Thanks for looking.TOY SOLDIER HQ INC - usa 1/32 SALES LISTSĪfter Banner bought Thomas in 1958 they set up Alden as a subsidiary to sell the exThomas toys. The figures all have the same rectangular bases (similar to Britains) apart from one set which has round bases. I’ve spent time online trying to match these figures to brands such as Airfix, Britains, Starlux, Timpo etc, but to no avail. All in all there are about 400-450 pieces across 18 photographs. This looks like it could have belonged to someone who was documenting and cataloguing their collection. The photos look professionally made and are printed on Kodak paper. The soldiers seem to be Napoleonic era and include both infantry and cavalry. Among the items was a folder of photographs showing a vintage toy soldier collection. I recently picked up some paperwork items from a local vintage toy shop here in France. Thanks to Twitter agent I think we can safely say that this mystery is now solved!
