Amphibians, reptiles, crustaceans, shells, insects
The Dresden ornaments shown here are only a part of what there once was. The gallery will continue to grow over time. For this I need your help. If you have pieces that are not shown here and you would like them to be shown here for all collectors to see and to illustrate the incredible variety of Dresden ornaments, I would be pleased to receive your photos.
To provide some clarity, I have divided the Dresden cardboard objects into categories. Of those pieces of which I was able to find the producer, I have noted this under the picture. Furthermore, I have tried to give further information about the objects, if known (for example, if they were demonstrably used as Christmas tree decorations, as Attrappen, candy containers or for a cotillon tour).
AT = Attrappe, BO = Bonbonniere (candy container), CBS = Christbaumschmuck (Christmas tree ornament), CT = Cotillon tour, HE = Hersteller (producer), HP = Halbplastisch (Semi-plastic)

AT / CBS / Linker Krebs: 10,5 cm / rechter Krebs: 13 cm. Es gibt auch noch einen Krebs mit 20 cm Länge / HE: Neumann und Co., Dresden oder Gelbke und Benedictus, Dresden. Beide Hersteller hatten Krebse im Angebot. Krebse wurden als Knallbonbon oder bereits ab 1870 als Bestandteil einer Cotillon-Tour verwendet
