Also included is a modern rendition of a Faberge pendant whistle (gold-plated) in original Met. Museum of Art box. An interesting and diverse lot. SIZE: Varies. CONDITION: Near excellent. 1-13004-1 (300-500)

LOT OF 19 ANTIQUE METAL WHISTLES. Materials are plated metal, sterling, marked gold, brass, die-cast metal and plated brass. A very nice grouping of vintage whistles of varied design, many of which are shown in the book Whistles by Martyn Gilchrist (included). Some sterling pieces are hallmarked. Others are charm whistles, dog whistles and several period combination perfume scent containers with whistle. Some forms depict horses, dragons, horns, dogs and trains. Most would hang from necklace. A quality lot. SIZE: Varies. CONDITION: Very good to near excellent. 1-13004 (400-600)

LOT OF APX. 160 SEWING NOTIONS INCLUD. VICTORIAN BUTTONHOOKS. Advanced collectors lot which is predominantly Victorian period shoe or boot buttonhooks. Materials are marked gold, hallmarked sterling, plated silver, mother of pearl, Cloisonne, swirled glass, semi-precious stones, carved wood, horn, and more. Lot also includes pocket knives, collar buttoners, shoe horns, scissors, glove stretcher, glove darners, and other sewing related notions. Many were hung as pendants from necklace. Lot includes large binder of reference material, original advertising, newsletters, correspondence and three booklets on collecting buttonhooks. SIZE: Vary. CONDITION: Very good to excellent. 1-13005 (400-600)

PAIR OF LARGE HUBLEY “PANAMA” DIGGERS. The largest of the diggers produced by Hubley, this particular lot features the normally found digger with green chassis and red back end, but also the more unusual and short production run of the gray front end with red back end. This somewhat massive toy, the truck features 8 rear tires, which in this case are rubber with wooden hubs (some deterioration to tires). These vehicles were so lifelike and typical of what one would find at a construction site. More than likely the name was associated with the Panama Canal, which began construction in 1881 and completed in 1914. Literally, the digger was actually powered by steam, which allowed the nickel plated digging arm to operate. Truly a wonderful and unique toy that emulated the real workhorse vehicle of the time period. SIZE: 13″ l. CONDITION: Overall good to very good. Red & green version lacking chain from bucket to vehicle frame. 1-12833 (1,000-2,000)

ARCADE WHITE PANEL TRUCK. A nice, all original example of one of the harder to find panel trucks produced by the Arcade firm in the 1920s-30s time period. This vehicle has cast iron wheels with a pair of iron spares mounted by the cowls. Enameled in the typical apple green with gilt trim, this truck has been owned early on by Lloyd Ralston (name scratched in underside of vehicle) and at a later period in time by Donald Kaufman. Lloyd Ralston was an early collector of toys and banks, originally living in Warren, Ohio and later moving to Fairfield, Connecticut. He and his wife Ruth started collecting and dealing in the early 1960s and continued until his passing. A most realistic truck and one of the more difficult panel trucks to obtain for one’s collection. SIZE: 8″ l. CONDITION: Overall good to very good. Slightly heavier wear to roof, most notably the edges. 1-12847 (2,000-3,000)

LARGE KENTON CABRIOLET COUPE. An extremely rare cast iron automotive vehicle, especially in this largest size. This toy vehicle originally was found many years ago at the Brimfield antique market and was fresh to the market directly out of a house. Kenton manufactured this particular vehicle and a sedan as well. Both vehicles, especially in this size are rarities and seldom come to market. Car has wonderful detailing and is enameled in robin’s egg blue with a black cabriolet roof and trimmed in gold. The unique feature is the spare tire (replaced) with a 1926 date and red and green simulated lights. Typical Kenton removable driver that was utilized in a number of Kenton toys such as cabs, trucks, fire engines, etc. SIZE: 10″ l. CONDITION: Overall good to very good original paint. Iron tires appear to have been repainted, most likely due to the heavier wear and paint loss in this area. 1-12851 (1,000-2,000)

HUBLEY ELGIN STREET SWEEPER. A fabulous and intricate cast iron toy created by the Hubley firm emulating in miniature the street sweeper that cleaned city streets in the early 20th century. It’s hard to believe a company would go to such efforts and produce such a complicated toy, right down to a lever by the driver that would activate the simulated the sprayer, scrubbing brushes on either side, and a cylindrical brush. As you roll the toy along the ground, a coil spring activated by the wheels would engage the brush. Toy retains original cloth hose with iron fitting that the operator would refill the water tank and continue cleaning. Removable driver enameled in white (replaced) is perched upon a nickel plated seat. Toy is enameled in gray with gilt trim with a fair amount of nickel plated accessories and pieces such as radiator, water tank, etc. When one studies the toy, it is truly amazing and much more like a model than a toy for a child. It is always interesting to wonder why toy companies produced certain pieces, and if they were really played with and enjoyed by children. What young boy would want to play with a street sweeper? SIZE: 8-1/2″ l. CONDITION: Overall good to very good with some uniform paint wear and chipping. A good cleaning and polishing of nickel plated parts would certainly enhance this toy. 1-12848 (1,500-2,500)

LARGE HUBLEY CRASH CAR. The largest of the Hubley crash cars, this toy features a driver in a blue outfit with tan gloves and hat, rubber tires with nickel plated spoked wheels, and an assortment of various items in the cart behind the driver. Included are a pair of axes, a hose reel, a first aid kit, and three simulated steel containers for the inevitable vehicular mishap. Motorcycle toys today are highly sought after by not only toy collectors but motorcycle enthusiasts as well. This particular vehicle is a replica of a 1930s four cylinder Indian motorcycle. SIZE: 11-1/2″ l. CONDITION: Overall very good plus. Wooden containers are possibly re-silvered. 1-12842 (2,000-3,000)

SECOND LARGEST HUBLEY CRASH CAR. Not as large or impressive as the larger crash car, but a more obscure version. The figure is integrally cast, however, he has a movable, separately cast head. The front end is enameled in an apple green with gilt trim and the rear is in the typical red with embossed “Crash Car” on either side. Rear compartment contains two barrels, nickel plated ax, and a removable hose reel (replaced). Toy itself has rubber tires (some distress/loss) contained upon nickel plated steel hubs. SIZE: 9-1/2″ l. CONDITION: Very fine plus original paint with heavier wear to railing edges and rear fenders of trailer. 1-12843 (2,000-3,000)

HUBLEY MOTORCYCLE WITH ELECTRIC HEADLIGHT. Similar in nature to the typical Hubley motorcycle with or without sidecar. However, this particular toy is a much more challenging version to locate. Literally, the batteries slip in through the gas tank with the driver sitting above one. The light bulb is screwed into the iron socket at the front. When the lever on the driver’s left side is flipped, the headlight illuminates. An interesting feature about this and the non-lighted version is that either could be accompanied by a sidecar as the castings allow for this added option. Toy has a nickel plated iron support with two small rubber tires for stability (one has distress). SIZE: 8-1/2″ l. CONDITION: Overall good plus. 1-12853 (650-950)

HUBLEY “INGERSOLL RAND” TRUCK. Various toy companies produced many different versions of the Mack trucks that in real life were utilized during the 1920s-30s. Although not huge in size, this particular vehicle has a huge following. One of the most sought after of all Mack toy vehicles. Nickel plated iron spoked wheels support its payload. The bed of the truck contains the gas engine and compressor along with two large tanks. Driver is integrally cast into the C-Cab Mack and truck still retains an original Hubley decal on the tailgate. What appears to be a very nice all original example with no damage and/or repaint. A really tough toy to find! SIZE: 8″ l. CONDITION: Overall good to very good plus. 1-12841 (4,500-6,500)

ARCADE FORDSON TRACTOR WITH BUCKET LOADER. An unusual form utilizing the typical Fordson tractor with an integrally cast vertical front support mechanism. Attached on the underside is a fork with a movable bucket on the end. By means of a crank on the vertical support, the bucket loader mechanism could be raised, and a second lever on the bucket itself would allow the payload to be dumped. Utilizing slightly different iron spoked wheels on the front of the tractor, this was a wonderful play toy for the child, allowing him to dig and move gravel, dirt, sand, etc. Tractor itself is enameled in green with red wheels and fork, and a nickel plated driver and dump cup. SIZE: 9-1/4″ l. CONDITION: Good plus, aged amateur repair to left casting under farmer’s foot, not terribly noticeable. 1-12854 (400-800)

DENT MACK CEMENT MIXER. Without a doubt, the rarest of the Mack trucks, and certainly in the top ten of rare cast iron automotive toys. Originally this truck was to be produced by Dent Hardware of Fullerton, Pennsylvania. Only one example with original paint is known to exist today and for 60+ years, was in the possession of one of the owners of Dent Hardware. When this toy sold in the 1990s, it sold for in excess of $40,000. Donald Kaufman bought the original brass pattern in 1994, paying approximately $20,000. Shortly thereafter, Don had five produced from the original pattern and sold them to fellow collectors for approximately $5,000 apiece. It is understandable why this toy (if it was ever produced in any quantity) would have survived for any period of time. Basically the support mechanism for the massive and heavy “concrete” drum was on one end, and any pressure or weight put upon the opposite end would have caused this support to break or become damaged. Although visually a most attractive toy, the feasibility and construction were grossly inadequate for durability. The highly detailed C-cab Mack with an extended rear body supported the A-frame mechanism, which could also be lifted by means of a wire support to dump the concrete from the cylinder. More amazing is that when the toy was rolled along the floor, through the series of four rear wheels and a coil spring, the drum would rotate, mixing the concrete within. Utilized in this second casting are original dent rubber tires with wooden hubs and painted in the appropriate colors. Although this toy is of newer vintage, it still has a place among a person’s collection who likes rarity, visual appeal, Mack trucks, etc. SIZE: 11″ l. CONDITION: Very fine plus. 1-12849 (2,500-4,500)

HUBLEY LINCOLN FOUR DOOR SEDAN. First appearing in the 1924 Hubley catalog, this particular toy, as well as the convertible companion are rarer than hen’s teeth. Massive in size with a driver similar to the one used on the Hubley street sweeper, this is the largest cast iron automotive toy produced by Hubley. Although the same length as the Packard, it has greater height and girth as well as visual presence. Only a handful of these (as well as its companion piece) are known to exist today. Enameled in a dark blue with a black upper chassis and roof with iron disc tires (including a replaced spare mounted on the rear). A most unique and interesting toy, and for many years was part of a massive general collection in Ohio. SIZE: 11-1/2″ l x 5-1/8″ h. CONDITION: Restoration to roof, driver appears to have newer paint, otherwise generally good. 1-12845 (3,000-5,000)

