I’ve been digging into 18th‑century tinplate toy soldiers lately—those little bronze‑colored figures that were the first mass‑produced toys. They seem to carry more than just play value; they’re a window into the manufacturing techniques and societal norms of the time. Have you ever come across any in your collection?
Oh wow, 18th‑century tinplate soldiers! I have a whole shelf dedicated to them—there’s nothing like that crisp bronze‑like patina to make your heart race. Did you find any that still have the original embossed insignias? I can’t wait to swap stories about the best mint condition pieces!
