13″ ARCADE MACK GAS TRUCK.

An exceptional all original example in very fine plus condition. Rubber tires are intact over the cast hubs along with an arcade decal and the original “spark” chain hanging on the underside of rear carriage. Enameled in a dark red with gilt highlighting and a nickel plated driver. Paint, with slight alligatoring, shows typical minimal wear to edges, top of roof and tank. Overall a great example with years of shelf dust and a light cleaning would bring back the shine and luster to the painted finish. SIZE: 13″ l. PROVENANCE: From the Laurence Hapgood Estate. CONDITION: As stated above, no damage, repairs, cracks to iron castings. 49003-6 (800-1,200) – Lot 2000

IVES HORSE DRAWN DRAY.

A fine early iron toy manufactured by Ives Blakeslee during the 1890s-1910 time period. When the toy is pulled along the ground, an eccentric axle with a wire give the illusion of the horse galloping down the road. The horse itself is a well executed, finely detailed example with a japanned finish and gilt trim. The wagon is enameled in black with gilt trim and the wheels & yoke being finished in the typical orange/red enamel. Toy is basically complete and intact with the original driver and still retains one of the two “bed stakes” that prevent the barrels from rolling off the inclined dray. SIZE: 14-1/2″ l. PROVENANCE: From the Laurence Hapgood Estate. CONDITION: Overall condition is good to very good with heavier paint wear to the original driver. 49003-16 (500-700) – Lot 2002

20″ DENT POLICE PATROL.

A nice example of a classic police patrol manufactured by Dent Hardware. The only difference between the police patrol and the fire patrol would have been the seated rear figures, and in this case they are painted blue with police helmets. Drawn by two galloping horses with wire articulation to give a life like appearance as the toy is pulled along, the back end is enameled in a dark green with gilt highlighting. Multi-spoked iron wheels with simulated silver painted rubber covering them. Toy is completely original including chains from the yoke to the horses and without any issues other than needing a light cleaning to eliminate the years of shelf dust SIZE: 20″ l. PROVENANCE: From the Laurence Hapgood Estate. CONDITION: Overall very good to fine, some typical paint loss to policemen but still very good. Right rear wheel has slightly heavier flaking, paint loss to silver and yellow spokes. Wagon has alligatoring to the green paint. 49003-14 (700-1,100) – Lot 2003

ARCADE BUICK SEDAN.

An extraordinary all original example of a classic 1930s automobile manufactured by Arcade Mfg. Co. One could not hope to find a nicer example, especially with the rubber tires intact and not flattened! The roof is in virtually near mint, unscraped/chipped condition and only very minimal wear elsewhere on the body of this vehicle to the paint finish. As was the norm, Arcade had a 2-toned finish on this vehicle of a black chassis & roof and a seafoam green body. Gold & gilt highlighting with “Buick” stenciled on the radiator as well as the spare tire. Accompanying this toy is a vintage tin sign “Men at Work Except While Buicks are Passing”. SIZE: 8-1/4″ l. PROVENANCE: From the Laurence Hapgood Estate. CONDITION: Outstanding! A minor cleaning would surely remove years of shelf dust and bring back the true luster to the painted surfaces. 49003-11 (2,000-4,000) – Lot 2004

PRATT & LETCHWORTH HOOK & LADDER.

Delicate, intricately cast, visually appealing to the eye this cast iron toy from the late 19th century is a stand alone toy! The body of the ladder wagon is enameled in dark green and black with a multitude of gold highlighting, and the horses themselves are of a caramel and black coloring. As was typical of P&L, their horses varied and these handsome studs are in a full running position and attached to the yoke by means of a pin projecting into their stomachs and the front wheels are wired so as the fire wagon is pulled along the horses emulate a galloping type motion, all while the clacker on the front axle dings the bell. Another all original fine example from the Hapgood collection right down to the ladders, fireman and even three of the four chains connecting the horses to the yoke. Due to the frailty and thinness of the castings, often these toys have damage and/or repairs but not so with this one! SIZE: Overall length (not including wooden ladder) 22-3/4″ l. PROVENANCE: From the Laurence Hapgood Estate. CONDITION: As stated above, overall condition very good to fine with some flaking to top of tin behind driver’s seat. 49003-5 (1,500-2,500) – Lot 2005

PRATT & LETCHWORTH SURREY.

A nice in as found all original condition P&L one-seat surrey. As was common with P&L and their 1&2-seat series they had a pressed steel body attached to a fine cast iron framework. This particular toy has the trademark yellow wheels with red pinstriping in a nicely detailed to the max caramel colored horse. This toy is in need, and would benefit greatly, by a light cleaning to truly bring out the full colors in highlight of not only the carriage but the horse as well. SIZE: 15″ l. PROVENANCE: From the Laurence Hapgood Estate. CONDITION: Perhaps the only downside being the horse’s extended left front foot is missing the normal tin & iron guide wheel, which is often the case. 49003-12 (450-650) – Lot 2006

21-1/2″ IXL EXPRESS WAGON.