HUBLEY PACKARD SEDAN. Conceivably, the acme of automotive toys, the Hubley Packard would be the pinnacle of one’s collection. What an incredible toy, not enough can be said about this vehicle. Lifting the hinged hoods reveals the nickel plated 8-cylinder engine. Or maybe opening the driver’s doors with an interior featuring tufted front and rear seats. Or perhaps, the massive nickel plated iron radiator grill with headlights and hood ornament. Or maybe the delicate, highly detailed front bumper with license plate. Or, the running boards with textured pattern. This toy was particularly vulnerable to damage or loss due to the frailty of the parts involved and the way children play with their toys. Particularly vulnerable were the hoods and doors which were held in place only by small cast pins. These four pieces could easily become disengaged, lost or broken. It is typical for a toy of this nature to have an issue, and collectors will accept this with minimal reluctance. Possibly, if one were to own only one automotive toy, this should be the choice of many. Overall condition of this particular example is good to very good. However, it appears both doors have been repainted or possibly replaced. SIZE: 11″ l. CONDITION: Overall good to very good. Heavier paint loss to left front tire and white on left rear tire. Possible paint restoration to black roof. Remarkably, both hoods are original. 1-12840 (3,000-5,000)

ARCADE “CHECKER” CAB. There were two versions of this particular toy. This example and the other version that was embossed “Checker Cab” above the windshield. A classic and exceedingly rare 1930s automotive toy manufactured by Arcade. Arcade seemed to produce a bevy of automotive toys from the golden era of automotive toys. Looking at the vehicle head on, is a large nickel plated grill with rectangular shaped head lamps and large sweeping wheel wells, giving it a very streamlined and modernistic look and appeal. Large front and rear bumpers, rubber tires covering iron discs, with a spare mounted to the rear frame, but contained within the rear bumper. Another interesting aspect of the design is the use of “suicide” style front doors. For many years, this was virtually a nonexistent toy. When the first one surfaced at auction, it sold for over $60,000! Subsequently, as is typical, a handful have come to market, and hence prices have become much more reasonable. It is intriguing to look at the vehicle, and yet, sweeping, streamlined, and boxy, are some of the words to describe this toy. Toy previously was part of Donald Kaufman’s personal collection and retains sale tag with #1120. SIZE: 8-3/4″ l. CONDITION: Overall very fine plus. Paint appears to be original. Black light inspection reveals repair to front and rear bumper as well as the left rear wheel well. 1-12846 (4,000-6,000)

HUBLEY TRUK MIXER. There were only three companies that produced cast iron cement mixers: Kenton, Hubley and Dent. Perhaps the most realistic and lifelike was the Hubley Mack Truk Mixer. A small, but hugely impressive toy, being most realistic in all aspects of this style vehicle from the 1930s time period. Located directly behind the driver is a nickel plated iron expansion tank, held in place by two crescent moon brackets. Directly behind the expansion tanks is the large cement drum. When the toy is rolled along the floor, through means of several gears, the drum revolves in a clockwise motion. There is intricate detailing, not only to the chassis with such simulated features as a toolbox, chain drive, instrument panel, etc., but to the drum itself, which has simulated sliding compartment covers. SIZE: 7-1/2″ l. CONDITION: Overall, truck is in very good plus original condition with normal wear to rubber tires. Upon close examination, truck has typical fault/damage to crescent supports of expansion tanks. Both right and left rear supports are broken and missing. This toy was particularly susceptible to this damage as this toy often fell over on its top, or the screw tightened a bit too much. One could easily miss this flaw as it is hidden beneath the expansion tank and directly in front of the mixing canister. 1-12839 (3,000-5,000)

LARGEST HUBLEY TRAFFIC CAR MOTORCYCLE. Of all the large motorcycles Hubley manufactured, this is one of the hardest to find, especially in all-original condition. Features a four cylinder Indian cycle with its nickel plated engine and the typical rubber tires with nickel plated pressed steel spoked wheels. The back end is stake sided with an oval emblem stating “Traffic Car” above the right and left wheel wells and a removable back gate. The proper figure, which is present, is dressed in a brown uniform and goggles. Overall, a very nice, all original example and in need of a light cleaning. SIZE: 11-1/2″ l. CONDITION: Overall very good. Most noticeable loss is on fuel tank, decal area where the driver would slide off and on the seat. Rubber tires are good and strong with a couple flat spots, years of shelf dust and dirt remain. 1-12844 (2,500-4,500)

MEDIUM SIZED HUBLEY TRAFFIC CYCLE. An exceptional example in all original, as found, untouched condition. Front end with an integral driver is enameled in red and the back end is robin’s egg blue with an oval “Traffic Car” emblem on its stake sides. White rubber tires cover the nickel plated stamped steel rims and the tires themselves are in very fine condition. Driver’s head is on a swivel and can turn right to left. This front end was also used on the medium crash car and medium flowers van. SIZE: 9″ l. CONDITION: Overall very fine plus original condition. Most notable wear is on the driver’s knuckles where he would hit a piece of furniture and on edges of rear wheel wells. 1-12852 (600-800)

ARCADE WHITE PANEL TRUCK. A nice example of a hard to find panel truck produced by the Arcade firm. This vehicle has cast iron hubs with hard rubber tires and a pair of spares mounted on the cowls. Enameled in an apple green, this is a variation of one sold earlier that had the typical cast iron wheels. Formerly of the personal collection of Donald Kaufman (catalog number 2369). A most realistic truck and one of the more difficult panel trucks to obtain for one’s collection. SIZE: 8-1/4″ l. CONDITION: Overall older paint restoration. Rubber tire on right spare is replaced. 1-12850 (2,000-3,000)

21″ HUBLEY AUTOMOTIVE LADDER TRUCK. The largest and most massive of any cast iron automotive ladder truck ever produced by any toy company. Emblazoned on the side HFD (Hubley Fire Department), this toy has many unique features. A separate front bumper with the license plate number 7232, a hood ornament, searchlight directly in front of driver, hose reel directly behind driver, nickel plated ladder supports with lighting, simulated fire canisters on right and left sides, and the rear tiller man. A unique driver, enameled in blue with a khaki cap, and the hunched over fireman dressed in red with the traditional fire helmet sitting at the rear steering wheel. Large cast iron simulated balloon tires further accentuate the impressiveness of this fire toy. Although other companies made large automotive fire toys, this one stands alone and the prospective made, the pumper would accompany this toy. SIZE: 21″ l (not including extended ladders). CONDITION: Toy is complete and retains all original parts and pieces (lacking hose from hose reel). Overall good to very good. 1-12836 (1,000-1,500)

LARGEST HUBLEY AUTOMOTIVE PUMPER. This toy is the mate to the previous lot (ladder truck). It is massive in size with a number of interesting features including the removable nickel plated tank directly in back of the driver, the searchlight in front of the driver, expansion ball connected to the steam pumper, and a rear standing fireman to be placed in various positions. As with the ladder truck, a separately cast front bumper with the license plate number 7232. Toy is enameled in red with a large nickel plated boiler and iron simulated balloon tires. Removable rubber hoses with iron couplings accompany the pumper. SIZE: 14″ l. CONDITION: Appears to be in good condition with some possible old overpaint to red surface. 1-12838 (1,000-1,500)

LARGE HUBLEY AUTOMOTIVE PUMPER. Next to the largest of the automotive pumpers manufactured by Hubley, this toy features a nickel plated driver and nickel plated standing rear figure, a massive nickel plated boiler, flywheels, and expansion ball. Toy is enameled in red with silver trims and the typical Hubley rubber tires mounted to nickel plated spoked hubs. This engine is just an inch smaller than the previous lot offered and is equally impressive. Hubley incorporated many features in these toys such as cast-in toolboxes, front bumper, tanks directly beneath driver, radiator ornament, and front mounted searchlight. SIZE: 13″ l. CONDITION: Overall very fine plus. 1-12837 (600-900)

HUBLEY 2-SEAT BRAKE. During the earlier part of the 20th century, Hubley produced numerous pleasure/passenger horse drawn carriages, the most impressive being the two-, three- and four-seat brakes. Perhaps the most elusive and yet under appreciated is the two-seat brake, which is by far the hardest to obtain. This pleasure carriage normally only came with a red body and a black & white horse and carried two female passengers, a footman, and the blanketed muttonchopped driver. When pulled along the floor, the wheels activated a galloping mechanism for the two horses and this was a typical carriage most often found in metropolitan areas. Oftentimes, due to the construction and size of this toy, damage occurs to the horses’ hooves, and the seats, which are fragile, and passengers would disappear. This particular piece is completely all original, with the exception of one side lamp and one female passenger, which are older replacements. SIZE: 17″ l. CONDITION: Overall good to very good. More noticeable paint loss to yellow wheels. 1-12835 (3,000-5,000)

HUBLEY 3-SEAT BRAKE. As mentioned in the previous lot, the Hubley two-, three- and four-seat brakes were some of the most impressive toys the firm produced. As we look back today, it is hard to imagine that people traveled in this fashion, but it was commonplace for the late 19th and early 20th century. This toy features the same muttonchopped driver, footman, as well as two male and two female passengers. The seating arrangement has the extended rear third seat beyond the back of the carriage and handsomely enameled in black with red and gilt trims, and a pair of galloping black and white horses. SIZE: 18″ l. CONDITION: A fair amount of restoration to the back end/carriage part of toy. Front end retains its original paint, except wheels, which have repaint to match the rear wheels. The six figures are repainted and/or replacements. 1-12834 (2,000-4,000)

IVES CLOCKWORK FIREHOUSE WITH PUMPER. An architecturally correct rendition of a 1880s style firehouse found in every northeastern town. The cast iron brick facade with “Fire Engine House” embossed over the front doors and a second floor with simulated arch windows is encased upon a wooden box like structure, which also features four arched windows on either side and cast iron simulated roof trim on either side. When the clockwork mechanism is wound and activated, a bell rings and suddenly the spring loaded front doors pop open and the horse drawn pumper rolls down the incline within and the pumper speeds off to the neighborhood fire. The iron castings have original japanning and front doors are a dark green with gilt trim. Other castings are also japanned and wood retains original natural wood finish. Firehouse itself is complete and in working order and stamped on wood at rear “Patented June 28, 1891”. Includes pumper that does not fit inside firehouse, but when situated next to the firehouse, it appears to be appropriate. SIZE: Both pieces are 15″ l. CONDITION: Firehouse as described above, newer spring on left front door. Pumper is good to very good with some older gold enhancement. 1-12939 (4,000-6,000)

