From Toys to Collectables: A Century of Toy Soldiers

Dr Roger Stearn places the National Army Museum's collection of toy soldiers in a wider context. Topics covered include: famous men and their toy soldiers; the British toy soldier industry and its leading firm, Britains; and the more recent developments brought about by the end of hollow cast production in 1966. Part of the Lunchtime Lectures series - a programme of free talks that takes place at the National Army Museum in London every Thursday at 12.30pm.