A nice all original example of an early Ives American tin toy from the latter part of the 19th century. The bed of the wagon is a dark blue with gold stenciling, and a brown stud with gold & red highlighting. The driver of the vehicle is not fastened to the seat in the normal manner, but rather by a button type affair with protruding prongs that are bent over on the underside of the tin bench seat. Overall the toy is in good to very good condition with typical/normal paint wear. SIZE: 21-1/2″ l. PROVENANCE: From the Laurence Hapgood Estate. CONDITION: As stated above, perhaps the only fault one could find with this toy is a thin wire between the two inner legs (acting as a wheel/riser) is missing. An easy and no big deal fix! 49003-18 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 2007

EARLY AMERICAN TIN PURE MILK WAGON.

Great form and possibly by George Brown, this toy has a certain aura & distinctiveness about it. The milkman seated within and directly in front are two wooden milk containers while the sides of his wagon are painted in dark blue and stenciled “Pure Milk”. The toy appears to have some paint restoration to the horse as well as roof of the wagon, but still holds significant charm and appeal. SIZE: 11″ l. PROVENANCE: From the Laurence Hapgood Estate. CONDITION: Overall good to very good with some paint restoration as stated above. 49003-3 (600-900) – Lot 2008

EARLY AMERICAN TIN HORSE PLATFORM BELL TOY.

A great classic form depicting a black stallion mounted to a tin base with large front eccentric cast wheels. I am sure that as a child played with this toy, his parents were driven to distraction or drink with the continual ringing of the bell. Smaller finely cast iron heart-shaped wheels on the rear of the platform and the larger eccentric heart-shaped iron wheels on the front allowed the child to have hours of fun and now 100+ years later this is a visually attractive “art form” for not only a toy collector but those that also appreciate treasures from the past. SIZE: 9-1/4″ l. PROVENANCE: From the Laurence Hapgood Estate. CONDITION: In all original good to very good condition with slightly heavier wear to green base. 49003-9 (800-1,200) – Lot 2009

FINE EARLY GERMAN BLERIOT PLANE WITH OB.

A classic German toy manufactured in the teens through the 1920s, this particular version features a lithographed tin body as well as wings with celluloid propellers and rudder. As was typical of the time period, toys emulated the social, economical, political, and real life objects of the period. Toy manufacturers cashed in on this new craze of flying and various firms produced in miniature form toy airplanes such as this particular example. In exceptional original condition with its original box, paper instructions, and four of the five celluloid propellers, blades still intact. When the toy mechanism is wound, the plane’s propellers will spin and wings will flap, emulating flight in motion. This toy was created in miniature form after Bleriot’s flight from France to England. SIZE: Overall length excluding rudder is 9-1/2″ l. PROVENANCE: From the Laurence Hapgood Estate. CONDITION: Overall exceptional original condition. Some oxidation to the black wheel supports. Cardboard box is intact with label, yet ever so slightly warped. 49003-2 (2,000-3,000) – Lot 2010

MARTIN MYSTERIOUS BALL.

An incredibly designed and great mechanical toy from the earlier part of the 20th century and a true case of toy form copying real life. The concept of this toy was actually a circus act for the latter part of the 19th and earlier part of the 20th century of a gentleman enclosed within a ball moving upwards in a spiral fashion and when reaching the top, he would open his ball and appear before the mystified crowds. A truly ingenious and imaginative toy which is often susceptible to damage and/or broken mechanical aspects. This particular example is in fine working order. Oftentimes the lithograph becomes soiled and/or worn, yet this example is in very good overall original litho finish. At some point and time a new string has replaced the frail cord, thus allowing the child or adult to watch this feat. SIZE: Approx 14″ t. PROVENANCE: From the Laurence Hapgood Estate. CONDITION: Overall condition as stated above. A nice example with great action. 49003-10 (1,000-1,500) – Lot 2011

EARLY FRENCH HORSE DRAWN TIN FIRE EQUIPMENT WITH FIGURES.

Included with lot are eight fireman (one lacking oval tin base) and five smaller “flat lead” horse drawn fire vehicles, perhaps of German manufacture(?).

PROVENANCE: From the Laurence Hapgood Estate. CONDITION: Some overall flaking to tin French fire pieces, but good to very good. Lead flats appear to be complete and in very fine condition. 49003-20 (400-600) – Lot 2012

DENT PUBLIC SERVICE BUS.

Without a doubt, this is one of the greatest cast iron toy buses ever manufactured by the various toy makers in the 1920s/30s time period. Two versions of this particular bus were manufactured, one with a higher roof line (this example) and the other version has a lower more sleek roof line. The bus is handsomely enameled in orange with a black louvered roof with gilt trim, nickel plated wheels, and a painted spare tire. Dent Manufacturing which was located in Fullerton (Allentown), PA primarily manufactured hardware, especially for the old style wooden ice boxes. But in the earlier part of the 20th century, up until the mid-30s, they produced toys. Unlike Kenton, Hubley, Arcade their distribution and sales were somewhat more localized and thus not the prolific amount of toys that these other companies produced were sold to the public. In the early 1990s, the Newhart family which was one of the co-owners of Dent Hardware, emptied out their basement and sold at Pennypacker Auctions a large number of original cast iron toys that had been packed away for 60-70 plus years. This particular bus was one of many that were sold at that auction, and it still retains its original sample tag. SIZE: 14″ l. PROVENANCE: From the Laurence Hapgood Estate. CONDITION: Bus is in excellent+ all original condition with some chipping to black roof and minimal chipping wear to the orange sides. 49003-1 (3,000-6,000) – Lot 2013

11-1/2″ KENTON HANSOM CAB.

