Nice condition! That brings back memories of scouring the San Jose Flea Market on Sundays with my dad in the 60s searching out vintage trains and toys. As a kid I couldn't afford cast iron toys and Lionel trains but I could pick up occasional toy banks and Manoil/Barclay soldiers for under a dollar. My older brother had hundreds back in the 70s. He made a form from a steel block and would hammer out new helmets from tin cans for these type of guys with the separate helmets. They often were without helemts, and cheaper that way ;).
