Collection of Seven Vintage German Tin-Plate Dexterity Games Including INDU and D.G.M. Marked Examples c. 1920-1950 - This lot comprises a diverse collection of seven vintage handheld dexterity and skill games, primarily of German manufacture. Constructed from lithographed tin-plate, these toys feature vibrant, multi-coloured illustrations protected by transparent covers. Notable examples include a piece marked INDU depicting a child and a monkey, and another bearing the D.G.M. 136906 (Deutsches Gebrauchs-Muster) registration mark with a star motif. The collection showcases a variety of whimsical themes, including a clown face, a cat operating a camera, circus animals, a swamp scene with crocodiles, and a deeper cylindrical game featuring children with dogs. These games typically require the player to manoeuvre small balls or rings into designated spots using physical skill. The lot represents a charming cross-section of early to mid-20th-century pocket entertainment.