A number of toy companies produced Hansom cabs, this particular cab was manufactured by Kenton and is somewhat less common than other toy company cabs. Most likely this cab was manufactured in the 1910-1920 time period and features a dapper top hatted driver sitting behind the passenger compartment. Enameled in black with a white horse and red wheels. Overall condition is exceptional other than some typical chipping to the white horse. A great toy with a great look! SIZE: 11-1/2″ l. PROVENANCE: From the Laurence Hapgood Estate. CONDITION: As stated above. 49003-13 (450-850) – Lot 2014

12″ ARCADE INTERNATIONAL STAKE TRUCK.

As far as commercial vehicles of the 1930s time period go, one would often see on the streets the various International trucks making deliveries, whether it be a stake body such as this toy replicates or panel van or oil truck, etc. Enameled in apple green with a red understake body chassis, the truck also features simulated rubber tires over iron spoked wheels. This vehicle retains its original international decals on both doors as well as its original iron tailgate. The truck is in very fine+ original condition with some flaking to tin panel behind the iron cab. Rubber tires are intact and overall excellent with a few flat spots from sitting on a shelf. A great example in great condition! SIZE: 12″ l. PROVENANCE: From the Laurence Hapgood Estate. CONDITION: As stated above. 49003-8 (800-1,200) – Lot 2015

PROVENANCE: From the Laurence Hapgood Estate. CONDITION: As stated above. 49003-4 (2,000-4,000) – Lot 2017

GUNTHERMANN DANCING COUPLE W/ OB.

Perhaps the finest example of this toy the cataloger has ever seen! If one could use the term “wet paint” this toy would fill the bill. It is understandable why oftentimes this toy is broken or the figures become dislodged from one another as only three minor soldering points attaching them can become somewhat fragile and damaged. Although this toy has some minor paint chipping, overall the body and especially the faces are in very fine+ to near mint condition. The box itself is somewhat of a “brick”…solid, crisp and strong with only slight bowing in on side panels. Mechanism is functional and most likely needing slight lubrication. Just an exceptional example and in remarkable condition for a toy that is most likely 100 years old. SIZE: Approx 7-3/4” t. CONDITION: As stated above, exceptional all original condition. 49024-1 (1,500-2,500) – Lot 2029

GIRARD FIRE CHIEF CAR WITH OB.

This toy is in near mint, unplayed with condition and it is just an out & out screamer. It retains its original $1.25 price tag from Sears & Roebuck and the two original batteries on the underside, but the lights no longer appear to be working. When examining this toy, one can come to the conclusion that undoubtedly this must have been store stock that had never been sold to a child. And it is believed that the key was probably never screwed in to the clockwork mechanism. It is unfortunate but virtually the only wear visible is what one would refer to as box wear. There are scuffs and minimal paint loss to the Coupe’s roof yet the paint is still virtually wet and shiny, the red highlight bulbs are intact, the decals are vibrant and near perfect. Even the tailgate is crisp. A somewhat common toy in most exceptional condition and although one might not collect this type of toy, one can easily appreciate this car. Not enough good things can be said about this vehicle which is probably 75+/- years old. The corrugated box has the printed label on one side depicting the car and the words “Fire Chief Siren Coupe” along with the maker’s name and address. A rare opportunity for someone who wants the best of the best. Box itself is very cheap in nature being only corrugated and one can see the red scuffs on the inside where the car sat for many years. Included are the original instructions which were folded and are somewhat frail along with another important statement regarding oiling the gears and pinions. SIZE: 14″ l. CONDITION: As stated above. 49026-1 (600-1,000) – Lot 2030

CONDITION: Clown faces have light soiling & could use cleaning, some fading to original clothing-most remaining bright, some small repairs to wood bodied dolls, otherwise working and complete. 47580-5 (900-1,500) – Lot 2032

GUNTHERMANN MUSICIAN & BALLERINA AND EARLY TIGHTROPE WALKER.

In working order, but in need of some fine adjustments to mechanism. 2) Of European manufacture and reminiscent of the early Ferdnand Martin toys, but believed to be the work of Muller & Kadeder of Nuremberg, Germany.

Within his hands he holds his balance pole (replaced). He is finely painted in appropriate coloring. SIZE: 8-1/2” l x 4” w and 10” h (figure is 6-1/2” h), respectively.

41″ FIRST SERIES MARKLIN “OLYMPIA” BATTLESHIP.

Although this boat has had a full restoration, it is still quite impressive and can stop the ordinary person in their tracks. It’s incomprehensible how this toy was made for a child in the early 20th century, why it perhaps weighed more than the child itself. Elaborate would be an understatement. This boat had 15 cannons alone, but only four lifeboats. Obviously some of the crew would be left behind. The Marklin toy company was the absolute master in creating incredible toys in miniature form from the real thing. Forgetting all the intricacies of the boat itself, the paintwork alone is second to none. It is obvious why toys of this nature are so highly sought after today. A clockwork motor with a spring the size of Rhode Island is contained within the hull, which powered the boat across many ponds and lakes. A fabulous toy with great presence. SIZE: 41″ l. CONDITION: Overall older professional restoration with appropriate aging to finish. Some probable new pieces and parts such as lifeboats, masts, etc. 45146-22 (28,000-32,000) – Lot 2037

FRENCH MUSICAL TARGET GAME.

