Hello everybody,

As perhaps many know, at the beginning of the year I took over various series from the estate of the Jenkins family, the Bisto Kids, the teddy bears in the park and finally the wonderful series from the subject area of ​​"Pixie Dells".

In addition to the king, queen, orchestra and kids, there is a large series of 20 dancers.
When I took over, I found that the series was unfortunately not completed due to the death of Dick Jenkins. 3 figures were never engraved, the drawings were unfortunately no longer found.

There is no incompleteness for me, so I have the drawings reconstructed and redrawn and have to order Rolf Grünewald to engrave the figures.

I hereby present these 3 figures, in addition there is an absolute novelty in this topic.

A group of figures of pixies riding a dragonfly.
Idea by me, drawing by Sascha Lynakow, engraving by Rolf Grünewald.
I got the inspiration for this from a picture found by chance on the Internet.

I think that the series got another high point, I hope that it is also in the sense of Dick Jenkins that the story lives on and continues to grow.

Enjoy watching!

Hello everybody,

Since 2 years I'm the new owner and vendor of a wonderful series from Bettina Süssmeier, the legendary dance group "Flamenco", eyes height 80 mm.

Inspirated by a german TV-Dance-Show "Lets dance" on RTL, I thought it will be an nice idea to create new dance couples and additional musicans for the diffent dance styles, although I for myself never visited a dance school in my youth like the others kids;-)

We start the serie with a couple about the style " ChaChaCha ", 80 mm eye height, 90 mm tall, standing figure and engraved on both sides.
More will follow soon.


The idea / preliminary drawing comes from myself, drawing again by Uschi Heusel, engraving by Bettina Süßmeier again.

Hello everybody,


Here are 2 new figures that have never been on the market and which I would now like to present as a not so new publisher.

First, a classic Christmas angel with a harp, 65 mm high, engraved on both sides, usable as a standing figure, but also as a hanging figure.
The drawing is from Uschi Heusl, the engraving from Bettina Süssmeier, who had started engraving this figure years ago, but has only now completed it because I took over the form directly!


Secondly, the start of a new series, which at first glance seems a bit unusual, but is something different.

They are "international" (Christmas) angels from all over the world.

The inspiration for this idea is based on the fact that no matter where in the world you want to escape the hustle and bustle of Christmas through a long-distance holiday, Christmas will catch up with you all over the world, somehow every culture celebrates somehow, and there are now various angels for that.

We start with the Indian angel, 80 mm eye height, 90 mm tall, standing or hanging figure and engraved on both sides.
More will follow soon.
The idea / preliminary drawing comes from myself, drawing again by Uschi Heusl, engraving by Bettina again.

Presentation of the private offizin "Kettwiger Zinnfiguren" / "Kettwiger tin figures"

Dear friends of collectors,

Recently I am also a member of the online forum of the BFFS, a little commented I have already, too;-)

I am 51 years old, from Essen-Kettwig in Germany and have been working in the tin figures field for over 35 years, here mainly in the 30 mm flat area in the subject area "30 Years War".

In autumn 2018 I decided to set up my own private officin.
The motivation for this was the idea to be even more active in the hobby and thus to resist the trend that, unfortunately, there are fewer known publishers and tin figure friends (for known reasons).

The focus of the officin is initially on children, Easter and Christmas figures, here I would like to reach the appropriate target groups and thus make our hobby more popular again.
If we can inspire the children and young people again for tin figures, they will certainly find their way back to the classic collector's areas

Other 30 mm figures will certainly be added.

Initially, I started with the takeover of other offices:
- Raistinger tin figures (Süßmeier):
o Christmas figures
o Eastern-figuren
o Horoscopes (German and Asian)
o Various special figures

- Gotha tin figures / tin figures from Schmalkalden (Dittmer)
o horses and dogs (30 mm)

- tin figures from Schmalkalden (Dittmer) / former forms by Richard Taubert (Zirndorf)
o Christmas figures (Christmas tree decorations "Nuremberg School")
o Various hanging figures
o Please note: These forms have not been cast in decades

Future shapes and new figures are being planned, but it will certainly take until 2020 for novelties to come out, as there are enough ideas in your head.

An own online shop incl. Internet address is still in preparation, you can get the preliminary catalog from me via an email, please contact me at:

kettzinn@gmx.de

or at the following address:

Christian Voss
An the Nittlau 43
45219 Essen-Kettwig

Take care: Until my online-shop starts, i sell my figures via ebay, too.
You can find me in Schmalkalden next year, and again in Kulmbach, 2021.


Please, forgive me my crazy school english and contact me for any questions,

With best collector's greetings
Christian Voss
