LOT OF TWO OPTICAL ILLUSION TOYS. Interesting Victorian era toys that utilized a series of still images that when viewed in succession through the device would give the illusion of movement. The earlier Milton Bradley Zoetrope (label on bottom of drum) utilized a spinning cardboard drum on a wooden base in which the viewer would look through narrow slits cut around the perimeter. The successor to this concept, known as the Praxinoscope was an improvement, replacing the slits with a circle of mirrors, giving a less distorted view of the action. This example consists of a tin drum on a wooden base. The Zoetrope includes 15 two-sided strips while the Praxinoscope includes 9 single sided strips for a variety of amusing shows.

EXCEEDINGLY RARE EARLY AMERICAN FIREHOUSE AND HORSE DRAWN PUMPER. Believed to be only one of two known complete examples to exist today! The second one is believed to be pictured in Barney Barenholtz’s book. Oftentimes it is hard to decipher exactly who manufactured what and when, this appears to be a collaboration between Merriam (manufactured tin toys) and Reed (manufactured wooden toys). The question being did Reed make the firehouse for Merriam or did Merriam make the horse drawn pumper for Reed? Either way it’s a remarkable toy most likely produced during the 1870-1880s time period. The pumper itself is approximately 7-1/2″ in length drawn by a set of painted tin white horses. A painted tin silhouette driver and a painted tin silhouette fireman standing behind boiler. Pumper itself is constructed of wood and decorated/painted in appropriate colors. The firehouse is primarily constructed of wood with gold stenciled simulated windows & cresting applied to the red firehouse. Most intriguing is the operation of this remarkable toy, the hinged gray roof opens exposing the simplicity yet ingenuity of this toy. 1) A lever on the back with a wooden hammer allows the child to strike a bell within. 2) A cord allows the window above the front door to open and a hand painted tin silhouette figure of a fire man pops out of top window. 3) A second cord is pulled opening the front doors of the firehouse. 4) A lever is lifted and the pumper urgently rushes out of the firehouse by means of a rubber band while staying in a straight line due to the grooved flooring. The operations are most simplistic with perhaps only a new rubber band needed for the propulsion of the pumper and possibly a replacement string. This toy appears to be 100% original, including an aged, dried out rubber band on underside of pumper. A unique opportunity to purchase an extraordinary early American toy for ones collection. Although this toy is somewhat diminutive in size that is perhaps one of the reasons it is so impressive and appealing and easily could fit in without consuming a large of display space. This was one of Steve and Diane’s favorite toys, which they purchased many years ago at a Maine auction, at that point in time it was a fresh to the market, out of the attic find! Upon close examination and studying this toy, virtually any toy collector could become enthralled and desirous of adding this to their collection. SIZE: 11-1/2″ d x 8″ w x 8-3/4″ t. PROVENANCE: The Diane and late Steve Olin collection. CONDITION: Overall toy appears in 100% all original, untouched, as found condition. Possible very amateur aged repair to left horse, reattaching to external wire? Exterior of firehouse displays 100+ years of light soiling to finish, and tin figures show some typical paint loss, but overall are more than acceptable. 1-13273 (7,500-12,500)

COLUMBUS SPIRAL BLOCK TOWER BY BLISS WITH ORIGINAL BOX. An amazing paper on wood toy with this being the only known example in remarkable condition with its original box. At the time period this must have been quite a complicated toy for a young child to assemble, obviously parental help would have been needed. It stands an amazing 5 foot plus high to the top of Columbus’s flag (not original to toy). When a marble or wooden ball is dropped down through the spring type tubing it cascades about, finally reaching the lower level and hitting one of the comical see-saw figures. It is hard to believe that over the years pieces of this toy did not become separated or lost! About the various levels are lithographed blocks with lettering on one side and figures on the other. The various wooden platforms also have a bevy of lithographed paper with lettering. A somewhat fragile and delicate toy and yet visually and ascetically quite pleasing to the eye. One can imagine that this toy, due to its complexity and frailty, was not a commercial success thus it is quite evident why this toy is so obscure/rare and highly sought after by collectors. Adding to the allure of this toy is the fact that the Olins purchased it from renowned toy collector and ATCA member Herb Siegel. To put it in simple terms, this is a “once in a blue moon” opportunity. SIZE: 5 feet. PROVENANCE: The Diane and late Steve Olin collection. CONDITION: Overall exceptional original condition with paper largely intact. Most noteworthy is some distress to one flag on upper level and Columbus lacking tiny piece of wood on hand to keep flag in place. Coloring is vibrant and strong and this toy appears to have had very little use and/or exposure to the sunlight. 1-13274 (7,500-12,500)

