Description: | Lead alloy toy fragment. Cast solid wheel with a central axle hole of diameter 2.4mm in a projecting housing of diameter 5.5mm and a smooth external surface with a mould line. A hollow between the axle housing and the rim is occupied by the moulded representation of [probably] eight spokes on both sides. The object is painted a dull green with a semi-matt finish. This is probably a moving wheel from a toy armoured fighting vehicle with separate flexible rubber tracks. The spoked wheel might suggest a variety of Christie suspension was represented, widely introduced in the 1930s. This find may post-date the Second World War, and may suggest either children at play on the site, which includes a disused quarry, or the deposition of domestic rubbish including broken toys. Suggested date: Modern, 1930-1960.Diameter: 12.1mm, Width: 10.4mm, Weight: 3.88gms
