Metal Toy, Spoons, and Top to some tube

[Cantstopdigging]

Hello Forum,

I found these items today. Can anyone identify the toy soldier, and does anyone know what "save this tube for victory" might have been? Thanks for looking!

Educated guess on the tube. WW2 saw tons of rationing of everything. Possible a hair shampoo or toothpaste tube from that time period.

One of the ointment tubes in this link is described as having that same phrase: https://www.rubylane.com/item/97332-10386/Two-Blue-Ointment-Tubes-Original-Box78es
I assume they meant recycle the metal for the war effort.

HI CSD,

Your mounted soldier was made by Barclay, circa 1931-1934, (an early one) and is described in their catalog as: "486 Cavalryman." Congrats on a group of great finds! HH, Sub (Lance)
