Robot Looking Old Toy Soldier Mold mid-century toys with a few stray paint

with a few stray paint dabs here or there

and to my eye quite an amazing looking thing

I'm always opening old books in hopes of finding drawings inside

and 5/8's of an inch wide

Robot Looking Old Toy Soldier Mold mid-century toys with a few stray paintWhat I like about this old toy mold is how, in its fairly degraded state, the soldier looks to me like quite like a robot, making it feel nostalgic and futuristic both. Just one side of what would have been a front and back mold, and just a small thing, but I really like it. 3 5 16" x 2 1 8" x 9 16". 1920s 40s or so I might guess, in fairly aged condition, all to the good I think.
