They look like WW2 era lead soldiers. My dad has afew that are practically unused, but not near that many. Very cool. May be a good spot to look for mercs and walkers.

I think they could be earlier than WWII?

some kid probably buried them, and forgot about them

This was something I found on eBay that may be helpful..

"The [toy soldier ] is one lead Hand-Painted WWI British Sergeant figure. The figure measures approximately 2.5 inches tall (standing) and are 54mm. The figure is in excellent condition and is beautifully hand-painted with great detail and no visible paint loss. This is an excellent figure for anyone interested British Military figures. "

They are lead. I do not think they are WW II. The horses would be WW I. From the helmets I would say WW I, probably made in the 20s or 30s. I have a mould and back in the day, 50s, we would melt down wheel weights and cast soldiers. The mould made three at a time.

Nice finds!

more found thatn I've ever found!

I agree that it looks more like WW1 than WW2.
Pretty old, probably a child buried his "dead" soldiers from his play "battles".

Nice find!!!!!!!!

They look like WW1 American infantry, (I think). Prices vary widely based on type of metal and country. Most aren't worth alot, (around $4.00 each), but some are more rare than others. I think the most expensive ones I've seen are the bronze Australian ones that sell for anywhere from $60 to $120 in good condition.

Might want to check the completed listings on eBay, if nobody on here knows for certain.
