Dimestore Models

I've picked up a few slush cast vehicles at toy soldier shows.  I believe that these were manufactured by Barclay and Manoil.  Barclay is still in business, and are issuing (or re-issuing) the lead soldiers reminiscent of the 1930s as Dimestore Doughboys.

Below is a Barclay tank, markings U.S.A. 4562.  The manufacturer's info, on underside, states "Barclay # 43" and "Made in U.S.A."

Another Barclay (? - no markings on this model) tank, a FT-17.  There is still dirt in the hollow from wherever it was presumably dug up or recovered.  A well-played with toy.

Another Barclay, marked with # 44, which is some fanciful communications truck with forward facing guns.

Manoil (or Barclay) restored version of AA gun truck.

Signed chassis by the person who restored it.

Below is a tractor, limber, and gun manufactured by Manoil.  More toy than model, I still think it looks great.  Wheels on tractor are wood, everything else is metal.
