They produced mainly automobiles, motorcycles and mechanical figures. The toys were given the character "G & K". In the "Brandenburger Gazette" were at that time up to 40 "experienced Stanzerinnen and clippers inside "wanted. 1920 took over Greppert & Kelch both the company was founded in 1892 "Metz & Duncker" and the firm, founded in 1910, "Tellus Works", which were renamed the "United tin toys factories Gundka GmbH". 1922 some 90% of total production was exported, as the solid construction was very appreciated abroad and the prices were moderate. In addition to the logo "G & K" more and more toys were provided with the brand "Gundka" (derived from the name of the founder Greppert and cup).
