I found what I think is the head of a Barclay lead soldier.
Can you tell by just the head what year this was?
Looks like by the hat it could be a Canadian Mountie?
Also the ships wheel looking item.
I am guessing either a game piece, spinning top, or some kids toy?
Each spoke on one side has a number. 1 through 6.
The other side blank.
Thanks for looking.

Nice! He almost looks like he's yelling...Drill Sergeant, maybe? Can't help with the year.
 

Second one down between the thumb and index finger is the toy parents feared most before Lego's. It is a common 'Jack'. Imagine stepping on one of those with bare feet or a soft slipper in the living room carpet.
 

The ships wheel looks like a number spinner for a board game. It does not look like any jacks I have seen, they do not have numbers on them. I cannot find the game it goes to. Maybe someone else will have better luck.

Cool find. Keep swingin.
 

Wow those are some very cool finds! :icon_thumleft: I really like the ship's wheel.
 

maybe the soldier was steering the ship and the rest of him went down with the ship. nice finds

WW1 Doughboy? Perhaps State Trooper
