This series includes 40 figures, two tanks having the same reference to advance it. All these characters represent the famous Carnival of Cologne.
Some have a inscription engraved in German ( names in red ) but we find 18 in French.
The carnival is a place to relax for people to the authority, the administration and today the politics, but always in a festive spirit. In this series, tanks are difficult to find so that mother Michel, intact atomic cannon and butterfly catcher.
We also find figurines of color grey silver.

Did you know ? The word drum "majorette" comes from our canteen manageresses of the french second Empire whom we called " les petites Marie ". This name was exported towards the United States then returned under the name of majorette there.