SIZE: 14-3/4″ l x 20″ h x 6-1/4″ d. CONDITION: Some wear to corners and high spots. Various minor splits, losses and bubbling to litho while close examination reveals a couple minor repairs. Overall good to very good and working. 49016-2 (1,500-2,500) – Lot 2038

FRENCH MARBLE GAME.

Outstanding paper litho on cardboard and wood game with paper label reading “Les Torpilleur Nouveau Jeu” (The New Destroyer Game) depicting a nautical battle scene on the box lid. Box unfolds to expose two part playing field decorated as a stylized ocean scene. On one side, a vertical battleship backdrop is inserted. The base features five tracks cut with various score holes for the marbles to land in, each lane containing a wheeled tin ship, each carrying a different country’s flag (France, Britain, U.S., etc.). For game play, there appear to be two parts. One of which marbles are ejected from one side, bound for their respective score holes. For the other part, a spring-loaded mechanism catapults the ships down their respective lanes, perhaps to see which goes the farthest. Opposing decks have been set with painted lead sailors for decoration. A wonderful crossover piece for collectors of games, seafaring military collectors, tin toys, and more. SIZE: 24″ l x 13″ w. when closed. Approximately 48″ l and 12-3/4″ h when open and assembled. CONDITION: Overall good to very good. There has been some settling of the box lid with the top label exhibiting some water staining and a few nibbles. Box itself has some chips to the finish. 45146-11 (1,500-2,000) – Lot 2039

CONDITION: Overall appears to be in remarkable, virtually unplayed with condition. 49013-2 (500-600) – Lot 2046

EARLY AMERICAN TIN FALLOWS ELEPHANT BELL RINGER.

An unusual form for this early bell toy in that the base has two circular holes for the motion of the elephant to plod forward while ringing the bell. Toy for the most part is in all original paint but it appears that his four legs have had some paint touch up, most likely due to resoldering of secondary base. Smaller cast iron heart shaped wheels further add to the appeal of this unusual early American tin toy. SIZE: 9-1/2″ l. CONDITION: Overall condition is good to very good & as stated above. 49013-7 (900-1,200) – Lot 2047

EARLY AMERICAN TIN GEORGE BROWN DEXTER HORSE ON PLATFORM.

This early toy, circa 1880s has not only great form but great appeal as well. Known as the Dexter horse it has a full body, completely different than the typical American tin horses and is in a full running position and perhaps with its visual appearance, why this is sought after not only by toy collectors but others such as Folk Art or horse enthusiasts. SIZE: Approx 12″ l. CONDITION: Toy appears to be in all original untouched condition with slightly heavier paint loss to the green base, but overall very acceptable. 49013-5 (2,000-2,500) – Lot 2048

UNUSUAL EARLY AMERICAN CLOCKWORK TRICYCLE.

Not the typical clockwork tricycle that Althof Bergmann produced. This is a more stylized tricycle with a flat rectangular cover over the clockwork motor on the rear wheels. The gentleman itself has stamped brass hands & feet and the head itself is somewhat unusual being referred to as the pressed linen head (Hawkins patent). The toy is in all original as found condition and just a light cleaning to the painted surfaces would bring up a fabulous lustre to the paint. Even the tin clockwork motor cover has a fanciful stenciling which is completely different than the A.B. tricycle. Truly a seldom found tricycle with great appeal. Mechanism is wound by “backwinding” and is functional and operational. SIZE: Overall 10″ l. CONDITION: Great original condition, some deterioration to original cloth outfit of young man. 49013-1 (2,200-2,700) – Lot 2049

CONDITION: Black light inspection indicates a small amount of red touch up to the cow catcher. It appears that the engine cab has had a couple of tiny solder repairs and paint touch up. 49013-3 (2,500-3,500) – Lot 2050

EXTREMELY RARE FRANCIS, FIELD & FRANCIS PHILADELPHIA EXPRESS.

Francis, Field & Francis is considered to be the first manufacturer of production tin toys. This company’s toys are for the most part rarer than hen’s teeth and it is abnormal to find larger pieces such as this. In fact, according to the consignor, this is believed to be the only surviving example. A rare opportunity for a collector to acquire a piece of American history. Being located in the Philadelphia area, it made sense for them to name the piece “Philadelphia Express”. More than likely, this particular toy was made and sold by a local Philadelphia company. The wagon itself has elaborate punched tin sides with an attached seat for the driver. This toy was never made with a driver and/or horses and was strictly a pull toy for the young child. In as found untouched, all original condition. There appears to be no repairs or paint enhancement whatsoever. SIZE: 12-1/2″ l x 5-3/4″ w. CONDITION: Overall very good condition with uniform wear commensurate with age, but especially strong paint to the cream colored bed with ever so slightly heavier paint wear to left side of wagon. For the most part, the lettering is intact and quite legible. 48379-5 (15,000-20,000) – Lot 2051

INCREDIBLE EARLY AMERICAN TIN MERRIAM DOUBLE HORSE EXPRESS WAGON.

