An incomplete Modern lead-alloy toy gun (c. 1850-c. 1920 AD). The stock survives and is sub-triangular in plan, pointed-oval in cross-section and has an open-ended butt.

Lead alloy toy. Cast toy bowl with a pedestal foot and everted rim. This object appears apt to use in a dolls' house kitchen. An external mould line is visible; the bowl is now slightly squashed and part of its upper body is lost. The vessel form is distinct from that of Post-Medieval objects reported from London, and is suggested to be of later date. Suggested date: Modern, 1850-1950. Diameter (approximate): 25mm, Height: 24mm, Thickness: 1.1mm, Weight: 5.46gms.

A cast copper-alloy water pistol toy of later 19th or early 20th century date. The object takes the form of a revolver or 'six-shooter' handgun, missing the sqeezable balloon handle. The attachment for the handle is a projecting disc that would have fitted into a socket. The gun is not an exact replica in miniature, however, as there is no trigger or trigger guard, hammer or sight at the end of the barrel. The end of the barrel of worn and slightly rounded and appears solid. Flashmarks are visible along the upper and lower faces around the perimeter of the object.

A fragment of a modern lead alloy toy train carriage. The fragment contains one side of the carriage; it is decorated on one face with two wheels and the slatted carriage wall. The name 'LIVERPOOL' is written inside one of the slats. Attached to one wheel is a linear fragment, possibly a piece of track. The top of the carriage is broken. The reverse is plain and rough, suggesting that this was one side of a 3D toy and that the reverse would have been hidden inside the toy. The fragment measures 40.7mm (length) x 25.6mm (width) x 1.7mm (thickness) and weighs 3.05g. This toy fragment …

The head has either been broken off or was detachable. The maker's legend -PYE appears in relief on the lower back. Suggested Date: Modern, 1920-1960.

Lead alloy possible toy fragment. Cast flat fragment with vegetal relief texture on both its sides. It is suggested this may be part of a scenic tree, manufactured and sold alongside toy soldiers, farm animals and other items. The tree trunk would have been modelled three-dimensionally with a flat base to permit the tree to stand unaided, but branches and leaves were rendered two-dimensionally. Suggested date: Modern, 1920-1940. Length: 21.4mm, Width: 18.7mm, Thickness: 2.4mm, Weight: 1.62gms.

Lead alloy toy dog. Solid Cast model of a dog at approximately 1:32 or 54mm scale. A naturalistically modelled dog is portrayed seated on its haunches and looking upwards; it wears a collar. The solid casting suggests this is distinct from the late 19th to 20th-century products of William Britains and other toy manufacturers, which were hollow cast. It may be a novelty from a Christmas cracker; there is no sign of this figure having been detached from a larger group. Suggested date: Modern, 1900-1960. Height: 25.4mm, Width: 12.8mm, Weight: 17.7gms.

Lead alloy toy soldier. Solid cast semi-flat model representing a mounted lancer or uhlan with knee length boots, rectangular saddlecloth and round blanket roll; on one side the lance is modelled at the slope, running along the neck of a cantering horse; on the other side a hanging sabre appears. Sky blue paint remains on the trousers; the jacket was possibly red, and the horse and boots black; this could represent a continental soldier. The heads of both horse and rider are lost, as are the lower legs of the horse and the base. This figure was probably made in Germany, in a form deri…
