One of the things that strikes me about the objects on display is the presence of several toys. At the Calvert House, Brice House, and Maynard-Burgess House archaeologists found toys ranging from different types of marbles at Maynard-Burgess, parts of a porceline doll at Brice House, and several different toys including toy soldiers and small toy pitchers at the Calvert House.
One of the toys found at Reynold's Tavern caused us a bit of trouble during installation. The object was a toy soldier and horse made out of metal that had broken into a few different pieces. As you can see in these pictures, attaching the toy was no easy feat. It took three people to attach these pieces to the case and secure them so that they will not fall over. Thankfully after several attempts, the installation was successful.
