Items from the Civil War small accessory sprue (missing wooden canteen) The yellow pan is identical to the pan on Civil War sprues, but is most likely from a cowboy sprue, because Civil War sprues were black or silver. |
The tiny folded gloves Yes, there are two thumbs, because there are two gloves! |
Civil War Accessory Sprue Some items are no longer attached to the sprue, but are in the correct position as manufactured. Courtesy of collector Rob Colwell |
