CONDITION: Very good. 8-87663, 8-87667 (650-950)

EXTREMELY RARE SCHOENHUT TEDDY ROOSEVELT SAFARI ARAB. Perhaps the most elusive and hardest of the Safari figures to obtain, this fellow retains his original clothing, cape, head wrapping and beard. Although his accessory pieces (sword, pistol and rifle) are of newer vintage they are not a distraction to the importance of this figure. SIZE: Approx. 7-1/2″ t. CONDITION: Some distress to red cape and soiling to white fabric. 8-87669 (3,500-5,500)

RARE SCHOENHUT TEDDY ROOSEVELT SAFARI NATIVE. The native himself appears to be a very fine all original example. However, the jug he carries upon his head is of newer vintage. SIZE: Approx. 7-1/2″. CONDITION: Very fine plus. 8-87679 (1,250-1,500)

RARE SCHOENHUT TEDDY ROOSEVELT SAFARI GLASS EYED ZEBU. Schoenhut created certain animals that most people will never see in their lifetime.

CONDITION: Very fine original condition. 8-87661 (1,200-1,600)

Utilized both in the Safari as well as the circus, this is perhaps one of Schoenhut’s greatest animals that he ever produced. SIZE: Approx. 7-1/2″ h.

RARE SCHOENHUT TEDDY ROOSEVELT SAFARI GLASS EYED HYENA. A particularly fine example and it appears to have no touch-up and/or repairs. Perhaps one of the most difficult of all the Schoenhut animals to find, especially in this condition. Often the glass eyed hyena is found in the hand painted version and not the airbrushed version, such as this model. Typical of any company of the time, they would mix and match and produce whatever was needed or ordered by the distributor, toy store or customer. SIZE: Approx. 6-3/4″ l. CONDITION: Very good to fine. 8-87655 (1,500-2,500)

SCHOENHUT TEDDY ROOSEVELT SAFARI MEMBER. An unidentified Safari member, he features reddish hair, a heavy mustache with mutton chops and is attired in a green cotton outfit (of newer vintage).

SCHOENHUT TEDDY ROOSEVELT SAFARI GLASS EYED REINDEER. It seems strange that a reindeer would be included in the Safari set, but for whatever reason the firm decided that reindeer also lived in Africa. This particular example is a lifelike depiction with fine painting and detailing as well as sculptured leather antlers. SIZE: Approx. 6-1/2″ l. CONDITION: Overall very good to fine. Appears to have old reattachment of leather antlers. 8-87662 (600-800)

SCHOENHUT TEDDY ROOSEVELT SAFARI “NATURALIST”. The Naturalist is dressed differently than the regular Safari members, being in a green cotton outfit, as opposed to a khaki cotton outfit. Several different mask faces were produced for a variety of members with such features as goatees, mustaches, heavy beards, etc. Unfortunately these early creations with the mask faces were particularly susceptible to paint loss, fatiguing, etc. depending upon how and when they were stored. This fellow has had some paint enhancement to his head. SIZE: 8″ t. CONDITION: Outfit at first glance appears to be original, but it is of our opinion that it is an aged replacement. 8-87673 (750-1,250)

SCHOENHUT TEDDY ROOSEVELT SAFARI “KERMIT”. Kermit accompanied his father, Teddy Roosevelt, to Africa. Most likely the youngest member of the Safari, this fellow has no facial hair and is dressed in the typical khaki outfit. His official duties included being the photographer on this trip. SIZE: 8″ t. CONDITION: Overall good to very good. Some paint restoration to mask face and quality replacement accessories. 8-87675 (750-1,250)

SCHOENHUT TEDDY ROOSEVELT SAFARI “NATIVE” WITH DRUM. Another member of Roosevelt’s Safari team, a double duty servant and communicator with his drum.

SCHOENHUT TEDDY ROOSEVELT SAFARI GLASS EYED GIRAFFE AND LION. Two well executed carvings portraying a giraffe with glass eyes and an open mouth.

