, the factory Markes & Co. KG (Lüdenscheid, Germany) produced metal toys, mainly construction kits (Metallbaukasten) marked Dux. The production begins with kits of planes (very similar to Mecavion) sets: 103, 104, 106, 108, 109, 110
and the complementary sets: 104A, 106A and 106D. These are sets that allow you to mount many
types of aircraft (monoplane, biplane, floatplane), but only set 109 was supplied with a motor. The construction pieces were produced in corrugated tin for the wings and smooth to the nacelle. Some pieces were painted red for a
pleasing overall effect. The spring motor rotating the propeller and the wheels was an optional part that could be purchased. In the same time period, the Mercedes SSK construction kit was made in two versions with and without
clockwork motor. As the Mercedes SSK accessory , you could buy the remote driving flexible cable.
