Outside temp 20 degrees time for toys

[Bryan1776]

So here are my toy finds from 2018The Fire Engine is a Tootsie Toy 40 or 1950's. Tires gone, the only complete one I found the home owner wanted.
The large solders came out of the same yard, no marks on them. the two smaller are lead. I could use a little help on ID ing these guys.
Marshall badge has markings on the back, but I cant make them out. The two pistols were found 15miles apart some I'm assuming they were popular at some point in time. The doggie was found across the street from the solders. Pipe wrench I'm guessing from an old Monopoly game.

Nice finds!

The pistols are apparently Cracker Jack prizes. They were basically mini-squirt-guns. Pretty cool.

Beautiful toy collection, congrats on finding all of those. First, your two broken Manoil "skinny" M-170 flag bearers were first made in Nov-Dec 1945, right after WW2.


The rare one in your collection is the American Alloy-Toy Creations TC-13 "Officer in gas mask with pistol, WW2 helmet." He was first introduced in 1947. Even with the tip of his pistol missing, he is worth quite a bit to vintage toy soldier collectors, maybe $50-75.00 currently.

The two little soldiers (40mm?) were probably Cracker Jack premiums or other give aways. Most US toy soldier manufacturers did not sell those little guys en mass. Hope this helps, Cheers! Sub
