Lehmann SUSI turtle carrying a child figurine provides a compact, display-ready example of mid-century German tin toy design. Its primary benefit is nostalgic display appeal in a small shelf footprint while retaining original lithographed surface detail.

Collectors often need authentic pieces that fit cabinet or shelf displays without invasive restoration. This original mid-century toy answers that need by offering identifiable origin, period, and material so you can present or catalog the item reliably.

  • Made in Germany circa 1952–1970 (period estimate)
  • Material: lithographed tinplate (estimated) with painted detail
  • Compact dimensions 13 × 11 × 9 cm suitable for shelf or cabinet display
  • Includes one original Lehmann SUSI BABY turtle figure
  • Approximate weight 0.2 kg; gentle handling preserves the vintage finish

Compared to modern reproductions, this piece retains period-correct lithography and manufacture characteristics that are useful for collectors and historians verifying provenance. If you use the toy for display or cataloging, note the estimated measurements and origin when documenting condition or insurance value.

Trust signals: origin stated as Germany, material recorded as lithographed tinplate (estimated) and visible manufacturer marking matches Lehmann examples from the mid 20th century. Handle with care and store away from humidity and direct sunlight to preserve paint and lithography. Learn more about condition and provenance before purchase.
