Here's the World Headquarters of Old Glory Corp where all your toys have originated for the last 30 years. The Old Glory building is 140 years old and was one of the "Old Company Stores" for the coal mines that once dotted Western Pennsylvania.
Mounds and mounds of toy army men just being cast so they can be sent out to all the good little wargaming boys and girls.
For all our British friends, here's just part of the order getting ready to be shipped out to "Big Andy" at Old Glory UK. The faithful shipper is Connie and lending a hand (or in this case paw) is the ever vigilant shop kitty Midnight who Teresa rescued about 9 years ago.

Now that I've seen your premises I'm more than happy to own many armies with your figures:-)

My mom's side was Pennsylvania coal miners, so my grandparents may have shopped in there when it was a company store. Stranger things have happened.

Lovely story

Thanks for posting! I wonder from time to time what the place (and other miniatures companies' places look like. And the people and the cats too.

So that's where they come from! I thought that Santa & his elves did it.

It's nice to see where all these Blue Moon ACW I have been and am painting come from.

Thanks, Teresa, for going to the trouble to post this. Very enjoyable.

Very cool post.

Cerdic19 Jun 2019 12:06 p.m. PST

I like the building!

130 years is probably pretty good for the US isn't it? Brings to mind the old joke: Americans think 100 years is a long time. The British think 100 miles is a long way…

Militia Pete19 Jun 2019 3:30 p.m. PST

Many figures have been purchased from there. Possibly working on another bank depleting order :)
