All beginnings<br />

are difficult.<br />

The artisan Jean Fleischmann founded an engraving company<br />

in Nürnberg in 1887 where paper weights were being produced<br />

besides a whole variety of designer pieces. Two years later<br />

a new factory was built at <strong>the</strong> Bielingstrasse 23 which was<br />

used in later years as <strong>the</strong> workshop <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> show model<br />

railway layouts. Over <strong>the</strong> course of time <strong>the</strong> product line<br />

changed dramatically and in 1898 <strong>the</strong> production of toys<br />

was started. It was mostly magnetic swimming and walking<br />

animals, waterspout fountains, and ships of all kinds. An<br />

extraordinary brand development is taking its course.<br />