At first glance, one notices the fanciful lettering/stenciling on the wagon itself. So well executed and not the typical lettering and pinstriping. Even the attachment of the horses to the wagon is not what one usually sees to eyelets on the bottom of the wagon and hooks on the horses yoke as opposed to the typical soldered wires directly to the yoke. In really beautiful original condition for a toy that is 125+ years old. Great form and great presence! SIZE: 22-3/4″ l. CONDITION: Blacklight inspection reveals no discrepancies other than a couple of spots on the white horses where the wires had been resoldered with absolutely minimal paint touch up. 49013-8 (2,000-3,000) – Lot 2052

EARLY AMERICAN TIN ALTHOF BERGMAN CLOCKWORK “LION” LOCOMOTIVE.

A marvelous heavily detailed early American tin clockwork engine with articulated front end. This locomotive has an engine cab with “fire hydrant” windows, unusual large cast iron drive wheels, great simulated head lamp, but perhaps the finest feature being the articulated front end. This is a standalone toy that needs no apologies or passenger car accompaniments. Please take note that it is unusual to find these early locomotives with sand domes and/or running boards covering their large drive wheels such as this example. SIZE: 12″ l. CONDITION: Paint appears to be all original except some touch up to the red on the sand dome. 49013-4 (3,250-3,950) – Lot 2053

HULL & STAFFORD EARLY WINDUP LOCOMOTIVE.

EARLY AMERICAN TIN FINE GROCERIES WAGON.

ALTHOF BERGMANN CLOCKWORK TRICYCLE.

A classic early American tin clockwork toy with patent dates from the 1870s. This young gentleman sits upon the bicycle seat with the clockwork mechanism directly behind him encased in a fanciful painted stenciled tin covering. Overall this toy is in very fine original condition including the boy’s clothing which has some fading and minor distress.

PRATT & LETCHWORTH HORSE DRAWN LANDAU.

A classic clean, all-original landau from the 1890s era. The elaborate pressed steel and iron wagon is drawn by the typically well-defined and elaborately painted white stallion. Oftentimes, this particular toy, due to frailty, has lost its rear wheel covers, but not so with this particular example. The carriage body is primarily stamped steel with a simulated iron rug mat and cast iron tufted seat. A visually very delicate toy that was the normal mode of transportation during this time period. SIZE: 16″ l. PROVENANCE: Ex-Bob & Jackie Stewart collection. CONDITION: Overall very good plus, still retaining front guide wheel on extended front foot of horse. 49089-1 (600-900) – Lot 2059

IVES PENNY CANDY SCALE.

Manufactured by Ives-Blakeslee in the latter part of the 19th century, this fancifully cast iron penny scale displays a young lady with her basket in her lap facing her brother, perched on the center of the scale with a simulated woven basket on the other end. The supposed concept was a penny was placed in the young lady’s basket and candies or other goodies were placed in the wicker basket on the other end. Obviously this toy, or should we say, functional scale, would have been found in the general store or candy shop of the time period. Most elaborate and highly detailed iron castings and polychromed in a variety of colors as well as japanned highlighting throughout. In very fine all-original condition. Oftentimes this piece is in poor condition and/or missing the simulated wicker basket. A great visually attractive item appealing to both toy collectors and general store collectors. SIZE: 9″ l. PROVENANCE: Ex-Bob & Jackie Stewart collection. CONDITION: Overall exceptionally strong japanning and highlighting with good plus paint condition to both figures.

4 ARCADE AUTOS AND AC WILLIAMS TRUCK.

The following five toys came from an elderly gentleman who has had them for decades and for the most part, they are in virtually unplayed with condition. Three of the four Arcade cars have original decals and all four have the typical signature Arcade rubber tires. These four cars would be ideal on the Arcade car carrier if you have one without the vehicles. Overall they are very fine+ with slightly more chipping to the red and blue roadsters. The take-apart Williams truck is most unusual, not only in the fact that they employed three different colors, but the vehicle itself is seldom found. Rubber tires are intact and have some alligatoring, but original. This truck is in remarkable original paint condition. SIZE: Varies from 5″ to 5-3/4″ l. CONDITION: As stated above. 49014-2 (750-1,250) – Lot 2062

LARGE BLACK CLOCKWORK STORE AUTOMATON.

At first glance, one would think this is of German manufacture, but this particular piece was made in Chicago during the early part of the 20th century. Somewhat illegible lettering on the back of the figure indicates copyright and the company’s manufacturer. An extremely heavy piece, the wire armature body covered in plaster has black caricature facial features. When mechanism is wound, his eyes slowly shift from right to left. Within his hands he holds an advertisement for White Cat cigars from a Baltimore tobacco shop. Interesting in nature, his shirt is actually molded plaster as is his face, hands and boots, but his pants and shirtsleeves are cloth. Clockwork is in working order. SIZE: 23″.

COMICAL BLACK CLOCKWORK STORE AUTOMATON.

Young fellow, most likely made in Chicago would have been placed in a store window to attract attention of passers by drawing attention to the store merchandise.

In remarkable original condition with only a small amount of damage to fingers. He has great appeal and presence. As opposed to the previous lot, this is just the bust versus the full body of the previous lot. SIZE: 25″ h. CONDITION: Head restored.