ARCADE INTERNATIONAL HATHAWAY PANEL VAN. A classic 1930s Arcade toy featuring the International panel truck. Most commonly we see this as the Hathaway’s bread/cake delivery van, but they also utilized the same form without advertising and one could custom order their own individual company logos, such as United News or Peerless Laundry, etc. This truck is handsomely enameled in a gloss black and then framed out on the cab and van section in cream and green. Further highlighting this vehicle is the Hathaway advertising with graphics of children playing tug-of-war and the International decals on either door. Truck is trimmed with silver highlighting, yellow band, and yellow iron hubs covered by white rubber tires (replacements). Another feature of this vehicle was the opening rear door, which still retains its original Arcade decal. SIZE: 9-1/2″ l. CONDITION: Overall good to very good. Most notable wear along edge of roof. Still retains two original tires tucked away in storage compartment. 1-13098 (1,500-2,500)

HUBLEY CRASH CAR. The largest of the Hubley crash cars, this toy features a driver in a blue outfit with tan gloves and hat, rubber tires covering nickel plated pressed steel spoked hubs, and an assortment of various items in the cart behind the driver. Included are a pair of nickel plated axes, a hose reel with original hose and nozzle, a first aid kit, and three simulated steel containers for the inevitable vehicular mishap. Motorcycle toys today are highly sought after by not only toy collectors but motorcycle enthusiasts as well. This particular vehicle is a replica of a 1930s four cylinder Indian motorcycle. SIZE: 11-1/2″ l. CONDITION: Spectacular original condition and considering the frequency of the driver being removed from his seat, there is absolute minimal wear or chipping to the tank area. Indian decals are largely intact. And most obvious wear is to the silver railing on the crash car itself. At first glance, one does not notice the casting flaw on the front wheel fender of the motorcycle. Toy has been fully inspected and black light confirms that the toy left the factory with this flaw as paint is intact and shows no evidence of touch up and/or repair. 1-13097 (2,500-3,500)

LARGE OVERSIZED DENT DUMP TRUCK. Dent toys were manufactured in Fullerton, PA, which is right next door to Allentown where the Mack Truck factory was located. It was natural for Dent to copy and produce various Mack trucks in miniature form. Dent produced the largest of toy Macks, and this was one of a series of four varieties. This particular vehicle has by means of a lever, a raise-able dump body with an opening tailgate. Truck is enameled in a deep red with a dark green dump body and gilt trims. The spoked iron wheels have yellow centers with simulated rubber tires. Removable figure and steering wheel within cab. SIZE: 15-1/2″ l. CONDITION: Overall very good plus. Appears to be an aged repair to frame under dump body. 1-13137 (750-1,250)

LARGE LOT OF 7 CAST IRON HORSE DRAWN FIRE TOYS. An interesting grouping consisting of a larger Wilkins 3-horse pumper, an early Kenton hose reel, a Wilkins 3-horse hook and ladder, a Hubley 3-horse hook & ladder, a partial front end for an Ives hose reel, and two other small cast iron horse drawn toys. Also includes small early automotive pumper with some casting damage and a few various extra figures. The most significant is the Wilkins pumper with a cast-in driver enameled in yellow with a gilt and silver boiler and the two-horse Kenton hose reel with rear shields embossed Kenton Brand (one shield lacking). Overall condition of the toys ranges from fair to good. Some pieces needing figures, but a nice grouping. SIZE: Varies from 6″ l to 22″ l. CONDITION: Overall fair to good. Some lot damage. 1-12767 (600-900)

ASSORTED GROUPING OF FOUR CAST IRON TOYS. Lot includes Kenton horse drawn pumper (16″ l.), post war Overland Circus cage wagon (14″ l.), petite horse drawn pumper (7″ l.) and a marriage of an Ives Phoenix front end with a Hubley Police Patrol back end (19″ l.). SIZE: As stated above. CONDITION: Toys appear to be complete and condition varies from good to very good with some damage to Ives Phoenix front end. 1-12942, 1-12951, 1-12952, 1-12953 (300-500)

N.H. HILL HAPPY HOOLIGAN SOAPBOX DERBY TOY. A classic comic toy from the turn of the century featuring Happy Hooligan seated on a homemade soapbox derby car. As the toy rolls along by means of an ex-centric wheel arrangement. Happy Hooligan will turn his head and look to the left. A great toy with much attention paid to the detailed castings. SIZE: 5-3/4″ l. CONDITION: Overall older paint restoration to toy. 1-12950 (500-700)

WATROUS CLOWN & HORSE BELL TOY AND ARTICULATED WILKINS MONKEY STICK TOY. First toy is a pressed steel frame with heart shaped steel wheels featuring an articulated galloping horse being held in place by a polychrome iron clown figure. Unusual in that an elaborate gear assembly is utilized on the rear wheels to ring the bells. A somewhat simplistic toy by nature, but extremely charming. Lot also includes an articulated dressed monkey stick toy that when rolled along the ground, gives one the appearance of the monkey walking while raising and lowering his left hand. Polychrome in yellow, green, and orange trim. SIZE: 10″ l and 6-1/4″ h, respectively. CONDITION: Overall very good with heavier wear to clown’s hat. Second toy is in fair to good condition, lacking wooden stick. 1-12943, 1-12946 (250-450)

LOT OF TWO MECHANICAL BANKS: SPEAKING DOG & WILLIAM TELL. Lot includes Speaking Dog bank with blue dressed figure with a round trap on the underside. Typical coloring with nice yellow highlighting and gold trim to back of chair. However, bank is quite dirty and would benefit greatly from a light cleaning. In fully functional and operating condition. William Tell bank depicts the fabled story of Tell shooting the apple off his son’s head. Polychromed in vibrant colors with elaborate castings. Although this is a somewhat common bank, it is still most intriguing and collectible for many aspects. Bank retains original round trap on underside and is in complete and working order.` SIZE: 7-1/2″ l and 10-1/2″ l, respectively. CONDITION: Both banks are in good to very good original condition. William Tell’s gun occasionally does not lock into cocked position. 1-12820 (600-1,200)

LOT OF 8 STILL BANKS.

A japanned building bank with red roof, doors and dial combination on front door. Overall finish is good to very good. Hairline crack emanating from screw on underside of base. SIZE: Varies from 4″ l x 9″ l. CONDITION: As stated above. 1-12821 (600-1,200)

Revised: 6/10/2013

Correction: The catalog indicates that this is the more common of the three; it is actually the least common of the three. It also states in the description that the bank was damaged from use, this is not true, the bank is not damaged from use, it is somewhat temperamental and in functional working order.

RARE GERMAN TIN MECHANICAL BANK: CLOWN & DOG. Of unknown manufacture, there were a variety of tin mechanical banks produced in Germany during the 1920s-30s. There are three similar banks: Clever Dick, Clown & Dog, and Saluting Sailor. This particular bank, the more common of the three, features a lithographed clown figure with a panting dog at his feet. When the clown’s arm is locked into position, the coin is placed in the clown’s hand, and the dog’s tongue is pushed, the bank is activated, lurching the clown’s arm upwards and the coin flies around in a circle and is deposited in the clown’s back end. This bank was damaged from use, and with the scrap drives during this time period, many of these banks were destroyed. Lithographed in a variety of pale colors, this is a nice bank. SIZE: 6-3/4″ h x 4-1/4″ w. CONDITION: Overall fair to good, bank needs a good cleaning and polishing to the lithographed finish. Iron key is present for lock on bottom of bank. Bank is complete and sort of functional, but in need of minor adjustment. 1-13139 (1,500-2,500)

Included is a giraffe, brown bear, ostrich, lion, tiger, zebra, hippo, rhino, buffalo, elephant, zebra with platform, and camel. Animals, as typical in this size, all have painted eyes. The set appears to be in virtually unplayed with condition and the stringing is somewhat aged and loose. Any wear is most likely from being stored loosely within the box and there is virtually minimal paint loss/chipping to the animals. Box label indicates small size twelve assorted pieces with item number 21/44. Included with the lot is an original color fold up flyer for Schoenhut Humpty Dumpty Circus toys.

MARTIN ACROBAT AND BOXED FRENCH ACROBATIC TOY. Lot includes a desirable Martin acrobat that when wound will do somersaults about the floor. In all original condition and clothing, mechanism is in working order but would benefit by some minor lubrication. Typical of Martin the toy employs stamped tin and brass materials for various body parts and hand enameled to finish them off. Original cotton clothing with minimal soiling, but some distress, most notably to back where a small section has melted away. Also includes a French Les Voltigeuers tumbling acrobat toy with its original box. Often seen, but rarely is it found in its original box, which also pictures toy. Placing the figures at the top, they cascade down a series of wires, giving the illusion of performing acrobatic feats. Oftentimes toys of this nature represented true life circus acts as in Martin’s Mysterious Ball as is the case here. Figures appear to be made of a compo material and are gaily painted. SIZE: 7″ h and 14″ h, respectively. CONDITION: Martin toy is good to very good. Some chipping to face and black hair. Acrobats’ box shows fair amount of distress to base and missing flaps to lid.

IVES CLOCKWORK PREACHER. A wonderful toy from the latter part of the 1800s featuring a black gentleman preaching to the masses. This exceptional example came from England and as unusual as that sounds many American toys from this era found their way overseas to Europe. The wooden box is polychromed in an orange-red finish with vibrant yellow highlighting and brown accents. 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 black figure has inset black pupiless glass eyes, wire rimmed glasses and a comical look about his face or a comical look about him. When the toy is wound and activated, he would lean forward slamming his right hand on the podium to make his point while turning his head from side to side glancing to the crowd that has gathered. SIZE: Approx. 10″ t. CONDITION: In very fine to near mint condition. Clockwork mechanism is in working order, some minor adjustments needed for figure to function properly. Upon close examination, it appears that his tin book has been reattached/re-soldered to left hand of figure. 8-87720 (3,000-5,000)

RARE IVES CLOCKWORK “UNITED STATES” ENGINE & TENDER BELL TOY. An unusual form, this particular, early style American locomotive features the large drive wheels in front with steam chests located under cab window. The attached tender, which is hinged to allow the train to go straight or curved path. Another unusual feature is the bell located between the cab and tender, which is activated by a large center wheel with a paddle that is struck when the toy rolls along the floor. Most attractive due to the typical fireplug style windows and various colors employed (dark green, dark blue, red, and black). Fine stenciling throughout including “United States” in gold on two sides of the boiler. To view a similar Ives train, please refer to page 48 of “The World of Antique Toys” by Jefferey Levitt. SIZE: 13-1/2″ l. CONDITION: Overall good plus. Top of cab roof appears to have been repainted and aged appropriately. Four fixed wheels on tender appear to be reattached and repainted, possibly older replacements. 1-12944 (800-1,200)

MULTI-FIGURED GERMAN STEAM TOY. A quality built scale model of working factory in the 19th century.

