Found the lead soldier mold a couple years ago, didn't know what it was, threw it in the scrap pile. After some rain, I was finally able to figure it out!! Pretty cool. Even better, I found the soldier recently and crossed my fingers. found the mold and sweet, it was a fit. reunited after all these years. Keep Swinging!!

Cool find!!! I had a similar mold when I was 9 or 10. Kids were encouraged to make their own toys back then and melting down some lead to make some toy soldiers was considered socially acceptable. So I had a rather large army of several hundred men since I was a good scavenger for scrap lead, and I also have some scars from molten metal spills, all just part of growing up then. Cheers!!

There you go muddpuppy with your scrap lead you find you can melt and make his bros.
