Hausser (O. & M. Hausser), founded in 1904 in Ludwigsburg, produced military vehicles in tin under the Elastolin brand. Hausser produced the Kübelwagen model both in the pre-war and post-war periods. The camouflage finish and accompanying soldier figures correspond to the typical delivery condition. Elastolin vehicles with complete crew and functioning running gear are sought after in the collector market.
