You just had to say that didn't you.

Up until then, I was happy with just the Iron crosses. Now I have just taken possession
of these three and am working on others

I've been told that at one time these were given out as premiums inside breakfast cereal boxes,
but I have not been able to confirm this.

The came in Frosted Führer Flakes, Heir Great.....

Three more. I know this thread is morphed into something that
really does not belong in the Imperal forum. Sorry for that, but it
all started with German Iron crosses.

I've got 7 of 12. Finding ones still on cards and at reasonable prices
has become quite the quest.

Courage Greg, go ahead and I hope you get through this challenge!

If I'm not wrong, these are the ones you need to get:

Pourple Heart
Silver Star
Order of the Star of India
Distinguished service Medal USA
Distinguished Flying Cross USA

Good hunting!!

Greg,

Found this in a dealers case today at the local militaria show... Just had to pick it up!

He thought it was a sweet heart / miniature EK but as soon as I saw it I remembered this thread.

Great find Michael. Thanks for showing it here.
I think they fit right in to any Imperial collection. (as long as we know what they are)

Oh man, don't get me going down another rabbit hole!

Another resent purchase off ebay.

I know I have shown one of these before but for some reason I like these
little toys.

A 1870 Ek2 collectible made by the Lowell Toys Mfg company of NY.
This one is still on it's sale card and it's original plastic wrap. But slightly
damaged.

looks like you and I share the same addiction.