11″ WHITE STEIFF BEAR.

It is not too often that a bear comes fresh to the market from the original owner, please read her story below. This little fellow has glass eyes, unfortunately he needs a patch over his left eye socket. He retains his original script Steiff button in the ear and perhaps through the years of loving, he has an expression that is quite appealing. His head and nose tilt slightly to the left, thus giving him a quizzical look or perhaps a look of understanding. His white fur is somewhat matted with some loss overall, most notable to a little on his tummy and in the center of his back by his shoulders. A cute bear but a great story. SIZE: Standing is 11″ (28cm). Sitting is 8-1/2″ (22cm). PROVENANCE: This Steiff bear was a gift to me when I was born August 25, 1925. My German paternal grandparents gave it to me. We were constant companions for three years while my parents tried to find help for me, I was born without a left hip socket. I do not recall when my little companion lost his eye. Maybe it was from too much cuddling? I will be 90 in August and I am seeking a good home for him as I need to dispose of my lifelong treasures in order to meet my expenses. I am hoping that someone will love him as much as I have over the past 90 years. –Ailene Beady. CONDITION: As stated above, felt pads overall are very fine, left foot pad has some minor loss.

24-1/2″ PHONOGRAPH TETE JUMEAU.

Which came first…the Phonograph Jumeau or the Edison Talking Doll?? The Edison version was marketed first and then the Jumeau version a few years later. Both were most ingenious creations from the latter part of the 19th Century however the Edison version was a commercial failure while the Jumeau version was quite a bit more successful due to its interchangeable records that were also more durable than the wax records of the Edison model. This particular example features an open mouth Tete Jumeau with fine bisque, blue paperweight eyes, and a fully jointed marked “Jumeau” composition body. Attractively dressed in an appropriate Bebe styled outfit with one record present. SIZE: 24-1/2″.

FINE EARLY GEORGIAN WOOD DOLL.

Most likely this doll is from the late 1700s/early 1800s and the painted surfaces on this doll appear to be in original finish. The clothing is old and quite aged, but not original to her. More than likely, at one point in time, this doll had simplistic arms and legs, which have subsequently been lost. Yet, her overall appearance is outstanding and elegant. At some point a long time ago, a mother redressed this doll and made cloth arms and a bunting below her torso. The painted facial features include a minuscule but well-defined mouth, exaggerated cheek blush, and painted intense eye features. A great package, which could only be better if her extremities were still present, but still a desirable and appealing early doll. SIZE: 12″ h overall. Head to bottom of torso is 6-1/2″ h. CONDITION: Blacklight reveals no paint enhancement. Carved wooden nose has been somewhat worn down with age and devoid of paint. 37883-2 (2,000-4,000) – Lot 2161

CAILLE BUSY BEE TRADE STIMULATOR.

A great cast iron machine circa 1900/1910 time period in original nickel plated finish. This classic trade stimulator is fresh out of the attic consigned by a young lady from New York State. The player could deposit 1 up to 5 nickels turn the wheel on the side and the color wheel would spin about. Rewards would be paid to the winner anywhere from 2 to 10 nickles in trade. Machine is complete & intact other than the missing lock for the back door.

Mechanism appears complete but in need of some minor repair for proper play. Just a nice fresh all original machine! SIZE: Approx 15″ t.

ALL ORIGINAL BAKER BOY GUM VENDOR.

A classic coin op vender manufactured by Manikin Vendor Co. of Portland, OR. The figure, a baker, is one of four various figures used within this machine. When the penny is deposited and lever on the right side flipped, the gentleman within retrieves a gumball from an opening door and then depositing it into a chute for the child to receive. These machines had a simple yet complicated mechanism and oftentimes they were troublesome and high maintenance. NOT the case with this particular example. Great action and fun to watch! Machine appears to be in all original untouched condition, however it must have been in a smoky environment and quite possibly would clean up to its original bright coloring(?). SIZE: Approx 16″ t. CONDITION: As stated above. 45286-11 (4,000-5,000) – Lot 2192

COLUMBUS MODEL 36 ONE CENT GUM MACHINE.

A great all-original diminutive gum machine. It is hard to believe that this machine did not often disappear from the locations in which they were utilized. This tiny machine has large visual attraction, and could literally fit in someone’s coat pocket. Enameled in dark red with a plethora of gilt pinstriping and highlighting, the mechanism was a simplistic beyond belief. A coin is dropped in and the black lever on the side is pushed in, dispensing a single tab of gum. Machine is in great original condition and a light cleaning/polishing would make the overall appearance pop. This machine appeals to collectors of both iron machines and cast iron toys as well. SIZE: 8″ h x 5″ w. CONDITION: Fresh from the attic and just in need of some minor lubrication and a key for the front panel (lock intact). 48252-1 (1,500-2,500) – Lot 2193

Wooden parts have likely have various coats of lacquer over the years, but very acceptable in appearance. 1086-12 (1,000-1,500) – Lot 2194

MUTOSCOPE OLD MILL VENDING MACHINE.