Toy mounted on original mahogany detailed base. SIZE: 17″ l. CONDITION: Flat tin figures have darkened areas of oxidation. Otherwise, toy is good with all functions working. 1-12768 (300-400)

THE LARGEST MARKLIN SECOND SERIES BATTLESHIP “HMS RUSSELL”. Massive in size, it is difficult to comprehend that a toy like this was ever created for a child, more likely an adult male who had dashed dreams of becoming a sea captain or naval commander. One can only imagine the cost of a toy like this back in the earlier part of the 20th century! Obviously a toy of this nature would not have been easy for a youth to handle as it is both heavy and elaborate. Typical of Marklin of the period (1910-1915), their craftsmen have reproduced in toy form a realistic copy of battleships of the time. This toy has been buried away for decades and has recently come to the market as a fresh find and never having been in a collector’s hands prior to this. A plethora of turrets with guns in various sizes littered the deck as well as walkways above the superstructure. Two massive stacks protrude well above the deck line, and one can only imagine the impressive nature this boat would exude while in the water. Most likely the boat was powered by a clockwork mechanism (mechanism no longer present), which would have been attached to the two propellers. The upper deck lifts off to expose the interior of the hull. Not only did this boat have numerous cannons, but there are a number of lifeboats as well, which unfortunately are missing. A fair amount of original paint still remains with heavier paint loss to the tangerine deck and dark blue water line/hull. “HMS Russell” is emblazoned on the left and right side of bow. This boat has in excess of 40 clips on her deck under which one could insert sailors. Overall the boat needs some cosmetic attention and replacing missing parts, but when completed, this toy would be a spectacular showpiece central to any collection. The HMS Russell was commissioned in February 1903, having taken four years to build. She was a Duncan-class pre-Dreadnaught of the Royal Navy and saw service in the Mediterranean. She met her fate when she was sunk by two mines laid by a German U-Boat off the coast of Malta on April 27, 1916. SIZE: 46″ l. CONDITION: Overall fair to good. 1-12829 (25,000-45,000)

EXCEPTIONAL AND RARE CARETTE SEARCHLIGHT BOAT. A unique and rare form, on the bow of the boat is a raised pedestal with a large electrified searchlight. There is a pair of levers directly behind the searchlight platform which when positioned properly would have engaged the searchlight, but also driven the motor. Removing the cabin reveals a large oval well, which would have held the battery (not included). There is no effective way to get to the electric motor as the decking was soldered into place prior to painting this toy. A very rare form with only a few known examples to exist today. Toy appears to be completely untouched, all original condition overall. The boat is in as found, untouched condition and perhaps a light cleaning and dusting of the deck would further enhance the strong appeal of this rare toy. SIZE: 17″ l. CONDITION: Overall good to very good. 1-13007 (3,500-4,500)

ROCK & GRANER PADDLE WHEEL BOAT. A fine early live steam paddle boat, most likely manufactured by Rock & Graner at the latter part of the 19th century, this toy has a most aesthetically pleasing appearance. It is delicate in nature, yet extremely well made. Finely detailed features such as the railings surrounding the live steam mechanism, the bow protuberance has a delicately cast support on either side of the bow, and the paddle wheel covers slope back into the hull. Although the boat is small, it is fairly heavy and most likely due to that the keel is solid metal, thus keeping the boat stabilized in the water. Handsomely enameled with a red and black hull and a white deck with simulated portholes. Rubber stamped on each paddle wheel “Dresden”, this must have been quite the toy for a young boy to play with. Included with boat are three lead figures and the stern flag, which needs to be reattached to deck. SIZE: 19″ l. CONDITION: Overall appears to be good to very good. Possible old restoration to boat. 1-13131 (7,000-10,000)

Dashboard has fair amount of original decals indicating gas gauge, speed, temperature, etc. A good cleaning would truly enhance the appeal of this vehicle! SIZE: 49″ l. CONDITION: Overall very good plus original condition. Original Eisenglass windshield has only remnants remaining. Die cast hood ornament has disintegrated and is in need of replacement. 1-13096 (3,000-5,000)

GENDRON BUICK PEDAL CAR. A fine all original example. Perhaps this is the most deluxe of the Gendron series, this particular vehicle comes with a multitude of high end accessories such as headlights with glass lenses, an adjustable nickel plated windshield, with fly windows, working windshield wiper, and attached rear view mirror. Other accoutrements include nickel plated hubcaps, actual working brake lever, opening side door, simulated fold down rag top, deluxe steering wheel with directional levers, windshield mounted glass lens spotlight (support arm broken but pieces present) and the typical aoogah horn. Gendron was noted for making exceptional pressed steel toys and when one examines this particular vehicle, it is quite obvious that this was the top of the line. The front steering mechanism alone is quite involved. The radiator is a stamped steel with an inserted grate that is most realistic in nature. A small enameled oval disc emblazoned “Buick” is pinned to the radiator as well as what would have been an elaborate hood ornament (now missing). Car retains original Gendron license plate, Gendron decal on hood of car, and the various dashboard decals indicating temperature, oil pressure, etc. One can only imagine the cost of this vehicle when it was new as this had to be the Rolls Royce of pedal cars. An elaborate paint job with a red frame and hood wells, the body of the car is two-toned in a lighter green on the sides and a darker green on the hood, highlighted by the same red trim as on the chassis. SIZE: 52″ l. CONDITION: Lacking Eisenglass in windshield. Fly windows have replaced plexiglass panels. Overall good to very good. 1-13108 (3,000-5,000)

STEELCRAFT BUICK PEDAL CAR. A nice deluxe version of a desirable pedal car in untouched, all original condition. Somewhat smaller version than the previous lot, but equally elaborate. A pressed steel airplane hood ornament (propeller tips broken) graces the front. Headlights, a windshield mounted spotlight, and red and green cowl lights are additional features of the vehicle as well as its original Eisenglass windshield (largely intact but is cracked). A rear view mirror attached to top of windshield frame, an aoogah horn is mounted to the side, and a nickel plated radiator with a Steelcraft license plate is attached to the rear. Car has a pea green frame and the body itself is enameled in black with orange trim and pea green highlights. The wheels are pressed steel with green colored hubs, applied hubcaps, and a thin band of rubber on exterior of wheels. SIZE: 36″ l. CONDITION: Lacking one hubcap. Dashboard shows signs of having four decals, which are no longer present. Otherwise overall very fine plus and a good cleaning would certainly enhance the appeal of this car. 1-13106 (2,500-3,500)

GENDRON CADILLAC PEDAL CAR. A fine all-original example of a Gendron pedal car with headlights with glass lenses, indicator switches on steering wheel, a simulated gearshift on right side of vehicle, license plate on front (lacking rear plate), and typical wooden running boards with tin overlay. Although not the most elaborate of the Gendron series with all the bells and whistles, this is still an exceptional vehicle and quite appealing due to the paint scheme Gendron utilized. A black chassis with dark red running boards and a two tone blue body with yellow and red highlights accentuate the features. Front bumper and supports are black enameled steel and car retains original oval Cadillac emblem fastened to embossed radiator and aluminum hood ornament. Steel tires with nickel plated hubcaps with thin hard rubber exteriors. SIZE: 48″ l. CONDITION: Overall good to very good. A fair amount of chipping to dark blue hood, but not offensive and still visually quite impressive. 1-13107 (2,000-4,000)

STEELCRAFT CHILD’S OLDSMOBILE PEDAL CAR. What appears to be a very nice, clean, all-original pedal car, circa 1930s-40s in burgundy paint finish with red pinstripes. A nickel plated Oldsmobile emblem is attached to the trunk area of the vehicle and dashboard still retains original decal of simulated speedometer and other gauges. A small lever switch on dashboard would engage the battery and illuminate the two front headlights. Separate nickel plated windshield, which at one time had Eisenglass (lacking). Overall condition is very fine plus with main wear to paint on edges of fender where child encountered obstacles such as walls or pedestrians. SIZE: 42″ l. CONDITION: Quite possibly there appears to have been a spare tire on the right side, but it is no longer present. 1-13110 (500-700)

GENDRON DUAL LINCOLN LIMO PEDAL CAR. The apex of pedal cars, this particular toy vehicle has the capability of not only the driver pedaling, but the passenger as well. One would suspect that on the highway of pedal cars, no one could keep up with this particular vehicle. A magnificent restoration from top to bottom make this a must-have for any collector of pedal cars and even appealing to the non-collector, this toy has no equal and will take your breath away. The elaborate finish to this vehicle, the chassis appears to have a burgundy powder finish and the body is done in a cream with burgundy and orange highlighting. All parts have been nickel plated: the headlights with glass lenses, the running board mounted searchlight, fold down luggage rack, and the elaborate nickel plated radiator with Lincoln mascot further make this a most stunning vehicle. A brass Lincoln tag is attached to the front of the radiator and the dashboard has a separately attached instrument panel with simulated gauges and the steering column appears to have an adjustable tilt mechanism. The headlights themselves are battery powered with an on/off switch located on the underside of the instrument panel. Most elaborate in nature, the windshield has swivel glass panel fly windows (one damaged) and this vehicle features elaborate open spoked wheels and side mounts with rubber edging and nickel plated hubcap covers. Interior of car has elegant burgundy leather upholstery, side panels, and seating as well as a canvas simulated fold down rag top cover. SIZE: 65″ l. CONDITION: Overall very fine to near mint. 1-13109 (5,000-7,000)

RARE BUDDY L TRENCH DIGGER ON TRACKS. Buddy L created a line of pressed steel toys that emulated the real vehicles of life. Perhaps one of the most complex toys created was this trench digger. Through a series of gears and various cranks, the child could load the trench bucket into the soil and literally dig a miniature trench as the series of buckets proceeded upwards, the soil was dumped onto a canvas conveyor belt that could load the fill directly into a Buddy L dump truck. More amazing are the tracks on which the toy rolled across the ground. So realistic in nature, the steel treads even had a pressure sensitive roller on each tread to keep them tight and intact. Imagine this toy being outside and used in the soil and it’s hard to believe that such a remarkable example survived. For all intents and purposes, the piece appears to be all original with the possible exception of two brass worm gears and black hood vent, which appears to have a repair and/or repaint where the payload from the small buckets is dumped. Buddy L had always employed a die cast gear, which was prone to deterioration. A number of Buddy L decals remain intact and are quite legible. This is perhaps one of the nicest surviving original examples known to exist. Normal wear or paint loss is present in heavy use or expected areas. One crank lowers the trencher into the ground as deep as needed to make a deeper trench while the other crank causes the buckets and conveyor belt to be engaged. SIZE: 19″ l x 19″ h. CONDITION: Overall very good to fine. 1-12610 (4,000-6,000)

