Up for auction or buy-it-now is a beautiful, rare pair of antique pre-war German cast metal/lead fox hunt miniatures. These figures feature exceptional craftsmanship and are highly representative of the legendary toy style produced by makers like Georg Heyde in the early 20th century (circa 1910s–1930s).

Unique Design Features:

• Single-Cast Construction: Both figurines feature a completely integrated, single-mold design. The rider, horse, and accompanying hounds are cast together as one solid piece for stability and a beautifully dynamic, action-oriented composition.

• Authentic Markings: The underside leg of the horse is clearly stamped "GERMANY", verifying its pre-war European export origin.

Official Size: Size No. 2 (60mm / 2.5-inch figure standard scale)

Height: 2.75 in

Length: 3.5 in

• Dismounted Handler Vignette (Single-Piece Cast)

• Design: Features a standing handler/jockey holding the horse's lead line at the bridle bit. In matching fashion to the first piece, the two companion hounds are integrated into the lower leg casting of the horse for stability.

• Dimensions: Proportional matching 60mm scale.

• Condition Report:
• These pieces are in excellent antique condition given their age and soft metal composition. They show honest, authentic paint wear and minor scuffing, which adds beautiful vintage character without detracting from display quality. Crucially, there are no broken legs, missing tails, or snapped figures. The delicate wire reins and the standing handler's whip are both completely intact—a rarity for toys of this era.
