  • O&M Hausser was a German company founded by Christian Hausser and his sons Otto and Max Hausser in 1904. In 1925, they purchased Pfeiffer of Austria and integrated the Pfeiffer composition figures into their production under the name Tipple-Topple. In 1939, Hausser started experimenting with plastic and in 1955, the first polysterol plastic miniatures (1:25) were made. Elastolin is a trademark used for the toy soldiers and other types of figures it manufactured from composite material and later from plastic. Elastolin composition figures were manufactured in 40mm, 65mm, 70mm, and 105mm scales.