RARE 40″ STORE DISPLAY SCHOENHUT BROWNIE “MILLIONAIRE DUDE”. Palmer Cox was the creator of the mythical Brownie figures, which had enormous popularity in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Many companies such as Hubley, McLoughlin, Schoenhut, etc. created Brownie toys. It is highly unlikely that this particular piece was created for a child. More likely it was used in a store window as a display or “attention getting” purposes. Schoenhut created a series of various figures including Uncle Sam, the Chinaman, the Indian, the Millionaire Dude, etc. In an 1895 display they featured the various Brownies in their booth. At one point in time the Cliff House in San Francisco had a selection of these Brownies on display as well, but unfortunately they were dispersed and no one seems to know what happened to these figures. It appears that most, if not all, of these Brownies were enhanced and/or redressed probably during the 1940s or 50s. These are rare figures and seldom found. This particular Brownie is known as the “Millionaire Dude”. He had been in a private collection from the Midwest for many years. SIZE: 40″ h with hat. CONDITION: Body and head are in excellent condition considering their age and frailty. As mentioned above, paint and clothing enhancement/restoration. 8-87681 (5,500-7,500)

Drum player missing small section of wood at left shoulder and small section of wood on right side as well. 1-11314 (300-600)

27″ BLACK DAPPER GENTLEMAN CLOCKWORK NODDER. Of German manufacture, this black gentleman appears to be in all original untouched condition. Elaborately dressed with spats, gloves and a straw hat. He sports a big toothy grin on his face. Inset glass eyes with black curly hair, he appears to be waiting for his lady friend. SIZE: 27″ t. CONDITION: Overall very fine plus. Some dustiness and soiling especially noticeable to yellow coat. 1-11320 (2,000-2,500)

OVERSIZED HEAD OF BLACK CHILD WITH CLOCKWORK EYES. During the first half of the 20th century the use of children for advertising commercial products was the norm. From using the Gold Dust Twins for selling the soap powder to the Dionne Quintuplets virtually selling every baby product imaginable, this particular clockwork piece manufactured in Germany in the earlier part of the 20th century featured a young black boy, maybe 8-10 years of age, with parted lips and showing his teeth and tongue. When the mechanism is wound his eyes dart about the room from left to right. He has a most appealing and endearing look about him. SIZE: 12″ t. CONDITION: The plaster/papier mache head is in great original condition. Left hand might have had an aged repair to fingers. Clothing appears newer but appropriate. 1-11323 (1,500-2,000)

CLOCKWORK BLACK NODDER. The epitome of a characterization of a black man from the 1920/30s. The exaggeration of facial features such as the grin with the oversized lips, high cheekbones and arched eyebrows. Although not realistic he certainly garnered your attention. In comparison to his body not only his is head oversized, but his hands as well. When the mechanism is wound his head would nod forward and his eyes would roll upward. SIZE: 22″ h. CONDITION: Overall very good. Piece appears to have some older restoration redressing. Sign is also of newer vintage. 1-11325 (1,250-1,750)

HOYT AUTOMATED PICTURE OF BLACK FARMER. This particular picture is powered by electric as opposed to a clockwork motor. Indecipherable at first, but this fellow goes from a closed mouth to an opened mouth with a toothy grin while shifting his eyes from right to left. His movements are so slow and subtle that at first you do not notice and the observer then becomes startled. Most likely a piece of this nature was utilized in a store as an “attention getter” or a window display. Piece appears to be in all original untouched condition and possibly converted to electric at a later point in time. SIZE: 16″ w x 20-1/2″ h. CONDITION: Slight tear to paper background in upper left corner. In functional working order. 1-11209 (4,000-6,000)

RARE ALEXANDRE THEROUDE BARREL ORGAN MONKEY AUTOMATON. Mid-19th Century. This phenomenal and exquisite hand crank barrel organ automaton depicts a duet of courtly dressed monkeys flanking a central simian magician or conjurer in a room setting. The very animated magician nods to onlookers, blinks his eyes, and pulls back his lips in a smile as the objects beneath his two chalices magically transform into other objects. The two articulated musicians open and close their mouths, nod their heads, and blink their eyes while playing their cello and violin. The violin player even taps his foot to the music. Tallied at 18 separate movements, the trio is a joy to behold. The gorgeously inlaid cabinet features a central image of a young ballerina surrounded by vines and garland. Inside is a Thibouville Lamy 8-tune barrel organ providing lovely accompaniment to the captivating action of the characters. SIZE: 36″ h x 24-1/2″ w x 13″ d. CONDITION: Very good to near excellent with average wear with all movements and functions working properly. There has been some minor professional restoration to the violinist’s kid leather jaw. And the barrel organ was restored to very good working condition. 1-11378 (18,000-22,000)

CONDITION: Colors of the lithographed paper are still vibrant with all of the hand painted turned rails and columns in excellent condition. Overall definitely a superior example of this type of house. The only negative is someone had drilled two holes in the back for lights. Front of house opens with slight stickiness. 1-11432 (1,200-1,800)

CLOCKWORK MECHANICAL BEAR OF FRENCH MANUFACTURE. Most likely this toy from the early 20th century is of French manufacture and possibly by DeCamps. When wound, the bear would trudge forward in a lifelike manner and open and close his ferocious jaws while turning his head. This glass eyed fellow with rabbit fur is very lifelike and he has a muzzle placed about his mouth and more than likely he was used a a trained bear for the circus or street fairs.

