Jerry Johnson Article on Civil War Cast Iron SetsBy Antique Toy World Posted May 1, 2014 In Soldiers.These are the first realistic and correct ca...st iron civilwar artillery sets observed by this cast iron toy collector who is also aserious civil war artillery reenactor. Most early cast iron artillery sets werewhimsical, colorful and no where near correct.These were manufactured in the early 1960s for the civil warcentennial by Frank L. Culp & Sons of Lexington, Ohio and were patternedafter actual drawings in civil war artillery manuals.This small manufacturing company purchased the originalpatterns from The Kenton Toy Company of Kenton, Ohio and continued making andselling horse drawn cast iron toys from these patterns. The civil war artillerysets were added to their catalog and were sold in the USA and as far away asNew Zealand.30 day money back guarantee, quick shipping, thanks.
