Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:180678 | Country/Region of Manufacture: Russian Federation |
| Type: Figurine | Material: Celluloid plastic |
One of the most untapped and exciting frontiers for collectors of vintage plastic animal figures has to be Russia. I have found very few pieces and a company known as OHK - Ohtinsky Chemical Factory - produced some rather impressive large scale hand painted hollow celluloid figures such as this BACTRIAN CAMEL with a heavy mane as seen in Mongolia and according to the citizens of that country these were circulated in the 1950s. Other than this camel I have seen only 8 other ...different figures by the same company and series and have no idea how many actually exist. What I have seen was a squirrel, rooster, cockatoo, wolf (only after an action was ended from a private firm in Russia), Lion, elephant, Polar bear and a Brown bear. Of course they came with a rather high price tag - but given some the scarcity even on the internet and the unique quality I never regretted it - and even this camel that was my first OHK figure acquired in my collection even they have disappeared from availability on the secondary market. Measures 6 inches tall x 8 and 1/4 inches long, in very good condition with minor wear and no damage or repairs.
