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 />
