Ernst Paul Lehmann (EPL)
Description
Originally known for its miniature model toys, the Ernst Paul Lehmann toy brand manufactures a wide range of exquisite toys which have garnered a global collector's following. Their finest collection ranges from intricately designed locomotives and wind-up toys to aquatic and aeronautical models. It is a paradise for those obsessed with the minute detailing and the vintage charm that each toy carries. The brand stands robust on the pillars of intricate design, high precision, and a deep appreciation for the small-scale world.
In the charming small town of Brandenburg, Germany, a young and ambitious Ernst Paul Lehmann set the foundation of the Ernst Paul Lehmann Patentwerk in 1881. This bright-eyed innovator embarked on a journey to create small but intricate mechanical wonders, which we so fondly address as toys now. The company quickly gained widespread attention and standing for the quality and detailing of its products. The riveting journey also involved a hard-hitting setback during World War II, when the production had to be shifted away from toys. However, the zeal of Lehmann saw the company bounce back, and it resumed producing beloved toys in the post-war era. An interesting fact is that the famed Lehmann LGB G-scale model trains were introduced to fit around Christmas trees!
