An other very popular theme from old manufacturers of the 1850 to 1900, the Markets
I first post a photo of a picture I found in my first book about toy soldiers :" Le monde merveilleux des soldats de plomb", by Paul Martin, which was offered to me when I was about 13

It shows a Bavarian market issued around 1850 by Allgeyer; I always loved this picture and at last, many years after I could buy one set, and two, and three
The first two are here
The third will be post when I have made the picture

I cannot really say if my sets are Allgeyer production or Heinrichsen, or even others; markets were proposed by several manufacturers
But they are quite certainly before 1920