RARE LEHMANN “BOXER REBELLION” TIN WINDUP TOY. An extraordinary and rare tin toy which would be the pinnacle of any Lehmann collector’s toys. Not only would this toy appeal to Lehmann collectors, but also to those who appreciate the best of the best. While intended for children as a plaything, the toy represents a far more serious and adult theme that may have gone over the heads of the children who played with it in the early 20th Century. During the occupation of China by Russia, England, France and Germany there was a rebellion against the great powers. The bloody disturbances that broke out about the 1900s, brutally suppressed by the allied troops, were lead by the Boxers, a secret society. This toy depicts personifications of the four above countries tossing a Chinese man up in the air on a blanket. An elaborate clockwork mechanism on the underside of the toy gives it a most realistic action. Typical of Lehmann, they used vibrant colors lithographed onto tin and great imagination when creating their toys. Because of the intricacy of the toy’s construction (and higher cost to produce) and perhaps the dark undercurrents represented in the toy didn’t appeal as much to children, fewer were produced making them one of the rarest Lehmann toys today. SIZE: 5-1/2″ l. CONDITION: The toy appears in near excellent all original untouched condition with some very minor surface stains and very light soiling/dustiness to the cloth.

PATENT MODEL: TOY MONEY BOX MECHANICAL BANK. A truly unique piece of history and a singular opportunity. This patent model, circa 1878 represents a mechanical bank designed by B.M. Abell and F. Brecht. This bank was submitted to the U.S. Patent office and a patent for it was granted, but the bank was never put into production. It represents President Rutherford B. Hayes cast in brass standing with his arm outstretched and is mounted to a painted tin platform. The premise was that a coin was placed in his hand, and it would drop into the ballot box at his side as if he were casting a vote, falling into the tin platform below. The side of the bank is hand painted “Vote Early and Often” in gold. The bank is accompanied by its original patent tags marked with its patent number 200,885 granted on March 5, 1878, which was exactly one year to the day from the Hayes’ inauguration. It is also accompanied by copies of the original patent papers and spec sheet showing an illustration of the bank. The lot is further enhanced by copies of an article about this bank that appeared in Antique Toy World in September 1983, an MBCA newsletter containing a write-up on the bank, as well as letters from a former owner detailing some of the history, and one by Marc Olimpio who masterfully recreated the ballot box in 1996 that had been lost from the bank many years before as per the original patent papers and description. SIZE: 6-1/2″ h x 4-1/2″ l x 2-3/4″ w. CONDITION: Overall good to very good. Tin platform shows even wear and paint chips while the figure of Hayes appears to be very good.

JUMEAU CLOWN AUTOMATON WITH ORIGINAL BOX. A sensational turn of the century automaton, most likely manufactured by RD featuring a closed mouth marked Tete Jumeau head with clown markings. Elaborately dressed in original clothing the fellow beats a bass drum with his right hand while clapping cymbals with his left hand. Not enough can be said about this rarity that has survived for over 100 years and is in remarkable, near-mint original condition. The action of the male clown turning his head wondering who is looking his way and the visual appeal of his clothing, facial painting and multi-colored coiffured hair certainly would draw the innocent bystander’s attention. The finely molded yet extremely delicate bisque hands with separate fingers are intact with no damage. The bisque head is marked “Tete Jumeau 4″ and appears to be without damage (will not disturb original wig). One should mention the wonderful stamped metal earrings along with the cone hat with bells as well as the unusually formed velvet covered base. Wooden box retains its original paper label and perhaps this is the reason this piece is still in remarkable condition. SIZE: Approx 10-1/2″ w x 7″ l x 20” t.

