SIZE: 15-1/2″ (39cm). PROVENANCE: The doll was purchased for the original owner’s daughter in 1898 on his trip to Paris to see the observatory and had remained in the family for the last 112 years. This is out of the private estate of the famous artist and astronomer William Henry Knight. W. H. Knight worked for the Bancroft Company in San Francisco and was chief cartographer and mapped California and the Pacific states in 1867 and San Francisco in the 1870s. His maps sell for $9,000 and up. According to the consignor, William Henry Knight purchased it for his daughter Bertha Knight who later married the famous actor Tyrone Power and kept the doll until her death. She also wrote the book on her father’s life entitled “William Henry Knight: a California Pioneer”. CONDITION: Body is firm, shoulder and hands show no damage or repair. There appears to be a bit of yellowy paint on inside lower corner of left eye as well as a minuscule surface flake on the upper left eyelid. Wig is so firmly glued to the head that it has not been removed and in doing so would permanently destroy its integrity. 1-10558 (7,500-9,500)

RARE 11″ STEIFF BLACK BEAR. We believe this fellow to be of Steiff manufacture from the early 20th century. Very unusual to find a black bear by Steiff, his shoe button eyes are inset with red felt background and his pads are of a gray felt (as opposed to the traditional tan felt normally found on Steiffs). Typical arm and leg configuration with cardboard disc for swiveling, excelsior stuffing, and overall a most appealing look. These black Steiff bears are purported to be referred to as “mourning bears” made shortly after the Titanic tragedy of the early 20th Century in honor of those who perished. Fur is generally in very good condition with most notable loss to left leg and some to face. Brown threading on mouth and nose is largely intact, small section missing on tip of nose. SIZE: 11″ h.

RARE 26″ AETNA GOLDEN MOHAIR TEDDY BEAR. This outstanding and large American fully jointed bear dates to pre-1920 and is brimming with charm and character. He has a stitched nose, glass eyes, a quizzical expression, felt pads, and slight back hump. Unusual to find a bear so large, he has been given a paper collar (later addition) to mimic the beloved and storied Aloysius bear from the same period. SIZE: 26″ h. CONDITION: Overall very good to excellent. Slight floppiness to neck area. 1-11064 (3,000-6,000)

TWO EARLY STEIFF TEDDY BEARS. 1) Pale plush bear with shoe button eyes, dark brown stitched nose, mouth and claws lacking button in left ear, but undoubtedly a Steiff. Nice thick plush remaining throughout. 2) Lighter colored bear has shorter hair and still has the metal button in left ear with underscored “F” mark. He too has shoe button eyes, remnants of his nose, mouth and claw black stitching and has a very round firm torso with big belly. SIZE: 14″ (35cm) each. CONDITION: 1) Has had some red dye, which has bled perhaps from a sweater onto the upper arms giving him a rainbow-like quality. 2) Lighter colored bear has had significant shifting of stuffing of the arms and legs with some moth damage to both the front arm pads and significant mohair loss to back of the head. 1-10616, 1-10617-2 (1,000-1,500)

TWO EARLY WHITE STEIFF BEARS. Larger has shoe button eyes, blank metal button in left ear, brown stitched nose, mouth and claws, and has pronounced hump on back and long forearms. The smaller also has a blank button with shoe button eyes, brown stitched nose, mouth and claws as well as pronounced back hump and long arms. Despite wear both have significant appeal. SIZE: 12″ (31cm) and 9-1/2″ (24cm) respectively. CONDITION: Larger bear has significant mohair loss, especially to face and all four paw pads have been recovered. Smaller bear also has some mohair loss with large parts of arm pads worn away. 1-10609, 1-10612 (1,000-1,500)

