He filed patents for articulated metal figurines and marionettes in 1921; these were exhibited at the Leipzig Fair in 1922. Until 1925, these figurines sold well, particularly in the United States. Following this, production of wooden toys was relaunched in 1927, notably including accessories for these figurines. The company faced difficulties during the 1929 crisis. Production of the figurines ceased in 1932, and sales ended in 1935. The lot may be picked up at the office at 8 rue Rossini, Paris 9th arrondissement, starting July 17, 2026, at 3:00 p.m.
