The War Between the States.

It's weird what you'll find at a garage sale sometimes. A while back I came across a decent sized bag of plastic soldiers from throughout the ages. Mixed in where these four small figures of Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, Abraham Lincoln, and Ulysses S. Grant.

Marx - Battle of the Blue and Gray

Also included was this tin mansion with a tiny Louis Marx and Company logo on it, that I've only recently come to recognize as part of the massive "Battle of the Blue and Gray" playset from around 1960.

Funny how there wasn't a single Confederate or Union soldier in the entire bunch though... must have all been lost in the field.
