Back when a dime bought a toy soldier at the five-and-dime, mounted cavalrymen were among the favorites, and they are still prized by dimestore soldier collectors today. This khaki-clad officer in a peaked cap rides a black horse with one foreleg raised, and he sits on a brown saddle. He is a handsome little piece for a shelf, a cabinet or a military toy display.

Details

Grey Iron Casting Co. of Mount Joy, Pennsylvania, poured mounted soldiers like this in the 1930s. This one is a solid cast iron figure with the rider cast as one with the horse.
It was made in a two-piece mold, so the center seam is visible down the rider and horse.
It weighs about 4.3 oz.

Condition: Small spots of silver paint wear on the cap and jacket sleeve, otherwise good color. The casting is intact with no chips, cracks or repairs seen; see photos.
