I found this piece in the bottom of my pouch from the other day, I think its lead, its smaller then a dime. One side says Hatcher And Newbury? Cant make out much on the other side. A lead seal maybe? The second Item is a lead soldier was just wondering on a date for that? Thank you in advance.

...or watches and jewelry, but that's nitpicking. creskol's got it right.

and that headless soldier has some really terrible cuts of cloth there, so I'm thinking jodhpurs and probably WWI infantry.
just throwing that out there...

Your right. Thanks Creskol. So would that make it a seal?

Mainer-
I think it would look like this one I found - I could make out the name of the company on it and traced it to circa 1890s

Thanks Cru. Thanks to you too Bramblefind, I assumed there must have been more to it. They are darned small. I can see why you would lose them.

mainer,

my clothes comments were based only on fashion that might be relevant for the period.
who was wearing jodhpurs during WW2?
don't answer that, but honestly, if you had a lead soldier business going,
would you put those pants on if you didn't have to?
