Found several old lead ACW figures in an old barn. Any one have any idea what these might be? link |

Link is not working, at least for me. Yield was "404 – The requested URL was not found on this server." Jim |

Those look like the Ideal figures from the fort Cheyenne playset. They were originally blue plastic. |

I believe that the Ideal figures were recast figures that were originally Crescent figures which were painted plastic figures you would get in a pack of four or five figures and they were sold in a window box, with a watercolor background. |

What cavcrazy's second post said. I have the exact figure (the middle figure) shown in the photo. |

Those are 100% the same figures, these are lead, so did they come first? The box they came out of was all stuff from the early 60's. Also do they have any value? The kid who found them, does not want to keep them. |

minunn I'm in the antique and 'old stuff' business. Were those figures in 'near mint' or 'like new' condition, there might be (BIG 'might be') a collector for either nostalgia or a real collector who'd buy them for a price, I dunno. I've a Johillco ACW Union set in the original box (box is not in original condition but figures are very good but not mint) which has been sitting on the shelf with an attractive price for over a year. Some toy soldier sets (and I mean that phrase in a complimentary manner) will sell – most will not, even in excellent condition. If a collector – a real collector – has a hole in her/his collection you might make a sale. Otherwise… |
