John, I'd dearly love a copy of the scanned pages if it isn't too much trouble. Thank you.

Love those, A_C!

Ever increasing postal rates not withstanding, let's not neglect the fact that many less than scrupulous ebayers supplement their profits by overcharging for shipping and handling. I avoid the more obvious of these offenders like the plague.

Many of these DNA testing businesses are not only accused of bungling the fidelity of accuracy in interpreting the origins of applicants, there is some evidence that a bit of deliberate "perceptive social engineering" may be taking place as well. By that it is meant that they have been caught...

I saw this on Facebook, and had a good laugh.

I don't just like it Johnny, I love it!

I would say that the paintwork is quite a bit better than the sculpt in this case.:rolleyes2: The missing item appears to be his sword.

I believe that there is a link between ASC/Eureka and Lincoln Logs anyway, which sends us right back to the false start. The latter bought up the molds of the former, and used them for much of their own line of toys.

Now I'm wondering if they might not have been made by The American Soldier Company under their Eureka brand. The paint and sculpt style is very similar.

I guess it is all in the eye of he beholder. I thought that this season was the worst ever for both shows, with the finale of this mid season FWD being the nail in the coffin. It is painfully obvious that the writing has been really degraded, the budget slashed, and actors are leaving the show...

Yes, I'm still debating whether to repaint these, or leave them as-is. I usually restore those that are a bit further gone than these. They have proved to be ticklishly evasive in IDing. I acquired them for next to nothing, so I suppose it is purely curiosity driving me to find the answer.

Thanks Brad. Yes, I know about Lincoln Logs building sets,I had them as a child. I have very little info on their toy soldier lines however, other than a brief mention and a few photos in my reference books. Thank you for elucidating on this topic.

On a FB toy soldier group, someone suggested that they might be made by Lincoln Log. I have precious little info on those made by that maker. Can anyone shed some light on this possibility? Thank you.

Rest in peace, my fellow Edwards. Cymru am byth!

They do look a bit like a Barclay, but not quite. I wonder if they are one of the Japanese knockoffs?

I purchased quite a few vintage toy soldiers over the last week, and among them were eight of these sailor figures. Buying off of the photos, I though that they might be Johillco, and although they are about the typical size and style for that maker, the base is molded on rather than pegged...

I know what you mean. I used to buy most of my model soldier kits from the U.K., but postage rates have really put the kabash on that practice largely. It is cheaper to buy the same kits already imported by U.S. vendors than directly from the manufacturer overseas because of this. Ditto the toy...

I should point out that the officer, drummer and bugler appear to be very possibly different in make than the ensign and marching enlisted figures in this lot. So the identity of maker(s) may be different for the differing sculpts. The remaining figures in the original photos (not repainted or...

Clearer photos. Sorry for the redundancy, but I was unable to edit my original post due to assigned permission limits.