EXTREMELY RARE SALEM WITCH TOY WITH ORIGINAL BOX. Early patent dates of 1867 & 1868 by Charles T. Ford were filed for this unique and interesting toy. According to the dial, this toy was manufactured by E. Trask and referred to as “The Salem Witch”. A “fortune wheel” in front of the witch with numbers 1-17 would indicate your fortune. This cataloger is not sure if this was a child’s toy or more of an adult curiosity? The seated figure is dressed in a dark polished cotton outfit and when activating a lever, her hand would spin the wheel and her well detailed wooden painted face would turn from side to side. A remarkable toy in all original condition. Only a handful of these are still known to exist and most likely due to the fact that it was perhaps a dark oddity. SIZE: 6″ h x 6″ w. PROVENANCE: The Diane and late Steve Olin collection. CONDITION: As stated above, minimal distress to outfit as well as paper on fortune reel. 1-13272 (4,500-5,500)

Manufactured by J. & E. Stevens Co, an unprecedented example of a somewhat often found bell toy, when comparing the gold-wash version side-by-side with this polychromed version, the differences and appeal are monumental. Even more so, it is a great find to have an original wooden box (inc. name of toy and manufacturer stamped on box) for a bell toy! Originally this toy surfaced in the Adamstown, PA, area and was immediately purchased by a collector. Bob and Jackie were fortunate enough to purchase this toy from that collector many years later.

The ingenuity of this particular manufacturer allowed a small amount of water to be added to the bulb and by means of a rubber hose and the child blowing into the hose, the enameled brass bird would make a lifelike warbling sound while his tail feathers and beak fluttered.

EARLY AMERICAN TIN TRAIN SET WITH TWO PASSENGER CARS. Most likely manufactured by George Brown during the early time period this diminutive train set has a early or somewhat primitive overall look.

LATE 19TH CENTURY EARLY 20TH CENTURY CLOCKWORK BOAT. Of unknown manufacture but more than likely produced by some small firm as it is too well executed to be a homemade toy. Constructed mostly of wood with vibrant original painting (some alligatoring to finish) having a very large and somewhat complicated wind up motor within its hull to activate the 4 bladed propeller. The hull for the most part is one large piece of wood, which has been shaped and hollowed out, containing the clockwork motor. The cabins on the deck for the most part are painted wood with the exception of the pilot house which is painted tin and a painted tin structure covering the motor. More than likely it had two wood masts which are presently missing. It has an adjustable front rudder on the bow, which is a bit of an oddity and lacking rudder at stern. A very interesting and unique boat that has a certain appeal, especially due to its overall originality. Clockwork mechanism is untested but appears complete and functional? SIZE: 29″ l. CONDITION: Overall very good to fine. Main paint loss to top railing edges. 7-70453 (1,000-2,000)

Petite in size, which is unusual in itself, the bow of the boat has a painted American shield, 4 lifeboats, a pair of masts with crows nests and the original paper flags. Most intriguing is the original cardboard box (detached top flaps), picturing the toy, Cruiser No. 35. More than likely this toy was manufactured at the beginning of the 20th century when patriotism was high and the Great White Fleet itself was traveling around the world. As mentioned earlier this particular toy is usually found in the larger size, although somewhat smaller the overall presence, paint work, adornments make this a most impressive and desirable toy. This is the type of toy that can and should stand by itself and although you might not be enamored with friction toys this particular piece is a complete collection in itself. SIZE: 13″ l. CONDITION: In very fine, all original, untouched condition with some uniform minor flaking throughout. 1-13633 (1,500-2,500)

Toy is virtually in near mint, unplayed with condition and the clothing which often deteriorates with age is overall in pristine condition showing little signs if any of any fading and/or wear.

The girl skipping rope example is seldom found but this particular version was not even pictured in Blair Whitton’s book on clockwork toys.

Toy appears to be in all original as found condition with possible exception of a missing top finial to the top wood enclosure. China doll is dressed in a brown muslin/cotton outfit with trims and a bevy of undergarments. Due to the action of the toy and frailty of a 120+ year old fabric, possible aged replacement of figure’s outfit.

Boiler front painted in yellow, but having a different style stenciling applied to the front of the boiler, and to the cowcatcher as well! Normally the boiler front is painted wood. On this particular toy, it is painted tin and perhaps an indication that this was an earlier version and for cost effectiveness a wooden front was used in later versions.

FRIENDSHIP HAND FIRE PUMPER. An interesting model manufactured by Colark Ship Model Co. of Philadelphia, PA from the early 1930s.

