Reisler and Tekno cooperating

  
 
 

Chauffeurs


Some of Tekno's cars were sold in combination with Reisler figures. Today these items are popular among collectors of both brands. Most common were combinations between Tekno's jeeps and Reisler's 3,5 cm chauffeurs.

 Toys for Expo 58


Both firms produced toys for the 1958 World Fair in Brussels. The two sets were probably made independently but they go well together and the style of the packings are quite similar. Both sets were ordered by Belgian company Boismanu.

 

Tekno:  Mercedes Express (No.851)

 Reisler: Six figures (See 3,5 cm "Figuroversigt")


These sets and numerous other items that were produced for the exhibition are very popular collectors items.
