United States for anything shipped.

Enclosed please find my balance owed. You’re great to do business with.
Mrs. H.K., West Framington, OH

I too, am trying to re-capture my youth, and to share it with my young son. As memory serves me,
there was no finer way to spend my time, then with my toy soldiers. They are now long gone, as are my old molds,
but if a chance arises, I will grasp it tightly, and hold on dearly forever.

J.J.D., Jr. Ridgeley, W.VA

Here’s the mold I owe you. I really appreciate your fast service, I expected a hassle when I had to return it.
It’s a pleasant surprise to find there are still competent and courteous people around. Your molds produce
beautiful and accurate figures. I hope eventually to own your complete line.

Mr. K.F.R., Clementon, N.J.

All of you at Castings seem to know your business thoroughly and are a shining example to all of us amateurs.
And now to work, hours, weeks and months of it. I am grateful to you all.

exciting and artistically rewarding. Why the possibilities are endless. I want to thank you for sharing your hobby with me.

Recently I purchased your starter kit. I have received it and am pleased with my new hobby. Thank you for providing me
with a wonderful opportunity to spend my free time in a creative manner and to also make a little
bit of extra spending money on the side.

M.W.S., Esquire, Indianapolis, IN

I want to send these molds to my fiancÈ Frank for his birthday. He told me this is all he wants for his birthday.
Ms. C.F., Middlesboro, MN

I generally do not write letters of Thanks for purchases made through a mail order catalog. However,
I was very pleased at the prompt delivery of my casting set and molds, and quickly discovered that everything worked great.
The miniatures which I cast with your molds came out looking great when painted and made excellent Christmas gifts.

E.A.B., Covina, CA

Since receiving my first molds about three weeks ago I have cast over two hundred figures.
I am thrilled with my new hobby.

M.C., Hebron, IN

I look forward to spending time this winter CASTING an army that can be used to "battle" my brother’s lead soldiers.
When we were kids in the forties and early fifties we used your mold #5264 to cast some 1200 figures so my job
is to create a new army to defeat that one. Many thanks for being there for "kids" who are 50 but can still play with toy soldiers between financial broadcasts.

N.Y. Financial Talk Show Host

May I close by saying, I find your castings a great hobby. I give your finished product as Christmas gifts,
as well as birthdays and special occasions. My family and friends seem to cherish these gifts more because,
I’ve taken the time to cast and paint them. Again, thanks for the many hours of pleasure, in both making the
figures and seeing the happy faces when they are received.

P.A.S., Woonsocket, R.I.

Thank you very much for not carrying an inferior product. I want to express satisfaction with your rubber molds,
especially the "War Between the States" Molds. The detail is truly exquisite and the figures created are
truly showpieces. I for one will continue to patronize you for your quality merchandise and excellent service.

M.I., Raleigh, NC

Thank you so much for your prompt service. I really appreciate the postage paid, return envelope
you supplied for returning my defective mold. Your service is above the norm and so refreshing. I’m sure
I’ll be doing more business with you in the future.

D.S., Enfield, CT

I want to thank you for your kindness in supplying exactly what I needed to make use of the metal mold
I had received as a gift. Of the dozen or so companies I deal with on a fairly regular basis Castings has consistently
been the most considerate and helpful. Even if your products were not high quality and dependable I would still continue
to recommend them to my fellow amateur craftsmen because of your way of doing business.

F.W. Hopkinsville, KY

A short note with this order to thank you for the excellent service I’ve received from your company.
Over the years I’ve done a lot of mail order business with many companies and yours is by far the best.
Most orders I send to you by mail on Monday are on my door steps by Friday.

O.B., St. Louis, MO

I am most excited at the thoughts of a casting set for my husband to make soldiers for our children (boys ages 7 & 9).
Years ago my Dad borrowed a mold and cast 3" high lead soldiers. We had hours of fun with them. Maybe it’s really
Mom that wants the casting set but most of all I’d like our children to share the happy times I had as a child.

Mrs. S.F. Lewiston, N.Y.

I not only had a casting set when I was a boy in the 1930’s but I later replaced the lost and molds for my 2 son’s in the 50’s.
That set too is gone. Now I have 2 young grandsons and am delighted to find my old friends again.

E.B., Houston, TX

I can’t tell you high delighted I am with your "adult toys". I was given some of your equipment by my teenage
boy for Christmas and it has absolutely returned me to my former childhood joys of casting lead soldiers.

J.H.W, M.D. Brainerd, MN

Having a wonderful time. Thank you for the enjoyment you have given me in my spare time, as it keeps my
mind off my other troubles. Love you all!

K.A., Carlisle, PA

I have just finished the Napoleonic figure molds that I ordered from your company last month.
I want you to know that I have not enjoyed anything so much for some time. My wife and family see them as miniature
works of art, which makes me very proud since I have never been able to draw a straight line before.

D.B. Lake Butler Prison, FL
