MINITRIX 13803 Boxcar "Gebr. Bing"

The history of Gebr. Bing:

Ignaz and Adolf Bing founded Gebrüder Bing in Nürnberg, Germany in 1865 as a tin and kitchenware manufacturer. Around 1890 the company began making enameled toys. In 1907 Gebrüder Bing made their first bears, joining the teddy bear revolution at its height.
To distinguish their bears, Gebrüder Bing used a metal arrow in the bear’s ear, with the initials G.B.N. set in a diamond. Later the tag was moved from the ear to under the arm. Around 1920 a metal label attached to the right arm replaced the tag. (www.gebrbing.com)
