Historical Artifacts

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!
Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world
Illustrations of the past should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world
Photos of the past should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

Thanks for the link. I genuinely thought it was too good to be from that era. And the expression on her face has a kind of attitude. Even in kids toys in my lifetime, I've only seen than in more recent figures as opposed to the 80's when I was growing up. Back then they were expressionless, even for figures from toys from well known franchises.
A question of artisan work vs. mass-produced goods, I think!
"Adolescent girl" ah that explains why her boobs look like mine
