For people adoring playing and collecting toy soldiers (Elastolin, Lineol, Durso, Britains, Marx, Timpo, Starlux and many others). I am presenting images of vintage toy soldiers as a historical curiosity without endorsement of any political ideology and propaganda of war.

British RAF soldiers from GJ ☁️☁️☁️🪂🪂🪂🛫🛫🛫
GJ (Brussels, 1935-1950) brand raises many questions. GJ would be the initials of the Belarusian sculptor who made figurines for the "cheap" Belgian stores.
The figurines produced before the war bear the GJ brand under the base. The GJ figurines produced after the war (without marking) are recognizable by a style of very high quality of sculpture, and beauty of colors.

BM run production of its 75 mm composition soldiers from 1938 to 1945.
