54mm Miniatures: Metal Miniatures: Toy Soldiers

HORSE KNOWLEDGE CENTER Meet the Horse Artist: Sculptor Patricia Crane Contact
54mm miniatures, or metal miniatures were once quite the rage. Most commonly as toy soldiers, but also toy horses and other figures, these delightful pieces were the cherished possessions of children for generations. These rare pieces are now eagerly sought by adult collectors world-wide, their value soaring as their rarity has increased.

Created to the same 54mm miniatures scale as their antique inspirations, Patricia Crane metal miniatures are cast in fine pewter and intricately hand-painted. They are designed as multi-figure sets, each of which charmingly depicts a defining moment in the world of horses and  the show ring.
