Vintage Lead Toy Soldier and Horse Casting Molds, 10 pieces

10 vintage lead toy casting molds — the kind that once turned a ladle of molten metal into a box of soldiers, horses, and cannons. Each rectangular plate is engraved with detailed relief cavities depicting figures, soldiers, cavalry, and military equipment; alignment pins and sprue holes are present throughout. One pair is still hinged with its original metal clasp. The metal has a characteristic grey-green patina from age and use, with some white oxidation and surface roughness on several plates — honest wear from a working tool. A great find for toy soldier collectors, casting hobbyists, or anyone who appreciates the craft behind the classic tin soldier tradition. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