THREE STEIFF BEARS. All three teddies are from the late 1940s to early 1950s. The smaller of the three is a very nice white bear with the “US Zone” cloth tag on his right arm. He is glass eyed with brown stitched nose, mouth and claws. It is hard to find US Zone bears that are tagged as such. The larger gold mohair bear also has a Steiff button in the left ear and has brown glass eyes with black stitched nose, mouth and claws and is an especially chunky bear. The remaining larger bear does not have the button in the ear, but looks very similar to the gold bear which is fully marked. SIZE: Range from 17″ (43cm) to 20″ (52cm). CONDITION: Overall very good with minor stains on a few pads and minor hair loss, especially to the larger pale bear (insignificant). 1-10601, 1-10604, 1-10605 (1,500-2,000)

THREE EARLY TEDDY BEARS. 1) Largest is a cinnamon plush bear with shoe button eyes, dark brown stitched nose, mouth and claws and although no longer having a button in the ear, has pronounced qualities of an early Steiff bear. 2) Beige bear has a Steiff button in the left ear with the underscored “F” mark and has shoe button eyes, black stitched nose, mouth and claws with an inoperable side squeaker in the torso. 3) The darkest bear was at one time a cinnamon bear and is quite early due to the fairly big hump on the back and extended long arms. However, he is missing too much mohair to be able to ascribe a maker. SIZE: 14″ (36cm), 12″ (31cm) and 11″ (28cm) respectively. CONDITION: Fair to good with the cinnamon bear having the most mohair and the darkest bear having the least mohair. 1-10610, 1-10612-2, 1-10617 (1,000-1,400)

THREE TEDDY BEARS. 1) This largest of the three teddy bears has a pronounced snout, unusual glass eyes with a clear background, short ears which protrude backwards, hump on back and big belly with large round feet. 2) Has shoe button eyes, black stitched nose, mouth and claws, short arms and flat feet. 3) Smallest of the three has shoe button eyes, black stitched nose, mouth and claws having a puppy dog face and pretty gold mohair. SIZE: 18″ (46cm), 17″ (43cm) and 15-1/2″ (39cm) respectively. CONDITION: Largest bear overall very good. The two smaller bears each have shifting of their stuffing with middle size bear having one replaced paw pad. 1-10611 (800-1,200)

FOUR WELL LOVED TEDDY BEARS. Two smaller bears have shoe button eyes and the bear with the red vest has a blank button in the left ear. Both have been partially redressed possibly to conceal loss of mohair. The two larger bears also have shoe button eyes and black stitched noses, mouths and claws, but neither have a button in their left ear. The beige bear definitely has Steiff qualities; the gold one is possibly also Steiff, but we are not guaranteeing to be as such. SIZE: Two larger are 12″ (31cm) each. Two smaller are 9-1/2″ (24cm) each. CONDITION: Both of the larger bears have some mohair loss as well as some moth holes in paw pads. The smaller bears have considerable mohair loss with missing and replaced paw pads. 1-10607, 1-10608, 10612-1 (1,200-1,800)

The intricate design features eight separate colors of overlapping felt pieces, glass eyes, with an orange felt beak. The splayed feet are made of metal and are tightly wrapped in white silk thread. SIZE: 8″ h. (20 cm) CONDITION: Near excellent. 1-10381 (400-800)

15″ BLANK BUTTON STEIFF BEAR. A very fine white early Steiff bear, however, in fair to poor condition with considerable hair loss. Original felt pads on paws appear to be covered over and uniform wear overall, particularly on head and face. SIZE: 15″ l. CONDITION: Fair to poor. 1-11068 (300-500)

VERY NICE STEIFF BEAR CIRCA 1950. Pale plush bear with brown glass eyes, dark brown stitched nose, mouth and claws, jointed at head, shoulders and hips, wearing original pink silk ribbon bow tie and having a Steiff button in left ear with remnants of yellow paper tag behind.

