Something Missing?

Gescha was a German toy manufacturer established in Nuremberg in 1923. The company was founded by the brothers Max and Ludwig Schmid and produced mostly tinplate toys, with plastic parts beginning to be added in the early 1960s.

In 1965 the company was merged with Strenco. Both brands were taken over by Conrad in 1971, a producer of diecast models who had been employed as a subcontractor by Gescha before.

In 1965 the company was merged with Strenco. Both brands were taken over by Conrad in 1971, a producer of diecast models who had been employed as a subcontractor by Gescha before.

Conrad then applied the Gescha name to its own products until the late 1970s, when the whole range of diecast models began to be marketed under the Conrad name.