A visually attractive machine that contained candy or other edibles. When the coin was deposited in the slot and the knob turned, the windmill blades would push the product to the chute and deposit the prize to the receptacle in the lower left corner for the child to retrieve. The motif is a Dutch windmill, which the cast aluminum front allowed an attractive, multi-colored facade that would draw the viewer’s eye to this 1920s coin-op vendor. An incredibly simple mechanism, but most appealing, these machines were a mainstay in many various locations. Machine is on its original base, which is set for eye level of children. Castings are intact and even the original money box (needs minor solder repair) is retained within. A good solid original machine and as one would expect, just like a carousel animal, over the years, the paint has been touched up and enhanced. SIZE: 52″ h (on stand) x 17″ w x 12″ d. CONDITION: Good working order, otherwise as described above. 1086-5 (2,000-3,000) – Lot 2195

WATLING 25 CENT ROL-A-TOP BIRD OF PARADISE SLOT MACHINE.

Perhaps one of the most visually attractive of all the Rol-a-Tops with the cornucopia cascading a bevy of different fruits and vegetables with the bird of paradise at the bottom of the horn of plenty. This was a most popular and heavily used machine in France in the 1930s-40s as was this machine. This particular unit features gold award, a vendor front, as well as skill stop option. Machine is in good, operational condition, but is in need of some minor lubrication. And as was typical, when the French utilized these machines, the coin Rol-a-top section has been disengaged and a straight coin drop detection system has been utilized. An older restoration to both the castings and the wood. Nice clean mechanism and still retaining its original Watling cash box. SIZE: 15″ w 15″ d x 26″ h. CONDITION: As described above along with a replaced back door. 1086-7 (2,000-3,000) – Lot 2196

5-CENT POLK STYLE FIGURAL SLOT MACHINE.

This particular machine in an original Mills War Eagle, circa 1930s, which was fit into the chest of a carved wooden Indian. Dick DeLong from Pennsylvania started carving various figures in the style of Polk, and using original machines and would place them into his figures. Obviously the classic choice for an Indian would be the Mills War Eagle. Dick used an oversized elaborate coin casting upon which the chief stands. In his left hand he holds a tomahawk and a spear in the other. Machine is in operational condition, nicely restored original castings and beautiful original tin reel strips. Machine has great action and would benefit from a light lubrication. SIZE: 69″ to top of head (excluding feather headdress). CONDITION: As stated above with replaced steel back door. 1086-8 (2,000-3,000) – Lot 2197

PACE ONE CENT BANTAM SLOT MACHINE.

A great three quarter size slot from the 1930s era, most prevalent in general stores, candy shops and other similar venues. The front casting has three windows that actually would have displayed gumballs and the right hand side would have a vendor to dispense said gumballs. A compact and somewhat lightweight machine that could easily be tucked away in the event of a raid. A nice original machine with an older restoration, still retaining its original paper strips in very good condition and is operational. SIZE: 14″ w x 14″ d x 21″ h. CONDITION: As stated above, machine has been sitting for many years. Would benefit from a light lubrication. 1086-14 (1,000-1,500) – Lot 2198

ONE CENT MUTOSCOPE WITH “NAUGHTY” REEL.

Over the years, Mutoscope made many various models, and this was one of the more simplistic units produced. Even today, these machines are still being operated at certain amusement parks around the country. This particular example is on a steel framed pedestal set for child’s height with the viewer set atop and the original iron marquee depicting what was showing that day atop the viewer itself. These machines were a goldmine for an operator, producing huge returns and virtually within less than a minute, the operator could change the reel bundle and marquee so the person would have a constant new selection of images. Very rarely were these machines inoperable. Perhaps changing a light bulb or unjamming a coin were the typical problems of the day. Of course, it took several pennies to see the entire reel and one could not stop after just one viewing. Machine is good and solid, reel bundle is nice, original marquee and marquee card. As expected, the original finish has been touched up and enhanced over the past 75+ years, but still very acceptable in appearance. The reel depicts a lady in various (for the time) somewhat provocative poses and in various states of undress. Oh my! SIZE: 64 ” h to top of marquee. CONDITION: As stated above. Light bulb flickers, most likely in need of some minor rewiring. 1086-13 (1,000-1,500) – Lot 2199

5 CENT AMERICAN COIN FRONT ROL-A-TOP SLOT MACHINE.

A visually attractive machine from the 1930s that was sure to catch the prospective gambler’s eye. The cascading coins from the cornucopia including buffalo nickels and Indian head pennies as well as the circular movement of the coins enthralled the players. Machine has an older restoration, but retains its original tin strips, which are still in good condition, original cash box, but it appears the wooden cabinet was likely replaced when the machine was restored many years ago. A classic machine and highly sought after by collectors of coin-op as well as the novice person who finds the overall appearance attractive for their gameroom. SIZE: 15″ w x 15″ d x 26″ h. CONDITION: Mechanism working but somewhat sluggish. In need of some minor lubrication. Metal back door is an older replacement. 1086-6 (2,000-3,000) – Lot 2200

ONE CENT LITTLE DUKE SLOT WITH VENDOR.