EXCEPTIONAL BUDDY L TANK TRUCK WITH CANS & SPRINKLER BAR. A very fine example of a desirable Buddy L truck with the typical black cab, red chassis, and dark green tank. Included are four original Buddy L water cans (3 lacking lids) and the original sprinkler bar that has an aged amateur repair. This toy is direct from an old time collection from an individual who had a multitude of interests. A superb example ready to place on your shelf in your house. SIZE: 26″ l. CONDITION: As stated above. 1-12611 (1,500-2,500)

BUDDY L JR. STAKE SIDE TRUCK. A classic 1930s Buddy L Jr. series truck with opening doors, dual rear wheels, headlights, and a nickel plated front bumper. Overall a nice sound all original example with the paint on the bed being largely intact with some uniform wear and paint chips. A nice solid sound example with no apologies. SIZE: 24″ l. CONDITION: As stated above. 1-12613 (1,500-2,500)

BUDDY L ICE TRUCK. A very fine example of an all original classic Buddy L ice delivery vehicle. Intact with original canvas covering the bed, three glass “ice cubes” (some chipping/damage) and black ice tongs. A really fine example with vibrant black enamel and yellow paint that jumps out at you. Aluminum wheels show little signs of wear and red enamel centers are vibrant and largely intact. Buddy L decals on delivery bed and floor board are in very good to near excellent condition. SIZE: 26″ l. CONDITION: As described above, some discoloration/staining to front of ice bed, but obscured by canvas covering, possibly able to be cleaned and removed. 1-12612 (2,500-4,500)

KEYSTONE RIDE-ON BUS. True to form, this cross country bus with a Packard style body and the Greyhound label/decal on the side stating “Coast to Coast” was the type of bus one would see in the 1930s-40s traveling about the country. Rarer and perhaps more aesthetically pleasing than the Buddy L bus, this toy is less frequently encountered. Appearance wise, approximately the same in length, it is more massive in height and the rear view of the bus features six different license plates, large tail lights, and a luggage rack. Normally, this bus is found with a T-bar that projects through the roof allowing the rider to steer the bus. Upon opening the hinged roof, there is now a small steering wheel to adjust the direction. Bus is largely intact and an excellent candidate for restoration. SIZE: 31″ l. CONDITION: Overall a good solid bus in need of some minor straightening. There is what appears to be a bullet hole on the left rear fender and an external dent above rear set of double windows on right side of bus. 1-12769 (750-1,250)

BUDDY L ICE TRUCK. Being somewhat hesitant to use the word “pristine”, but this vehicle, as well as several that follow, fall into that category. This toy, as many of his others have sat on open shelves, and have a slight layer of what we call shelf dust and can easily be wiped away quickly with a soft clean cloth. The ice truck featured here is exceptional, still retaining its original pull string, three blocks of glass “ice”, enameled black ice tongs, hand truck, ladder/ramp, and canvas cover. Even the chain on the rear of the truck retains most of its enameled black paint! Decals are vibrant with minimal loss. It is always interesting to see original Buddy L ice cubes as they have divots on the right and left and left side for use with the tongs. SIZE: 26″ l. CONDITION: As stated above. Main area of wear is the steel rail where the canvas hooks slide. One glass ice cube has several chips. 1-13080 (3,000-6,000)

BUDDY L WRECKING TRUCK. A superlative example about as good as they come. A somewhat deluxe model with stamped steel simulated spoked hubs and rubber tires. When one looks under the truck, they are somewhat shocked by the luster of not only the black paint of the cab but also the deep red paint on the framework and the red of the body. If I could point out one minor drawback, it is the typical problem of all Buddy L vehicles that use die cast gears. Similar in nature to the drive wheels Lionel used on their trains, the pot metal gears or wheels tended to deteriorate with age. Upon close examination, the four gears are basically intact, yet one can see the deterioration, thus rendering the hooks somewhat inoperable. One cannot say enough about this particular vehicle and its condition as well as its desirability. SIZE: 32″ l. CONDITION: The only area of true weakness on this vehicle is the 3″ steel rod that connected the front leaf springs. More than likely, the child had some sort of metal hook on this bar causing paint loss. 1-13076 (3,000-6,000)

BUDDY L STAKE SIDE LUMBER TRUCK. A slightly later version with solid disc wheels, this unique truck features three rollers in the bed with a crank handle on the third roller next to the tailgate. One would lower the tail gate and crank the lumber on or off the bed. A tough unit to find. Perhaps the condition of this truck is not on par with the condition of the rest of this collection, but by all means is still in very good to fine original condition. Most noticeable is some chipping and alligatoring to the cab roof and engine hood. The bed itself is in exceptional condition with only minimal wear/chipping. Included with this lot, the consignor reluctantly added five replica stakes to finish the vehicle off at the insistence of a close friend. SIZE: 25″ l. CONDITION: Overall very good to fine. 1-13075 (1,250-1,750)

BUDDY L BUS. Without a doubt, the Buddy L bus is perhaps one of the finest pieces of pressed steel ever produced by any company. So lifelike in nature, looking inside, there is a bevy of seating to accommodate 24 passengers and the bus driver. It seems somewhat odd that Buddy L went to such extremes since there was no access to these seats other than the opening doors at the front. Extremely heavy, Buddy L went all out with this vehicle. A nickel plated bumper, nickel plated headlights, visor over the windshield, dual mounted spares, opening doors, seating, etc. This bus only came in this odd blue-green combination that was used for this vehicle exclusively. This is a remarkable example because these toys are usually so susceptible to damage and paint loss (especially to the roof). If there was one drawback, the decals are slightly faded. SIZE: 28-1/2″ l. CONDITION: Overall very fine plus with minimal wear and chipping/dents to front fenders. A superlative example of a fabulous toy. 1-13092 (4,000-7,000)

RARE STURDITOY AMBULANCE. A seldom found toy vehicle, but then again, the young man of the period would rather play with a fire engine or ice truck. Overall, this truck is in amazing original condition with main wear to edges of roof or fenders. Cream colored with a large red cross on either side, steel disc wheels covered with rubber tires, typical Sturditoy headlights, and a nickel plated front bumper. As is typical, steering was accomplished by a steering wheel in the cab. It’s been a good day, no patients appear within. SIZE: 26″ l. CONDITION: Overall very good to fine. Upon close examination, front headlight assembly appears to have broken loose and has been epoxied back into place. 1-13084 (3,500-5,500)

BUDDY L BAGGAGE LINE TRUCK. A remarkable example in truly pristine original condition, still retaining the two black enameled chains at the rear of the bed with absolute minimal wear/chipping to truck bed itself. Even its original cord pull string is intact. This is one of the tougher classic Buddy L vehicles to find in any condition and is a must have for those who not only appreciate rarity, but condition as well. SIZE: 26″ l. CONDITION: As stated above with no apologies. 1-13094 (3,000-6,000)

TRACTOR TRAILER STURDITOY OIL COMPANY TRUCK. Of the “normal sized” Buddy L, Steelcraft, Sturditoy vehicles, this is one of the largest and most impressive pieces ever created. This was the only two-piece tandem truck produced by any of the major manufacturers. A typical Sturditoy front end with headlights, license plate #525, and nickel plated bumper. But what was most unusual were the dual tires on the rear of the cab as well as a simulated tool box as well. The oversized tanker likewise features dual tires and a crank down wheel system at the front of the tanker so it could stand on its own. Rear of oversized oil tank are two brass spigots that can be unscrewed to release liquid within. Believed to be the only toy vehicle of this nature that employed a nickel plated rear bumper. Just a fabulous and most impressive pressed steel toy. SIZE: 34″ l. CONDITION: Top of tank has some shallow denting around fill caps, but no paint loss. One rear spigot has what appears to be some plumber’s putty to ensure a tight fit at rear of tank. Overall very good to fine. 1-13095 (2,500-4,500)

STURDITOY COAL TRUCK WITH SIDE CHUTE. A relatively obscure Sturditoy vehicle, the coal bed is shaped to funnel its load through the right front corner of the bed. There is a small exterior chute with a flap to release the coal and into the waiting coal bin. Oftentimes the truck would pull alongside the house, and of course it would make perfect sense to unload through the side versus backing up into the street and unloading through the rear. At some point in time, there was a small tin removable chute that would have attached to the fixed chute that would allow the coal to travel a distance over the sidewalk directly into the coal bin in the basement. As is typical, it features tin disc wheels with black rubber tires, and this particular toy has a decal on the dashboard with simulated gauges and a slightly earlier Sturditoy decal on the floorboard, which reads “Made by Pressed Metal Co., Pawtucket, RI.” SIZE: 24″ l. CONDITION: Overall good to very good. Some paint chipping to cab roof, front fenders, and most noticeable at bottom of funnel on bed of vehicle. 1-13083 (1,500-2,500)

KEYSTONE SPRINKLER TANK TRUCK WITH ORIGINAL BAR. Keystone used the Packard as their model for their vehicles and this particular truck is very similar in nature to the Buddy L tanker. Slightly more colorful, employing a brilliant yellow tank, green tank bed, red chassis, and black cab, one could easily see this vehicle driving down the road. The sprinkler bar itself was much more sound and less prone to damage, having a slight curve to the bar and a rubber hose connecting it to the spigot. Less rigidity as compared to the Buddy L version, and the only downside was the rubber hose drying out and rotting away (but an easy fix at the local hardware store for a new 3″ piece of hose). Disc steel wheels with rubber tires and the typical simulated headlamps on the front of the cab, and the red indicator flag on driver’s side. SIZE: 26″ l to end of sprinkler bar. CONDITION: Overall good to very good. Heavier chipping to running boards, roof of cab, and tank. 1-13089 (1,500-2,500)

