Guarding the yard

I’ve retrieved these four soldier figures from the back area of my property. All on different days. Poor kid kept losing his troops.
They’re a bit heavy, so I’m assuming they are lead.

Those are very nice finds, and very collectable. Nice job.

Cool finds! We made lead soldiers when we were kids (probably explains why I'm always walking in circles). It was stopped after a neighbor kid tripped on the electric cord for the molten lead pot heater and ended up with molten lead spilled on his foot.

not painted so possibly from a home casting kit. Get in touch with forum member Subterranian, (did I spell that right?) he's the lead soldier guru

That,s how I learned to wear boots when casting bullets or jigs!

Same here. It’s probably why we still play in the dirt 😂😂

Very good finds...I love old toys like that. Back then they built toys to last, I have only found one lead toy and its a of a business woman figurine from the 1940s. Soldiers are a lot cooler !

Me too. I have two grown sons. Every time I find old boy’s toys it reminds me of all the LEGO toys my boys lost in the yard. Lol 😆

I had a lot of lead Soldiers when i was a child. I bet the Garden center had a sand boxthere and if someone ran a detector of it they would find some more lead soldiers. I want to congratulate you on your finds and thank you for bringing back fond memories of my child hood
