This lot comprises a varied collection of vintage painted cast metal miniatures and numerous chess pieces, alongside a single copper-alloy coin, all loosely stored in a clear plastic food container. The miniatures include a birdhouse, a dog kennel, two small buildings, an anvil, a ladder, and a crouching soldier figure. The chess pieces are predominantly of a traditional Staunton-esque design, heavily painted in red and black. The coin is a British “VICTORIA DEI GRA BRITT REG F D IND IMP” dated 1896. The clear plastic container features a repurposed food label with French text, including “Valeur nutritive” and “Quantité par portion,” and an affixed sticker inside reading “Doucet Auction 255.”