KEYSTONE MOVING VAN. The classic moving van, this particular one produced by Keystone has a large oval decal on the side reading “Keystone Moving Van, Long Distance Moving”. The young man would certainly enjoy this truck, opening the rear doors and he would have a bevy of room to store several items of interest. Oftentimes, the doors would have suffered the greatest punishment as they were frequently damage. These doors are only held in place by means of a small 4″ pin and could have easily been removed and lost. A small locking bar on each door would allow the child to attach a small padlock to protect his valuables. Truck retains its original cord pull string. SIZE: 26-1/2″ l. CONDITION: Overall very good to fine with most paint loss/scratches to red cargo box. 1-13085 (1,500-2,500)

STURDITOY TRUCKING CO. WRECKER. As compared with the Buddy L wrecker, the Sturditoy version is much more simplistic in nature, yet quite pleasing to look at. One main advantage is that Sturditoy used an extremely simple boom mechanism without gears, which in the Buddy L version were an issue. Just a simple cord and a hook and you could pull up any vehicle and tow it to the garage. It is almost as though they took a standard pickup truck and added a boom as an afterthought. A really neat truck and especially difficult to find in this condition. Typical steel hubs with rubber tires, nickel plated front bumper, and the front headlight assembly mounted to the radiator. This particular example retains its stamped steel #421 license plate hanging from front headlight assembly. SIZE: 26″ l. CONDITION: Exceptional original condition with some chipping to top of front fenders and minimal uniform wear/chipping overall. Lacking string and hook for wrecking boom. 1-13090 (2,500-4,500)

PHENOMENAL BUDDY L TANK LINE TRUCK WITH SPRINKLER BAR. One of the nicest known examples to come to market in the past few years, this fairly common truck is in uncommon condition. The vibrancy, thickness, and coloring of the paint is just awesome. The only negative I can attribute to this toy is about 15-20 years of shelf dust that would wipe away in minutes. Even the cap on top of the tank is intact and retains most of its paint. The most susceptible piece of this toy, the sprinkler bar, is intact with an inordinate amount of green paint remaining. If one were to maintain only a handful of pressed steel vehicles, this would be a must have! SIZE: 27″ l to rear of sprinkler bar. CONDITION: As stated above with no apologies other than a small amount of decal loss on the floorboard of cab and a small paint loss blemish on cab roof. 1-13081 (2,000-3,000)

STEELCRAFT MACK U.S. ARMY TRUCK. The Steelcraft trucks were not as popular as Keystone, Buddy L or Sturditoy trucks. However, these trucks used the famed C-cab Mack and although not as prolific in variety, are still very unique and desirable toys. This particular truck is painted in a khaki color and has a canvas covering over the rear bed (canvas covering is a replacement). Steel disc tires with rubber exteriors and adjustable steering. Located in Murray, Ohio, the company was better known for their wide variety of pedal cars. SIZE: 25″ l. CONDITION: Overall very good to fine. 1-13082 (800-1,200)

STURDITOY U.S. ARMY TRUCK. Obviously every young boy wouldn’t mind having an army vehicle or tank, a popular theme, especially with the approaching war. An unusual color that Sturditoy used, a cross between apple green and olive drab that is not found on many of their vehicles. Original canvas canopy rubber stamped “U.S. Army” and “U.S.A.” stenciled on both sides of the truck bed. Typical steel disc wheels with rubber tires and headlight assembly mounted to front of radiator, this particular vehicle also has a license plate mounted to headlight assembly, #420. More than likely, this number corresponded to the model number of this truck. Front bumper, instead of being nickel plated, is painted in apple green. SIZE: 27″ l. CONDITION: Overall very fine plus with uniform wear. 1-13088 (1,250-2,250)

BUDDY L WRECKING TRUCK. This is the typical version found with the solid cast aluminum with painted red interiors. Buddy L employed a somewhat complicated wrecking boom, which oftentimes experienced troubles due to the die cast gears they used. Surely replacement gears were available from Buddy L, but we all know young boys are not particularly patient. Very realistic in nature, these wreckers are highly sought after by collectors, and this is just a nice solid average example. SIZE: 31″ l. CONDITION: Overall good. Damage and loss to die cast gears in wrecking boom. 1-13093 (1,500-2,500)

STURDITOY OIL COMPANY TRUCK. Similar in nature to the Keystone or Buddy L water tankers, Sturditoy decided to compete in a different fashion and make an oil truck instead. Virtually identical to the Keystone example except a difference in cab style and Sturditoy utilized a more squat oval shaped tank versus a round cylinder tank. A somewhat elusive toy to find, this particular example is in very good original condition including cap on top of tank and original spigot. SIZE: 25″ l. CONDITION: Overall good to very good. Most notable chipping to cab roof and some chipping/scratches to oil tank. 1-13091 (1,250-2,250)

STURDITOY AMERICAN RAILWAY EXPRESS TRUCK. Once again, Sturditoy with this particular vehicle employed an odd, seldom found color. Not the same as the army truck in a previous lot, but more of a dark sea foam green. One would normally expect dark blue or red, which seems somewhat out of place. In remarkable condition, this screen sided Railway Express truck has two working doors at the rear. Also typical of Sturditoy, they have their front headlights with attached license plate (#402) as well as a nickel plated front bumper. For some reason, these storage trucks regardless of maker, always seem to have heavily worn roofs where children sat or stood on. This particular example is in exceptional condition and certainly one of the jewels of the collection. SIZE: 26″ l. CONDITION: Overall very fine plus. 1-13078 (2,000-3,000)

STURDITOY U.S. MAIL TRUCK. Similar in nature to the previous lot. However, this particular example is enameled in a dark blue and as previously mentioned, a fair amount of typical wear to roof, yet still a most difficult and obscure vehicle to add to one’s collection. Nickel plated bumper and front headlight assembly with license plate #410 is attached. SIZE: 26″ l. CONDITION: Overall good with main wear to roof of truck body. 1-13087 (1,000-2,000)

BUDDY L #205 FIRE TRUCK. A tough vehicle to find, this truck has a pair of extension ladders, a hose reel, and a removable swiveling wrecker boom along, a floor mounted winch, and a brass bell mounted on dashboard. Oftentimes the extra parts and pieces, especially the boom, become lost, never to be found again. However, these bells and whistles are all present. Each ladder assembly could extend to 34″ and could be hooked into one another to achieve even greater height. SIZE: 25″ l (exclusive of ladders). CONDITION: Overall good to very good. 1-13079 (800-1,200)

AMERICAN LAFRANCE CHEMICAL PUMPER. One of the most interesting of the fire vehicles manufactured by any of the pressed steel companies, directly behind the driver is a dual set of tanks, which liquid could be pumped from. And on the bed of the truck is a large water reservoir that water could also be pumped from. Toy retains one large original hose with fittings and a smaller hose reel to dispense the liquid from the “chemical” tank. A difficult toy to find, especially in good to very good condition as this one is. Perhaps of all the pressed steel fire toys, this was one of the most realistic examples. SIZE: 26″ l. CONDITION: Overall good to very good. 1-13077 (1,250-1,750)

SPECIAL ST. JUDE CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL LOT. This lot consists of twelve past Julia auction firearm catalogs, together with their prices realized list. These catalogs serve as a valuable reference source. We regularly sell our past auction catalogs to collectors and dealers alike for that purpose. Please also note: The entire proceeds of this lot (to include the 15% buyer’s premium), shall be donated to the St. Jude Children’s Hospital. St. Jude’s is one of the finest hospitals in North America today for the research and care of children afflicted with cancer. We hope that you will consider competing on this lot, we consider it to be an extremely worthwhile cause and we have dedicated ourselves to include similar lots in every single one of our auctions, the proceeds of which will be donated to St. Jude’s. Thank you for your participation. CONDITION: Very good. 8-87112 (300-400)

STURDITOY SEGMENTED COAL DELIVERY TRUCK. An exceptional example still retaining its steel dividers, which are often missing. Obviously these trucks were intended more for commercial deliveries rather than residential deliveries. The large container body was equally divided into three sections and by means of a crank could be elevated to 45 degrees. The load could be dumped by means of a small chute in the center of the rear door or the tailgate lifted to drop the entire load. Depending upon the amount of product purchase, the buyer could have one, two, or three loads delivered. Rarely is this truck found with its dividers intact as well as the small rear chute door. Decal on rear of truck “Sturditoy Coal Company”. Toy also features nickel plated front bumper, headlights mounted to radiator with license plate #522. SIZE: 26-1/2″ l. CONDITION: Overall very good plus. 1-13086 (1,500-2,500)

MARKLIN ONION DOME STATION WITH CANOPY. An intricate Marklin train station scaled for either 1 or 2 gauge trains, this station is basically in as-found, all original condition. Typical of Marklin in the early 20th century, this hand painted station, which was made for the American or European market is painted in a variety of colors. Included is the rear passenger awning under which train arrivals and departures would occur. Candle illumination on enclosed station areas with light shining through windows that have acid etched glass (some glasses missing). Fairly large and grandiose, the station measures 17″ wide x 21″ deep (including awning). The station retains one original crank bell on front platform. SIZE: As stated above. CONDITION: As described above, a good cleaning would bring out the vibrancy of the paint. Lacking one rack of insulators on roof. Center spire possibly replaced. It appears to have some inpainting to canopy post supports. 1-12935 (5,000-7,000)

FIVE 17″ MARKLIN PASSENGER/BAGGAGE CARS WITH ORIGINAL BOXES. A nice grouping of 1920s-30s Marklin O-gauge cars including a green baggage, maroon Schlafwagen Mitropa, two green Deuteche Reichsbahn passenger cars, and perhaps the most desirable car is a dark blue French restaurant dining car. Cars are in good to very good original condition without interiors. All cars are equipped with lighting. Boxes are intact and four of the five have paper labels at each end. One box missing end flap, otherwise good and solid. Die cast trucks with die cast wheels (a couple wheels have fatigue/loss). SIZE: 17″ l. CONDITION: As stated above. Blue dining car has remnants of scotch tape on roof and left side. Some missing roof nobs and several missing tin location labels from sides of cars. 1-12938 (2,250-3,250)

MARKLIN HEINZ PICKLE CAR. A very desirable, what appears to be a hand painted Heinz pickle 1-gauge boxcar. Enameled with orange sides and a black roof with the trademark Heinz Pickle 57 Varieties emblazoned on the side. Underside of car is rubber stamped in red with the Marklin emblem. One of the more difficult cars to find and a perfect complement to the various Marklin beer cars. SIZE: 11″ l. CONDITION: Overall good to very good. Uniform fading to orange coloring and appears the black trucks might have had old inpainting. 1-12937 (1,000-2,000)

MARKLIN DOUBLE LANTERN. Circa 1905. Extremely rare and desirable, it features two kerosene lamps mounted upon an elaborate tin and iron base. An intricately detailed pole, approximately 15″ in height, with adjustable chains for either lamp. Enameled in apple green with a maroon post and upper decorated area. SIZE: 15″ h. CONDITION: Some older paint restoration and some possible replacement parts/repair to lamp fixtures. 1-13006 (5,500-7,500)

MARKLIN TIN RAILWAY STATION. Airbrushed and stenciled tin building w/ removable embossed roof. Side building shows sliding door & working hoist. Marked “Marklin Germany”. CONDITION: Station possibly included seated figures. Side building roof shows minor paint loss; otherwise, toy is excellent. 1-12904 (400-600)

PAIR OF BOXED EARLY BING LAMPS. Circa 1920s this pair of all original Bing street lamps are contained within their original cardboard box. The box retains a triangular paper label with the initials “A.W. Co.” which was most likely a jobber/store selling these items. Typical of this time period, the lamps are painted in unusual pastel colors and still retain the electric wiring and insulators to illuminate the glass globes. A crank handle on the side connected to a chain allows the globes to be raised and lowered. Although there is some paint flaking to the bases, the overall paint condition is far above average. SIZE: 16″ h. CONDITION: Overall very fine plus. 1-13153 (800-1,200)

LARGE COLLECTION OF BOXED LIONEL TRAINS & ACCESSORIES. Perhaps the most important set is a boxed outfit number 2169WS. The most valuable piece in this grouping is a boxed 773 locomotive and 2426W tender. Upon examination of the items in this grouping, there was some occasional usage and minor wear.

