Toys

Quite a few toys were found at the various sites in Hampden. These range from more recent army men to clay marbles. Below are some interesting porcelain pieces with which some little girl in Hampden once played. Be sure to note their size as both items are quite small.


This is the head of a Frozen Charlotte doll. These dolls were small, solid items with no movable limbs. If you go to the following site and scroll down just a little, you can see a complete doll with some information about the history of the doll.

Above is half of a toy porcelain saucer. This could have been part of a toy tea set.