Over the years, Jennings manufactured many different styles of slot machines. Obviously the goal was to produce a machine or a front casting that would attract prospective players. No other manufacturer from this time period (1930s) produced a disc style machine that deviated from the typical three reel slot one typically saw. Further attracting the player, a large single window jackpot is on the lower right front of the casting. And to navigate around gambling laws of the day, a side vendor dispensing a piece of gum was added to the side of the machine. A totally unique mechanism from other Jennings machines, it utilizes three concentric disc reels. Machine also has more desirable, larger coin head and retains its original back door and cash box within. A nice older restoration, but the machine has been sitting for years. While functional, it would benefit from a light lubrication. SIZE: 25″ h x 12″ d x 17″ w. CONDITION: As stated above. 1086-4 (1,750-2,750) – Lot 2201

ORIGINAL TWO-WHEELED BICYCLE TRADE STIMULATOR.

A really fabulous untouched, all-original example of a most visually attractive and interesting gambling device from the early 20th century. Normally on the case is a metal Sun cabinet tag or celluloid Waddell Manufacturing tag. In this case, there is a small rectangular decal, which unfortunately is somewhat worn and illegible. The only decipherable portion reads “St. Louis, Missouri”. A fanciful oak cabinet with rope twist front columns as well as a larger rope twist on upper wooden panel. The bicycle within is all original including the paper on the lead wheels, but even more amazing, the original instructions and the rarely found award card are intact! Machine has great play action and a light polishing to the original finish on the cabinet would truly enhance the overall appeal. If one could find a negative aspect about this machine, perhaps it would be the original coin drawer is missing. SIZE: 19-1/2″ l x 13-1/2″ h x 5-3/4″ d. CONDITION: As stated above, top wooden panel has small piece of wood corner missing from left rear corner (1-1/2″ x 1″) but not terribly distracting or detracting. The originality of this machine is wonderful. 45286-13 (7,500-9,500) – Lot 2202

RARE 5-CENT/25-CENT MILLS DOUBLE DEWEY SLOT MACHINE.

From an eclectic collector, this machine has been buried away for 30+ years in a west coast home. Single uprights themselves are quite impressive, but doubles have a real “Wow factor”. Starting with a good solid original machine, the wooden cabinet has been restored and mellowed to a really nice finish. The iron castings, plated decades ago have a beautiful patina to the black oxidized finish. The tin color wheels within are original and are overall in very good plus condition. And even the reverse glass windows, although replicas, have aged nicely and almost give the appearance of being original. Both mechanisms are functional, the nickel needing a few minor adjustments and the quarter also needing a few minor adjustments including the leather payout strap that needs to be reattached to the payout wheel. This is not a big deal, just needing a little fine tuning and lubrication should resolve the issues. The iron castings are original for the most part except the two front head plates, which are older iron replicas. A couple of internal, but not visible repairs have been made to coin head castings. A great machine and virtually ready to move into your home, gameroom or office. SIZE: 51″ w x 18″ d x 66″ h.

EXTREMELY RARE “WINE COCA” CERAMIC SODA FOUNTAIN SYRUP DISPENSER.

In 1863 a French chemist created a new beverage that combined Bordeaux wine and cocaine from coca leaves. It was called “Vin Mariani”, sold as a remedy for fatigue & exhaustion, and proved so wildly popular that even Queen Victoria became a customer. Pope Leo XIII was so fond of it, he awarded it a Vatican Gold Medal. The craze eventually captivated the U.S. and caught the attention of Dr. John Pemberton of Atlanta who in 1885 concocted his own wine & coca version he called “Pemberton’s French Wine Coca”. When Atlanta introduced Prohibition in 1886, Pemberton replaced the wine in his beverage with sugar syrup, renamed it “Coca-Cola” and marketed it as the “temperance drink”. It was first sold at Jacob’s Pharmacy in Atlanta in May 1886. While “Coca-Cola” was being launched, Pemberton continued selling his non-alcoholic “French Wine Coca”, in an ever increasing, nationally competitive coca wine beverage marketplace. Upon Pemberton’s death in 1888, businessman James C. Mayfield bought a managing share of the Pemberton Medicine Co., but not the rights to the Coca-Cola formula. He eventually reincorporated the business in 1894 as the “Wine Coca Co.” It’s long been speculated that this “Wine Coca” dispenser has ties to the early roots of Coca-Cola, but definitive proof can’t be established at this time, due in part to the destruction of Coca-Cola’s early records relating to this part of it’s history. It remains one of two such “Wine Coca” dispensers known to exist and carries with it one of the most intriguing historical narratives of that era. It was a generation that witnessed the inception of the American soda fountain in the corner drug store at a time when quack patent medicines and narcotic remedy cure-alls collided with Prohibition and the Pure Food and Drug Act. The dispenser consists of an ovoid shaped vessel supported by three tall, graceful hollow ceramic legs with molded acanthus leaf patterns. The legs have gilt pinstripe highlighting with small sprays of hand-colored hawthorne blossom transfer decorations. The body of the dispenser has large, beautiful hand-painted hawthorne blossom transfers flanking the hand-lettered “Wine Coca – 5C” product advertisement. The top has a raised collar which likely held a ceramic lid which is missing. The bottom of the bowl has a hole for a spigot which would have been used to dispense the beverage syrup into glasses before adding soda water. SIZE: 17″ t. CONDITION: Very good to excellent; flowering hawthorn decorations are in near excellent original condition. The “Wine Coca” lettering shows some wear. There has been a repair made to the raised collar which has been painted a light cream color. Missing lid and original spigot. 48368-1 (4,000-6,000) – Lot 2287
