I checked the book now where I believed your game to have seen, also some
auction catalogues but didn't find the damned thing again. So I can only
provide you with more titels:
Baecker, Carl-Ernst & Haas,Dieter   t & Haas, Dieter
Die Anderen Nurnberger (Nuernberger), vol 1-5, Frankfurt 1973-1976

more volumes with other coauthores till vol 15 and other books.

Jeanmarie, Claude, differnt books all concerning tin-play-ware

also:
Die Welt aus Blech. Mechanisches Spielzeug aus zwei Jahrhunderten.
Main 1981

Sorry,
