Lead toy soldier

Lead toy soldier

Description

Two fragments make up a lead toy soldier that is flat, almost two dimensional. One small piece has broken off, but the fragments form an otherwise complete object. The soldier is wearing a large hat and a coat with tails and is holding a firearm—possibly a musket—perpendicular to his body and leaning on his shoulder. This toy was found during the excavation of the hospital building at Historic Fort Snelling in 1974.
