This website was developed in order to archive and display the wonderful tin toys produced by Ernst Paul Lehmann Patenwerk in Brandenberg, Germany from the 1880s to 1930s. Please understand that these toys are in a private collection and they are not available for sale or inspection. They are shown here solely for educational purposes and to help generate interest in collecting these interesting, innovative toys. Every angle of every toy and box are shown. None of these toys have been restored or repaired except for the two or three repairs that are expressly noted. These toys are the finest original examples the collector has thus far been able to find, but the search continues and is ongoing.
The educated viewer will note that several rare Lehmann toys are not yet included in the collection, such as Quex motorcycle, Roon motorcycle, Salus ambulance, and others. And certain of the toys are shown without the box. Therefore, please contact us if you know where any of the following may be purchased:
- Toys not shown in this collection.
- A mint or near mint toy that is nicer than the one in the collection.
- A boxed example of a toy that is shown in the collection without a box.
- Entire collections of Lehmann toys.
- Incomplete toys or boxes for Lehmann toys.
Our hope is that this website will serve as a useful reference tool for Lehmann toy collectors and will help foster interest in this enjoyable hobby. We hope you enjoy it. And perhaps in the process this collection can be enhanced and improved.
