4th Miss Cav Posted October 20, 2021 Share #1 Posted October 20, 2021 West Point cadets and an American Revolution standard bearer. Bought these from the Old Toy Soldier Museum in Vicksburg MS years ago when they closed their doors. It was a very interesting place. Not sure of the dates on these but I would assume pre 1940. If anyone knows please let me know. Link to comment
Dirk Posted October 20, 2021 Share #2 Posted October 20, 2021 Composition figures are not my area of expertise, but from what little I know I think you are correct on pre-world war II for the west point cadets. Very nice set. Link to comment

manayunkman Posted October 20, 2021 Share #4 Posted October 20, 2021 Elastolin did continue making composition figures after the war before they transitioned to plastic. Im not sure if they made the USMA cadets after the war. Ive collected them since I was a little boy in the early 60s. Link to comment
