4th Miss Cav Posted October 20, 2021 #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.
Dirk Posted October 20, 2021 #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.
manayunkman Posted October 20, 2021 #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.
Proud Kraut Posted October 24, 2021 #5 Posted October 24, 2021 Awesome group of figures I have never seen before, thanks for sharing!

vintageproductions Posted December 19, 2021 #11 Posted December 19, 2021 Andrew- I also have a really cool barracks building that came with the collection. When I am back in the showroom, I will take a photo.

vintageproductions Posted December 20, 2021 #17 Posted December 20, 2021 Thanks. Maybe, if I get some time after Christmas, I can shoot better photos and load them up on the World Militaria Forum.
wartimecollectables.com Posted December 20, 2021 #18 Posted December 20, 2021 I will try and keep an eye out!
