As “plastic” is the general common term for a wide range of synthetic products, such as synthetic rubber, Bakelite, celluloid, polystyrene, nylon, a.s., I have ranged all those items under the heading "Plastic". "Elastoline" is under the "Papier Maché".

Some plastic items, such as the Christmas trees and plastic hangers, are under "Various".

So-called "Margerine Figures"
These "margerine figures" came packed in food and their history goes back to 1920-1922 and were made of various materials, such as cardboard, wood, metal, paper images (Liebig images). Thorough and extensive information on these "margarinefiguren" is on this website.

The figures we are dealing with here started in the 1950s and ended around 1954, according to the information on the above site.They are made of a sort of hard plastic, called "polystyrol" and have an ivory color and of course relate to Christmas.

Angels can be "flat" and sometimes the same both sides and sometimes different; others are "full-figure" (3D) , mostly with flowing robe. They do not all have the same hairstyle. It is not known where these 3D angels and subsequent music boxes, etc. were produced. Nuremburg has been mentioned. Period would be 1950-1970. Additional information is required.

After the "Margerine Figures" I have also shown candle holders because the main figures, being the angels, resemble the margerine figures. Of course these candle holders did not in come packed food.

Below three photos of candle holders, same model as the one above, but figures are painted and the stands are all marked "MADE IN GERMANY" and "REG. 50-55/56-67", while the stands are not all the same height and the angels differ.

Snow globes

From Wikipedia:

Precisely when the first snow globe (also called a" waterglobe", "snowstorm",or "snowdome") was made remains unclear, but they appear to date from France during the early 19th century. They may have appeared as a successor to the glass paperweight, which became popular a few years earlier. Snow globes appeared at the Paris Universal Expo of 1878, and by 1879 at least five companies were producing snow globes and selling them throughout Europe.
In 1889, a snow globe containing a model of the newly built Eiffel Tower was produced to commemorate the International Exposition in Paris, which marked the centenary of the French Revolution. Snow globes became popular in England during the Victorian era and, in the early 1920s, crossed the Atlantic to the U.S.A.where they became a popular collectors item. Many of these globes were produced by Atlas Crystal Works, which had factories in Germany and America.
In the United States, the first snow globe-related patent was granted in 1927 to Joseph Garaja of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 1929, Garaja convinced Novelty Pool Ornaments to manufacture a fish version underwater.
In America, during the 1940s, snow globes were often used for advertising. In Europe, during the 1940s and 1950s, religious snow globes were common gifts for Catholic children. Snow globes have appeared in a number of film scenes, the most famous of which is the opening of the 1941 classic Citizen Kane.
In the 1950s, the globes, which were previously made of glass, became available in plastic. Currently, there are many different types of snow globes available. These globes are produced by a number of countries and range from the mass produced versions of Hong Kong and Chinato the finely crafted types still produced in West Germany. Snow globes feature diverse scenes, ranging from the typical holiday souvenirs to more eclectic collectibles featuring Christmas scenes, Disney characters, popular icons, animals, military figures, historical scenes, etc. Snow globes have even been used for election campaigns.

A history of snowdomes can be found in "Snowdomes" by Nancy McMichael. This book provided much of the material in this entry.
