Toy soldiers

Each epoch had it: toy soldiers. Even the ancient Egypts knew them. And each epoch also had its connoisseurs.

From Antiquity to WW II 

From Antiquity up to WW II or even later: toy soldiers always were fascinating. But mainly at the time of Friedrich der Grosse toy soldiers became very popular - as tin toy soldiers in Germany´s Prussia (= Preussen ). Today especially vintage tin toy soldiers are a hobby for many enthusiasts, often displayed in historic battle scenes, like the American Civil War, or the times of Napoleon. As a collector´s item, antique tin toy soldiers may be very precious.