COIN OPERATED ENGLISH ARCADE “CLIMBING FIREMAN”. A classic, circa 1920s English arcade machine with the original intent of two players racing their fireman to the top of their ladder at the third story window. The concept of the machine was the first player to the top would get their coin back, the bell would ring, and the firemen would both descend, ready for another run. Quite a handsome machine encased in an oak cabinet retaining its original finish, fanciful cast iron legs and the facade of a typical English city dwelling, firemen gathered curbside while the right and left firemen would ascend their respective ladders. For all intents and purposes, this is a fully mechanical machine with only electrical components being a bulb inside to illuminate the building facade. Mechanism is basically complete other than the penny back reward for a successful player is no longer present. The machine is in operational condition and other than some possible paint touch up to ladders and/or figures, it appears to be in all original condition. SIZE: 72″ h x 17″ d x 25″ w. CONDITION: As stated above. When looking at front panel, there appears to have been an aged alteration to the location of the left crank/handle for some unknown reason. Rear wooden panel has wood damage and subsequently newer amateur repair made. Locks are replaced. 1-12993 (2,500-4,500)

COIN OPERATED HAUNTED CHURCHYARD WORKING MODEL. Another typical amusing English working model, often found in arcades and other venues. This model depicts a church and its adjacent graveyard. Sitting atop a grave is the village drunkard, and when the machine is activated, a series of comical encounters begin. Popping up from beyond the rear stone fence is a fellow sot and a ghost. Within the graveyard itself, a tomb at the rear opens and an ominous figure appears, and from the flagstone walkway one of the stones rises and a skeleton appears. The village drunkard must be taken aback as the cover of the grave upon which he sits slowly rises and a skeleton appears. The church, which is constructed of fancy aluminum castings, the one window opens to reveal a skull and crossbones. Purported to have been made in the 1950s by the Kraft Company, this amusing device is in a wooden cabinet with what appears to be its original finish and is wired for 220, but a converter accompanies the machine and is ready to plug into any 120 volt outlet. In fully operational condition, the machine appears to be complete. SIZE: 70″ h x 18″ d x 25″ w. CONDITION: Overall very good to near excellent, lacking keys for front door. A small maker’s plaque is missing. 1-12992 (2,000-4,000)

ROCKOLA OFFICIAL SWEEPSTAKES WITH GUM VENDOR. One of the nicest, all original examples that has come to market. In virtually untouched condition with vibrant coloring to cardboard insert, it retains a great deal of its original polychrome highlighting to front aluminum castings and retains anti-tip device within. A minor cleaning to the aluminum casting and a little furniture polish to the wood cabinet would make this a truly spectacular machine. The purpose would be to choose a horse (1-8)on the front indicator, deposit a penny, and advance the lever, causing the horses to race about. If your selected horse was the winner, the marble on the roulette style base would indicate the odds, which were anywhere from 2 to 30 to 1. Operator would pay the winner “under the counter” as this was not a gambling device, but for amusement only. The gum feature was an addition to circumvent gambling laws, thus stating the player was just buying a piece of gum for a penny. Machine is all original, right down to the rear door, lock and key. SIZE: 12″ h x 13″ d x 15″ w. CONDITION: As stated above. The only sorrow would be a bit of damage to the small (2″ x 2-1/4″) paper/cardboard instruction card on the front panel. 1-12654 (2,000-4,000)

CAILLE HERCULES GRIP TEST MACHINE. An attractive and desirable coin-operated strength tester on an original iron pedestal base. Referred to as the Caille “Hercules” grip test, this machine operated on a penny. The base and machine have a dark, marbleized finish with nickel plated trim highlights. Always a winner at any location with very little chance of mechanical failure, this type of machine was a great money maker for the operator. One would always be challenging their friend to see who was stronger. It is certain that it was not only tried once, but several times by the same players. Aesthetically, this is a very pleasing machine with a large “Try Your Grip” marquee mounted to the top of the machine. Retains original paper behind glass with slight rips/loss to paper. SIZE: 26″ h x 9-1/2″ d x 9-1/2″ w. CONDITION: Fanciful rear door and marquee are older replacements. Original cash box drawer and box intact. 1-12737 (4,000-6,000)

ROOVERS “PUSS AND BOOTS” FORTUNE TELLER MACHINE. A classic mechanical fortune telling device featuring the beloved fairy tale figure Puss in Boots. When a coin is placed in the slot and the handle on the right side of the machine is pulled, a series of motions occur. The cat dips his head, his arm holding a dustpan style tray receives a card from the vendor while his right hand, which holds a cane, lifts the lid of the wicker basket, and his body turns to drop your fortune from his tray, all while the cat’s head turns and nods. An absolutely incredible amusement device contained within an oak cabinet with glass panels on three sides. The machine itself sits upon four iron legs and the overall appearance is quite pleasing to not only collectors of coin operated machines, but the public at large. According to the consignor, while an original, it was professionally restored by Mike Gorski to his exacting standards. SIZE: 76″ h x 16″ d x 16″ w. CONDITION: Overall very fine, lacking wooden paneled door to card vendor on right side of machine. Also lacking small metal (6″ x 6″) insert panel on rear of machine as well. 1-12736 (8,000-12,000)

“ESMERALDA” FORTUNE TELLER WITH RARE ORIGINAL EDISON CYLINDERS. Over the years, many different style fortune telling machines were made by many different companies. This particular machine is one of the rarest examples, but of unknown manufacture. Most likely of the 1920s-30s vintage, one’s traditional impression of a gypsy fortune teller is in a Bedouin tent. Purchased approximately 20+ years ago at the famed Smith auction in New York City, this particular example is one of a handful known to exist, and perhaps only one of three that is complete with the Edison cylinders made for this machine and still in working order! It is fascinating to watch the actions of this unique machine as Esmeralda waves her right hand over an array of tarot cards while bowing her head and verbally giving you your fortune, which can be heard on a set of accompanying earphones. One other interesting feature is that she gives the illusion of breathing as you see her chest heave in a realistic fashion. More than likely Gary Kaplan had restored this machine for Dr. Smith and much attention was paid to all aspects and details. A top notch restoration by an expert. Included are two exceedingly rare boxed original Edison cylinders marked “Gypsy Fortune Teller (Numbers 1 and 2)”. SIZE: 75″ h x 20″ d x 27″ w. CONDITION: Machine appears to be in fully functional operational condition and is ready to move into your game room. 1-12762 (35,000-40,000)

UNUSUAL MUTOSCOPE “MULTISCOPE”. A most unusual machine, most likely made for some exposition or fair. Four square fisheye glass lenses on the front facade of the upper cabinet would allow multiple individuals to view the typical mutoscope reel. Through a series of three nobs, one to turn it on and off, one to control the speed, and the third to gain access to the mechanism are employed with this device. Massive in size, and most unique in form, a quartersawn oak cabinet embellished with wooden trims, sit atop a large pedestal base and claw feet. Unfortunately, no history or provenance are included with this item other than it has recently been de-accessioned from the FASNY Museum of Firefighting of Hudson, New York and the proceeds from the sale will be used for the care of the Museum’s collection. Machine is in operational condition, but the leather drive belt is in need of repair and the reel bundle of the Hindenburg disaster is of more recent vintage. Overall in fabulous original finish and condition, and to the best of our knowledge, there is no other known example. SIZE: 65″ h x 31″ w x 36″ d. CONDITION: As stated above. 1-12656 (4,000-8,000)

SPECTACULAR 1920s THEATER LOBBY CANDY VENDING MACHINE. More than likely, one would encounter a machine of this magnificence in a theater lobby, but one would not be surprised to see this style machine in a fancy hotel of the time period. Purported to be of the 1920s-30s vintage, this style machine was top end elegance at its finest, and perhaps the acme of vending machines. A spectacular art deco styled wooden cabinet with nickel plated trim and glass viewing windows allowed the patron ten different choices of confectionery delights. Typically used when the regular concession stands closed down between features (since theaters of the time only had a single film showing at a time. Exquisite and aesthetic form are further accentuated by the veneered wood grain, fanciful string inlay, and acid etched/reverse decorated glass inset panels. A machine of this nature from the original date of manufacture was extremely high end and obviously very costly to produce. It is a machine of great importance and presence even today, and certainly a centerpiece, and an invaluable addition to one’s collection, regardless of one’s personal collecting interests. A unique piece such as this would certainly accentuate even the most advanced collections, whether it be automobiles of the same period, art deco furniture, coin-op, early film collectors, roaring 20s aficionados, etc. SIZE: 72″ h x 57″ w x 18″ d. CONDITION: A top end nearly flawless restoration sparing no expense. 1-12988 (15,000-35,000)

The laborious process from before to after, documenting the complete restoration of the spectacular 1920s theater lobby candy vending machine.

