Christian Hacker The Christian Hacker factory was founded in Nuremberg in 1835 and, over the years, made varieties of wooden toys such as: stables, guard houses, dollhouses, rooms, kitchens, shops, warehouses, castles, cars, trains and many others. The toys were very high quality and very expensive. The company twice won medals in Paris at the Great Exhibition. Often their toys are marked with the Hacker label which was stamped or glued on the toy. The company closed in 1927 after the economy went down in Germany during the 1920s. All pictures are from the book: Christian Hacker. Wooden Toy Company in Nuremberg 1835 -1927, München 2009 , by Swantje Köhler.
