Inspired by an old tin cast aside at a favorite salvage shop. The Olde Biddy took pitty and thought , of coarse, a Tin Soldier. This want to be, patriotic warrior, not quite old enough for battle, is content to serve as ordered. Sounding out maneuvers with his hand made drum, and being a comfort to the troops playing his fife as they march on.                                                                        A lot of time and effort in bringing together this One Of A Kind drummer boy. The tin is hand painted, the drum and fife, and the old clay pipe in his hat were all fashioned especially just for him.  He has vintage thread spools for legs, a black and white wool bed roll on his back and at his feet the regulation  standard  provision of BEANS.  His paper mache head, and hand painted face may be still sporting a smile, but his once youthful, nieve full of beans exuberance has become just- FULL OF BEANS.