RARE O.D. JENNINGS GOLF BALL VENDOR/GAMBLING SLOT MACHINE. Various companies in the 1930s and 40s manufactured and produced a slot machine that would actually pay off in golf balls as opposed to coins. Oftentimes these machines were only utilized in country clubs and for many years they were kept in play long past their date of production. This particular example, manufactured by Jennings, features a handsome naturally finished walnut cabinet. A coin, usually a quarter, is deposited in the slot on the golf ball and the handle pulled. Automatic payout of a reward would be issued if the player got two cherries, three oranges, etc. Golf balls would be dispensed out the lower left corner into a cup. The front facade showed a series of golf balls in escalator fashion, thus assuring the player he would be rewarded if he hit a winning combination. A small circular window below handle is a coin return. It should be a small aluminum cup which is missing. The original back doors, one allowing access to the coin box and the second, the larger of the two, exposes the mechanism. Both doors are original and stamped with the same number. Serial number on mechanism is “140689” and on the interior cabinet wall there is also a production paper with same serial number. A great machine that is highly sought after not only by collectors of coin operated devices, but by golfers and collectors of golf memorabilia. SIZE: 18″ x 18″ x 20″ h.

ALL ORIGINAL CAILLE CAST IRON TWIN NUDE CENTER PULL SLOT MACHINE. A very desirable machine produced in cast iron or in aluminum and either with twin naked ladies or as a two column vendor. This particular example is of early manufacture with iron castings and the highly desirable apple, plum, pineapple, etc. reel strips.

The wooden cabinet is of quartersawn oak with pinstriping on either side and the typical Caille victory bell decal located on the center wood panel of each side. Wooden paneled back door is intact.

BICYCLE COIN OPERATED GAMBLING TRADE STIMULATOR. Most likely made by either Waddell or Sun Manufacturing company, the latter who produced many varied showcases from the late 1800s through the early 1900s. Fred Freid, in the 1960s, wrote an article describing and discussing the 10 most interesting and desirable machines that a collector could own, this being one of them. The bicycle being encased behind glass in a quartersawn oak cabinet with twisted rope trims is truly a unique and very appealing example. The ingenuity of the time period (early 1900s) utilized a bicycle with spinning wheels that allowed one to gamble for a reward usually of cigars, but sometimes other articles. Although this is not the rarest of gambling machines, it is one of the most appealing and highly sought after not only by collectors of coin operated devices but by those who also appreciate its art form. A nickel is deposited in the coin slot and the lever is pulled upwards causing the nickel to strike against a bell and the wheels to spin. Adding the numbers on both wheels one would compare the total to the reward chart (replaced paper) to see if one was a winner. Machine overall retains a wonderful original patina to wood finish. Bicycle itself is in very fine condition with some paper loss to wheels. Front handle/lever appears to have been re-nickeled. SIZE: 19-1/2″ w x 6″ d x 13-1/2″ h. CONDITION: Overall very fine plus.

KENTUCKY DERBY DICE TRADE STIMULATOR. More than likely this was not a toy, but rather a bar top gambling device.

Please Note: We maintain that this is a salesman sample base. At the time the salesman attached the toy Gem machine to the top, they have been together since their genesis. It is an outstanding unit.

Correction: It has come to our attention that the American Gem sewing machine mechanism on the top of this table is in actuality a toy made long ago for children. And as such, this is not a salesman sample for a complete American Gem sewing machine. However, we have concluded that while the sewing mechanism on top is a toy, the base is not. The base is most definitely a salesman sample for a well designed full size sewing machine base, which could be raised and put on casters so it could be easily rolled throughout the room or dropped down on its legs and be secured in place. It’s obvious that the seller of the full size bases must have, with a certain amount of effort adapted a toy from the period to this base so it could illustrate how their mechanism would work. Because of its detail, it is far more exacting than what you would see in a toy. The base is unquestionably an old base. This toy was not put on the base recently to make it look like a miniature or salesman sample. The two components have been together from very early on. As such, it is still a salesman sample; it’s just not a salesman sample for the American Gem sewing machine. It is a salesman sample for the base and/or the lifting mechanism. This is unquestionably a rare item and we feel a very beautiful piece of early American industrialization. We are also revising the presale estimate to $2,000-4,000.

SALESMAN SAMPLE AMERICAN GEM SEWING MACHINE. The machine itself is constructed of cast iron and mounted to a wooden table top which is supported by an ornate cast iron treadle base. The machine is enameled in black with painted floral decorations and gilt lettering. The base is also enameled in black with porcelain caster wheels and a foot activated locking mechanism. This piece is in “as found” untouched original condition and still retains what appears to be the original leather drive belt. A true rarity. Considering the dimensions and the craftsmanship of this piece, there is no doubt whatsoever that this was manufactured as a salesman sample and not a child’s sewing machine. PROVENANCE: Originally from a wealthy Baltimore family who accumulated/collected many items before, during, and after The Great Depression. SIZE: 15″ h x 10″ l x 6″ w. CONDITION: Near excellent. 1-11584 (15,000-20,000)