MILLS FIVE CENT “WAR EAGLE” SLOT MACHINE. A classic machine from the 1930s Silent Mystery Series. Fanciful aluminum castings depicting an eagle on the front of the machine make this a most appealing and visually attractive gambling device. Often times manufacturers changed or upgraded the front of their machines to catch the eye of the perspective gambler. An added feature to this desirable slot machine is the side vendor (lacking trip lever), which allowed the operator to circumvent gambling laws by dispensing a roll of mints every time the machine was played. A nice clean original machine with aged repainting to front casting, all castings intact without cracks, chips, etc. Machine retains its original cash box, working jackpot backdoor with Mills key and original reel strips.

ROCKOLA OFFICIAL SWEEPSTAKES HORSE RACE GAME. A great coin operated horse race game from the 1920-1930s that proved to be a huge economic success for the operator. The premise of the machine is to select 1 of 8 horses, deposit a nickel in the slot and activate the lever. As the 8 horses race around the fairgrounds the winner stops at the finish line. Accordingly, if the player had selected the winning horse, he is paid out in cash or merchandise depending upon the odds he received which is indicated by where the ball bearing stopped on the multitude of various odds. Thus he might have a 2 to 1 pay out, up to a 30 to 1 payout. Of course the anti cheat tell tale, still present, would not allow the player to change his odds and the window on the back door indicates what horse was played in the previous race. A small compact machine that was visually attractive, virtually maintenance free and produced large cash returns for the operator/merchant. A wooden case with a fancily embossed partial aluminum panel further add to the visual appeal of this machine. SIZE: 15″ w x 13″ d x 12″ h. CONDITION: A nice overall older restoration, wooden back door is a replacement, still retaining original cardboard race track scene and finish to horses (roulette). 1-13237 (1,750-2,750)

MOTORIZED HORSE RACE TABLE GAME. Wooden electric tabletop gambling game with eight lanes set with different color lithographed tin horses and jockeys.

Motor is functional but horses do not advance. An earlier owner has placed stickers on the surface remnants and residue remains. 1-13397 (250-450)

ADAMS PEPSIN TUTTI FRUTTI VENDOR. An exceptional turn of the century 2 column gum vendor in as found, all original, untouched condition. At first glance one would perceive this to be just another nice example of a vending machine. Upon examination and studying this particular item one becomes enthralled with a strong desire to own it. 1) Original wood finish in a deep red which has some alligatoring with age. 2) Behind the full front porcelain panel, upon opening the front door the original paper label indicates how to load, replace and maintain this particular machine along with the name of the maker/operator (RAILWAY AUTOMATIC SALES COMPANY, BROOKLYN N.Y.). 3) Interior of machine shows the 2 japanned tin columns, each with a label, one indicating chocolate only the other indicating gum only. Another paper label inside indicates this machine is the property of “RAILWAY AUTOMATIC SALES”. At the base are the two original japanned tin money boxes. 4) Perhaps the most important and interesting features are the full porcelain sides with advertising for multiple products from this machine. 5) Still retains the original wall mounting brackets on real wall of machine. On the bottom of the front panel were 2 rectangular windows which have been painted over, more than likely updated whenever a new product was introduced. A light cleaning to the porcelain sides, waxing of wood and light cleaning and lubrication of mechanism would certainly bring out the beauty of this piece. SIZE: 29″ l x 5″ d x 10-1/2″ w. CONDITION: As described above. Phenomenal original condition with only a few minor chips on the front porcelain panel. It does not get any better than this! 1-13317 (4,500-8,500)

Wooden mounting board attached to rear of machine as originally this style was mounted to a wall in a general store, movie theater, restaurant, train station etc. SIZE: 24″ t x 9-1/2″ w x 6″ d. CONDITION: Excellent overall total restoration to machine and in fine working order. 1-13502 (1,000-2,000)

EXHIBIT SUPPLY “DONKEY GOLD MINE” REPLICA. During the 1920s Exhibit Supply manufactured many interesting and unique arcade machines, the Donkey Gold Mine being one of them (original examples are few and far between). The original purpose was to vend a golden token thus machines of this nature were placed in what we politely call tourist traps. Often times, even today we see those machines in location that will turn your penny into a token at venues such as Pikes Peak, Statue of Liberty, Disney World, etc. This particular machine featured the donkey and his cart coming out of the gold mine. As the donkey makes his way about the landscape, suddenly he dumps the golden token into a chute with the patron retrieving as a favorite keepsake. A visually attractive machine, even a blind man would be enthralled by its operation. This model was replicated many years ago by Steve Gronowski and a small limited quantity were made. Completely functional and at the moment working without a coin. SIZE: Height to top of marquee 83″. 28″ w x 22″ d. CONDITION: Overall excellent finish lacking back enclosure to machine. 1-13205 (3,000-4,000)