INTERNATIONAL MUTOSCOPE VIEWING MACHINE. A 1930s-40s coin-operated mechanical viewer typically found in many arcades such as Hershey Park, Knott’s Berry Farm, Disneyland, etc. This particular device was a bit risque with adult themed images of women in various states of undress. For a penny, one would only be able to see a handful of cards flash before them, and certainly a male youth would spend a fair amount of money to see more of these pictures. Machine retains original iron marquee and vintage marquee card that matches the original reel bundle within. Aged old park paint still remains on this amusing device. In fully functional and operational condition, machine does not have typical criss-cross steel pedestal base. SIZE: 40″ h x 18″ d x 8-1/2″ w. CONDITION: Overall very good plus. Replaced side panel lock and a few extra holes where original lock would have been in place. 1-13132 (500-1,000)

EXHIBIT SUPPLY VACUUMATIC NAUGHTY CARD VENDOR. Most likely from the 1940s, this unique card vendor featured a multitude of bikini clad bathers. And for only a nickel you could get a postcard sized beauty. Doubtful that any male youth would purchase only one! An ingenious mechanism, electrical by nature, features a vacuum suction cup arrangement that would pick one card off a stack of hundreds and send it down the chute. Card vendor appears to have original pink plastic light-up marquee situated on top and original paper insert behind glass showing just a sample of the various bathing beauties available for purchase. Approximately 300+ original cards accompany the machine. SIZE: 41″ h x 16-1/2″ d x 23″ w. CONDITION: Overall, machine appears to be in original finish with original decals. Paper labels inside (minor distress) with service reminder and manufacturer’s name along with serial number (1051) stamped on wooden base. Each column has its own cash lock box (lacking keys). Machine is in functional condition, but probably in need of minor adjustment/lubrication having sat for many years. 1-13133 (500-1,000)

RARE E-Z BALL GUM MACHINE. Half gum vendor, half trade stimulator. Cast iron counter top machine by the Ad-Lee Co., Chicago. Large glass globe with decal of stylized umpire also has raised original paper marquee detailing the amount of trade the player would receive if they got one of the special gum balls. SIZE: 23-3/4″ h. (with marquee) x 8″ w. CONDITION: Overall generally very good. All original cast iron components. Decals are largely intact with some lifting. Globe shows roughness to rims. Paint on base is strong with lid lacking paint. 1-13152 (800-1,200)

CAILLE “THE LITTLE WONDER” LUNG TESTER. Rare and unusual lung tester, manufactured by Caille Brothers at the turn of the 20th Century. Dropping a penny in the slot, the person would then blow into the attached tube and thus raising the float encased in a graduated glass cylinder. Depending on the power of your lungs, you were either poor, good, or excellent. These machines at first were an attraction, but somewhat of an operational nightmare. In constant need of keeping the water level up, and even more so, the hygienics of blowing into a mouthpiece that countless people would use was somewhat disturbing. A fancy iron marquee with directions adorns the front of the oak cabinet with the rubber tube protruding from the mouth of a figure with his cheeks blown out as if he himself is testing the machine. Although similar machines have been reproduced, this is an all original example including the glass cylinder and the tin fluid container within. Only the rubber tubing, which would have disintegrated over the last 100 years and the mouthpiece have been replaced. Iron castings retain their original finish. Wood has aged restoration. SIZE: 26″ h x 10″ d x 14″ w. CONDITION: As stated above. 1-12739 (2,000-4,000)

MILLS CHICAGO 5 CENT CLAW MACHINE. Circa 1920s, this digger (AKA claw machine) is in a two piece (separate base) wood cabinet with the art deco design. Mirrored background with a boom, adjustable positioning, and a claw that will come down and attempt to grab the goodies in the tray and deposit them in the chute to the waiting player. A very nice, older restoration with what appears to be the original 5 cent coin chute insert. Locked lower cabinet, which would have stored additional prizes and a pair of Mills locks on the upper doors (lacking keys). Machine tested and in functional, operational condition. SIZE: 69″ h x 20″ d x 22″ w. CONDITION: As stated above. 1-12765 (1,500-2,500)

MILLS FLOOR MODEL STRENGTH TESTER. An attractive strength tester, somewhat petite in size, but large in appeal and presence. A front paneled oak cabinet with a hexagonal top featuring the paper dial encased behind and electroplated iron trim (paper possibly original). Dropping a nickel in the slot, one would stand on the iron base and pull the handles upward to see how much one could lift. A fanciful cast side cash box drawer with the typical owl logo on side casting. Machine overall is complete and in working order, but in need of some minor lubrication/adjustments. SIZE: 50″ h x 25″ d x 14″ w. CONDITION: As described above. Trapezoidal rear oak door an older replacement. 1-12741 (1,000-2,000)

CAILLE “WEIGHT TELLER” CAST IRON SCALE. An elaborate and most visually appealing scale with the exposed mechanism to give the correct weight for either man or woman and also the purported proper weight, depending on height for each gender. Typical of Caille, their extremely fancy iron castings and the excellent restoration of this coin operated device make this a most appealing and visually attractive item. SIZE: 72″ h x 22″ d x 19″ w. CONDITION: A beautiful restoration, the scale is in minor need of lubrication and lacking keys. 1-12764 (800-1,200)

RARE CAILLE GRIP & BLOW STRENGTH/LUNG TESTER. An unusual machine that one would use either the grip or lung portions of the machine. Various colored lights would illuminate, indicating the strength of the player. Typical of Caille, fancy iron castings adorn the front of the machine and a wooden marquee with an Adonis type figure would indicate the directions to the use of this machine. Machine appears to be in operational condition. However, having sat for many years without use, it is in need of minor lubrication and/or adjustments. Oak cabinet has been professionally restored and iron castings have been re-nickeled to make this a visually attractive machine. SIZE: 32″ h x 12″ d x 17″ w. CONDITION: As stated above.

COIN-O-MATIC CASHIER. Vintage 1930s nickel exchanger. Deposit a quarter or a dime, push the lever, and receive change in nickels. A metal tag on top of the machine proclaims, “Nickels when you need them!” Obviously a machine of this nature was mounted to the wall and utilized in an environment where nickels were king. Whether it be for slot machines or some other quasi-gambling device, the operator ensured some way to dispose of any excess coinage in your pocket. A metal tag indicates that this is NOT a gaming device and only U.S. Government coins are contained within. Manufactured by the Coin-O-Matic Cashier Company of Seattle, Washington, the case is the typical art deco 1920s-30s style and made of heavy cast aluminum. Unfortunately, this device is lacking a key, so we are unable to view its interior, but more than likely, a simple mechanism within and likely still operational. Polished aluminum casting highlighted with red trim and nickel plated coin entries. SIZE: 17-1/2″ h x 6-1/2″ d x 13-1/2″ w. CONDITION: Overall excellent. Mechanism untested. 1-12990 (200-400)

CAST IRON COIN OPERATED SHOE SHINE MACHINE. A great early and seldom found coin-operated machine, circa 1920s-30s. Most likely a machine of this nature would have been in a fancy hotel or high end restaurant and utilized by the male patronage. A somewhat massive as well as inordinately heavy, for only a penny, one could buff your shoes to a brilliant shine. Front door opens to expose the mechanism, mostly a professional grade motor and large revolving brush. Manufactured by the Automatic Machine Company of Rhode Island and Boston, Massachusetts, this unusual machine also has porcelain plates on either side indicating that for one cent you could save time and money and keep your black or tan shoes clean. Machine appears to be complete. However, coin slot is jammed and machine is untested. An excellent restoration with highlighting to iron castings and a most unique and enthralling piece of Americana from a bygone era. SIZE: 39″ h x 16″ w x 12″ d. CONDITION: Overall an attractive restoration. Right side panel has a significant triangular shaped chip to porcelain (2/1-2″ x 1-1/2″) 1-12989 (400-600)

EXHIBIT SUPPLY “WHOM YOU SHOULD MARRY” FORTUNE MACHINE. Exhibit Supply manufactured a number of different coin-operated machines and vendors during the 1920s-40s time period. Oftentimes these same machines are still in use today in such iconic locations as Hershey Park, Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, etc. Encased in an elegant oak cabinet resting on nickeled cast iron legs. At the top gallery is a preacher with a wedding couple behind glass. One would choose their appropriate birth month and deposit a penny in the coin slot, push the slide in, and receive a card. The card would thus indicate whom you should marry. This card was for men or women, but more than likely females were likely the main audience. A fine older restoration to the oak cabinet with metal trim replated in nickel. The papier mache figures and background have been professionally and attractively restored to their original elegance. Included with this machine in the lower storage area are several original boxes of Exhibit Supply cards that would work in this machine, but are not necessarily correct. SIZE: 72″ h x 14″ d x 24″ w. CONDITION: Overall very fine restored condition. 1-13134 (1,500-2,500)

MILLS “ELECTRICITY IS LIFE” SHOCK MACHINE. A classic and very impressive coin-operated shock machine with tremendous visual appeal. The upper portion of the case features a large papier mache plaque that features various embossed male figures, a circular section corresponding to your shock level with detailed description such as “These points indicate healthy heart” or “Increased voltage will benefit system”. As one proceeds to engage the handles, and the voltage increases, an arrow indicator with the Mills trademark owl rises in number and intensity, becoming a testament to your tolerance for pain. A large cast iron plate sits behind the glass viewing window, in the center of this plate is the rheostat that increases voltage. But perhaps more interesting is the visual appeal of the iron plate. Embossed on the iron plate is Ben Franklin holding a kite with Colonial buildings in the background and lightning bolts striking down at his kite. The machine is encased in a restored oak front paneled cabinet with fanciful iron legs. All castings have been replated in nickel and the background glass exclaiming “Electricity–the silent physician”. Original iron cased cash box enclosure within lower portion of cabinet. SIZE: 78″ h x 25″ d x 28″ w. CONDITION: Machine has excellent older restoration. Mechanics appear to be intact, but in need of attention, machine is untested. Decorative handle enclosures appear to be older replacements and perhaps not exact and proper. 1-12991 (10,000-15,000)

ORIGINAL WURLITZER 1015 JUKEBOX. What appears to be a nice older restoration to the classic 1015 “Bubbler” jukebox. Machine plays 78 speed records and retains an original 1957 union serviced decal on the front glass. Plastics are typical quality replacements and machine appears to be fully serviced and clean inside as well. These machines, although popular with the public during the time period were sometimes difficult for the operator; the tone arm being heavy often ate through records. Many of these wonderful vintage machines were scrapped and this also led to their being one of the most prolifically reproduced machines of the mid-1980s through the 1990s. This classic original machine from a bygone era is one of the most popular of all time. Coin grinder mechanism appears to be present, complete and intact. SIZE: 59″ h x 23″ d x 32″ w.
