German. 1920s. The bears have articulating arms and legs and removable heads to reveal glass perfume tubes with stoppers. Schuco was famous for its tinplate toys but ceased production during WW1. After WW1, they began making novelty items, such as perfume bottles. These were created and designed for ladies and made small enough to fit in their handbags. Very rare and hard-to-find items.