Of very heavy metal construction, this extremely rare pencil vending machine dispenses a wood pencil imprinted with up to 18 characters on it selected at time of vend. A small quantity of original pencils was found inside the machine, and are included. The original marquee frame is included, without an insert. A vintage Chicago brand pencil sharpener (not operational) is mounted to the left side of the machine. The pencil vendor appears to be complete and in working order, but the ink pad has dried and needs to be re-inked. The key for the back door is missing, but the original operating and maintenance instructions are inside the machine. SIZE: 27″ t x 13″ w x 14″ d. Heavy. CONDITION: Overall very nice condition especially to nickel plated steel front with lettering, original plexiglass plastic panel is intact. The machine has been carefully touched up on the outside with silver paint matching the original side and interior paint. 1-13207 (500-1,000)

CAILLE “WINNER DICE MACHINE”. A neat elaborately cast iron gambling machine from the turn of the century, manufactured by the Caille Brothers of Detroit, Michigan. When a penny or a nickel is deposited in the slot and the knob is turned, 5 dice would pop up. Rewards were paid by totaling the sum of the dice and comparing to the award card on the front of the machine. Lacking original glass globe and iron bezel ring, machine is currently “jammed” and lacking key for rear door. SIZE: 6-1/2″ w x 9-1/4″ d.

BAKER BOY (“INDIAN”) GUM VENDOR. A really neat and visually appealing gum vendor with a clockwork type mechanism manufactured by Manikin Vendor Co of Portland, OR. Four versions featuring the same figure, but painted in alternative style, this is perhaps the rarest one featuring an Indian (original paint finish to figure). The machine has had restoration, perhaps 5-10 years ago and a new metal tag on front. Operation is somewhat simple, dropping a penny into the slot, one would crank the lever 180 degrees, the Indian would then turn, opening the door, retrieving a gumball in his scoop and then turning back to the customer while dropping the gumball into a chute. Amazing action, in need of some minor adjustment to work properly. SIZE: 16″ t x 6″ d. CONDITION: Overall condition as stated above. 1-13503 (2,000-4,000)

WILBUR’S CHOCOLATE VENDOR. A one column pressed steel vending machine utilized from the 1920s probably up until the 1940s. Machine itself retains its original orange finish with large blue decals on 3 sides and a separate nickel plated marquee styled framework picturing a bar of five cent Wilbur milk chocolate. As a side note Wilbur’s chocolate is located in Lititz, PA and more than likely machines of this nature were utilized in train stations, restaurants, general good stores, etc. Nickel plated coin mechanism with patent dates from 1912 and 1923 are embossed upon coin mechanism. SIZE: 33″ t. CONDITION: Overall very good all original condition. Lacking key. Machine appears to be operational but refusing to vend as candy chute is empty. 1-13241 (1,500-2,000)

INCREDIBLE MACHINIST MODEL OF A LATE 19TH CENTURY BOSTON & MAINE LOCOMOTIVE AND TENDER. A phenomenal model that was 2-1/2 years in the making and completed in 1894! A complete written history accompanies this lot which has been in the same family since the early 1930s. Embossed on the boiler locomotive “Boston & Maine Locomotive No. 414”, on the reverse side “William Wight Newport, Vermont 1894”. Being a machinist Mr. Wight paid significant attention to the elaborate and highly detailed gears, side rods etc. Viewing the inside of the cab, activation lever, opening boiler, steam gauge and operational side windows further enhance the appeal of this locomotive. Retains its original finish, however Boston & Maine lettering on tender might have been renewed at a later point in time. The piece is approximately 28″ in length, which although not large, its presence is still enormous. An original newspaper clipping from the 1930s indicating that the family loaned this to the Currier Gallery of Art in New Hampshire for an extended period of time. The more one studies and observes this model, one can truly appreciate the major undertaking by Mr. Wight and more so, how this was even possible at that period in time. Studying the locomotive closely it appears that the head lamp and front running lights on the cowcatcher must have been dry cell battery operated for visual effect. Further study indicates that possibly at one point Mr. Wight had considered putting in a clockwork motor to actually “run/make operational” the wheel and side rod assembly. This might have been an afterthought that perhaps was never completed? Further observation indicates there were a few holes in the boiler and cab roof, which quite possibly could have had additional visual accompaniments. This is a rare find and in untouched, as found condition and certainly would not only appeal to train buffs, but to collectors of train models as well. SIZE: 28″ l.
