They were designed and produced over 160 different models, being two-thirds of their production intended for export. As America was the largest importer, Bucherer took advantage of that and developed many comic characters and celebrities such as Mutt and Jeff, Happy Hooligan, Maggie and Jiggs, the Katzenjammer Kids, Amelia Earhart, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, William Hart, etc. Also, the very realistic ethnic and uniformed figures and children’s heroes that were very popular with the American buyer.Payment: We accept and prefer PayPal.
