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.

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.