INCREDIBLE HAND BUILT ATKINS STOVER AMERICAN OUTLINE LIVE STEAM ENGINE & TENDER. Perhaps one of the finest and most elaborate live steam engines created by a craftsman with respect to meticulous detailing as well as quality. This model of the New York and New Haven Railroad #90 was built for the consignor’s grandfather who was an iron industries magnate, a big train buff and who was responsible for building and developing the Cornwall & Lebanon Railroad. In the late 1800s, the elder Robert Coleman commissioned Atkins Stover of Brooklyn to build three trains for each of his sons. This very train ran on a custom track around Coleman’s Cornwall mansion property and was later on display at the Lebanon County Historical Society in Lebanon, Pennsylvania in the mid-1990s being on longterm loan by Robert Coleman, Jr. (grandson of Mr. Coleman, and the present consignor). A wheel configuration of a 4-4-0 with an 8-wheel tender, this particular engine is reminiscent to those that have traveled the continent in the mid to late 1800s. In very intricate detail, including miniature valves and steam lines, a boiler door, seats in the cab, lettering and scroll work, and leaf spring suspension on the tender, the boiler is fashioned of wrought steel while other parts were made from nickel, copper brass, and silver plate. The engine and tender are accompanied by their original packing crates (though one crate top has been replaced and affixed with a modern clasp). The tender crate cover is affixed with its original canvas shipping label from Col. Archibald Rogers to the elder Robert Coleman. Models/toys like these seldom come to market, let alone being as fresh as this piece, having been held in private hands for many many years. This presents a unique opportunity to the prospective buyer to purchase an exquisite locomotive and tender with family provenance extending well over a century. SIZE: Locomotive: 31″ l x 13″ h., tender is 16-1/2″ l., 4″ between flanges. CONDITION: Overall is very fine plus condition with some paint touch up to the cab and tender done by the younger Coleman many years ago. 1-11062 (15,000-25,000)

Contained within its original wooden box, this toy has been in the same family for close to 100 years. In untouched, as found condition and needing a few very minor repairs, this is a rare opportunity for collector to buy such a large and elaborate toy of this nature.

BUDDY L CEMENT MIXER ON TREADS. Fred Lundahl, founder of Buddy L, focused on play value of his toys that were manufactured. With this concrete mixer, made from 1929-1931, a young boy could actually make concrete and could build roads and foundations if he wanted to. These toys had a low survival rate as often times they were left outside. The operation of the toy was put in motion by turning the hand crank which turned gears with a clutch mechanism that could turn the drum and/or raise and lower the hopper. One the other side of the drum is the discharge chute that is controlled by a lever arrangement on the frame. With all the moving parts that had to be manufactured for this toy it is easy to see why there weren’t many made and certainly even less that survived. Finding the larger construction toys complete is a difficult task. This toy is all original and is in working condition. It was a very complex toy to engineer and produce. Buddy L also manufactured a smaller version of this toy without the treads. A very sought after toy that few collections have. SIZE: 15-3/4″ l x 16″ h. CONDITION: Overall very good plus.

LIONEL GIRL’S TRAIN SET. An unbelievable set. In an attempt by Lionel to reach a wider audience, the company created a set for girls in more cheery pastel colors. Not many were sold, making them very scarce today. This is a rare opportunity, not only to be able to find a set with all their original boxes, it even has the set box! The set includes the engine, tender, canister car, two box cars, hopper car, gondola car, caboose, and transformer. Originally coming from the original owner, they were purchased for her because, coming from a family of all boys, she was left out of much of their fun. Her brothers were not allowed to use it, and the few times she ran the train, she immediately put the set back in their boxes until the next time, which accounts for their stellar condition. The current consignor has had them for several years, just having them packed away. CONDITION: Engine has one or two tiny chips on cab roof and one or two tiny rub marks on coupler base. Caboose has one or two minor blemishes on roof. Box car 6464/510 has a few small chips on ladder and one chip missing. Set box number 15875 has two flaps with tattered edges; one box seam is loose; two flaps have brown tape on them, probably original to the set; one corner torn and retaped. 1-10532 (3,000-4,000)
