A fine addition to my humble but growing collection of Motter Ombra used in East Germany:
Spielbox is a compendium of six games produced by VEB Piko in Sonneberg, probably in the mid-1980s. Othmar Motter’s display masterpiece is used in lowercase letters for the name, with a die in place of the i dot.
The Thuringian town of Sonneberg is known “as a center of toy production and was dubbed the ‘toy capital of the world’ in the 1920s.”
