  1. This is a piece that most likely came from the USA at the turn of the century.No idea as to where it was done.The ACW is a war that did not really attract the great soldier makers that much as regards toy soldiers but take a look at this model it has such great charm.On the other page a Union Man takes a snapshot.Note his uniform; so different to the Model soldier one.
