Nuggets from the lead mountain

I have now been through the entire contents of the toolbox that was full of painted and unpainted figures, and removed everything that I think may be of use.

Part of the results of my efforts can be seen below in the form of plastic bags containing various figures.

Please click on the image to enlarge it.
The bags contain the following figures (from right to left):
  • Douglas Miniatures Crimean War figures
  • Rose Miniatures American Civil War figures
  • Hinton Hunt Crimean War and American Civil War figures
  • Two bags of assorted Peter Laing figures.
The above figures are in addition to all the painted figures that I have also removed from the toolbox.

One thing does concern me; despite all the 'mining' I have done of my lead mountain, I still have an almost full toolbox of unpainted figures!
One thing that I do need help with is the identity of the following figures.


I found them in the lead mountain and have no idea who manufactured them. Any suggestions or information would be gratefully received.

    I can't help imagine you missing a front tooth and wearing a battered prospectors hat now.

    A.W. Kitchen,

    There are certainly 25mm (the grid behind the figures is made up of 10mm squares).

    They may well be Warrior figures ... but if they are I don't remember buying them.

    All the best,

    Bob

    the figures are from a defunct range from Warrior, think the range was 1690s, all shown are gunners, if you have any others from that range i'll buy from you plus any HH, DM lads

    Old John,

    These are the only ones I have found ... and they are yours, along with the Hinton Hunt and Douglas Miniatures figures.

    All the best,

    Bob

    I was thinking, before seeing their actual identity, that those unidentified figures could stand anywhere from the English to the American Civil War...

    Archduke Piccolo,

    They are from that age when figures were made so that they were useable for more than one definite historical period. The figures could certainly be used to crew artillery from about 1675 to 1775 without difficulty.

    All the best,

    Bob

    I hope to post the figures to you on Monday.

    As to the price ... well I'm not worried about you paying for the figures as I am sure that you will find a use for them.

    All the best,
