lead soldier
Metal military miniature
A lead soldier is a small toy figurine of a military figure, traditionally cast from lead or a lead alloy.
These miniatures were popular children's toys from the 18th century through the mid-20th century, when concerns about lead toxicity shifted production to safer materials like plastic.
Collectors still prize antique lead soldiers: He inherited a set of Napoleonic lead soldiers from his grandfather.
