Elastolin is a trademark used by the German company O&M Hausser for the toy soldiers and other types of figures it manufactured from composite material and later from plastic. Founded in 1904 the company ended in 1943 when the German economy was put on a 'total war' footing.  Elastolin composition figures were manufactured in 40mm (4-cm), 65mm (6.5-cm), 70mm (7-cm), and 105mm (10.5 cm) scales.  The Elastolin catalogues of the 1930's describe the 7-cm figures as being "normal size" (normalgrosse) and the 4-cm figures as Miniatur-Soldaten
