8 FOOT STEIFF “STUDIO” GIRAFFE. These wonderful animals were purchased by stores for display purposes and were bolted to the floor by means of an L-shaped bracket protruding from their feet. This particular model, most likely from 1960s-70s had a retail price of several thousands of dollars. In any toy store, this was literally the first thing a customer would see due to its size, appeal, and coloring. In very fine original condition, but due to size, these pieces usually display weakness in the legs and neck due to children hanging off them or playing with them. This example is still quite sturdy.

EARLY FELT POLICEMAN, POSSIBLY BY STEIFF. A fine early felt policeman reminiscent of the German Toy Manufacturing firm Steiff.

EXCEPTIONAL 46″ MARKLIN OCEANLINER “THE DEUTSCHLAND”. A very rare sized Marklin oceanliner (46″ 117cm) in all original untouched condition with provenance. According to the consignor he purchased this toy in 1961 from Sally Erath who was in charge of the antique toy department at the famed F.A.O. Schwartz toy store in New York City. Most collectors today are unaware that for a number of years F.A.O. Schwartz in the mid 20th Century operated an antique toy department along with selling toys of the current vintage. In the early 2000s F.A.O. Schwartz decided to rekindle the antique toy department, but this venture was short lived. The boat is of exceptional quality which one would expect anyway having been made by the famed Marklin Toy Co. One could only imagine placing this boat in the water which is driven by four propellers which are electric powered. Most elaborate masts with what appears to be original stringing are intact along with the original flags on both masts and the original flag on stern of boat. Typical red hull with black mid-section and white upper decks. This oceanliner was accompanied by 24 lifeboats, three mammoth smokestacks, twin anchors at bow of boat and a host of other features. One can not say enough about the quality and/or paintwork that Marklin utilized while manufacturing toys and thus today is most likely why these toys are highly sought after by collectors. The boat, although a bit dirty from decades of accumulated dust could use a light cleaning although not necessarily needed. Boat is supported on a felt lined wooden cradle. SIZE: 46″ l. CONDITION: Overall condition as stated above, comes with seventeen original lifeboats. Overall alligatoring to paint, most noticeable on the red and black hull. The electric motor which was battery driven appears to be intact but untested. 1-11772 (50,000-75,000)

LARGE BING CLOCKWORK OCEAN LINER. Impressive boat due to its enormous size and its elaborate decking. Hull is red with twin propellers, large adjustable rudder. Upper hull is painted black with stenciled portholes. Superstructure has elaborate side railings, anchor with chain, two stationary lifeboats, three large masts, four removable lifeboats, three smoke stacks, four funnels, and two separate sets of steps leading to upper deck. Also has on/off switch that locks twin propellers. Retains two of its original flags. Boat is extremely heavy because of the ballasts to hold the boat upright while in water.

CONDITION: Overall very fine plus. Some scraping to paint on underside of boat and slight paint wear to bottom edge on right and left side. 1-11777 (4,500-5,500)

SPECTACULAR CLOCKWORK GEORGE BROWN CIRCUS CAGE WAGON. An American tin toy from the latter part of the 19th Century that has been tucked away in an attic and recently discovered in Rhode Island. Never before in a collector’s hands, this fabulous toy when the clockwork mechanism is activated will roll along the floor while the lioness enclosed within the cage appear to pace to and fro. This toy, when discovered was in need of minimal repair to a couple of solder joints and lacking only two vertical bars on rear of cage door. One of the finest known original examples to exist today. Painted in vibrant colors; red, blue, black, apricot and white with japanned highlights. Normally due to the age (over 100 years) japanning tends to oxidize, the japanned parts on this toy are still bright and shiny! This toy has not only great appeal but is a prominent addition to any collection as well. SIZE: 13-1/2″ long overall. CONDITION: Overall excellent condition. Minimal inpainting to white crossbar on hitch and small areas where crossbar is attached/soldered to horses. Cage wagon itself appears to be completely original other than two replaced slats previously discussed. 1-11816 (15,000-35,000)

Both figures are in completely original clothing which is in remarkably great condition with only some minor deterioration/fraying to one boxer’s trousers. Usually found on a walnut box, this is the oak version with original finish. Clockwork mechanism in need of lubrication although working and string/wire on one boxer is disconnected thus limiting his boxing action. SIZE: Approx. 8-1/4″ x 4-3/4″ x 10-3/4″ t. CONDITION: Overall very good plus. 1-12098 (4,000-6,000)

The yellow base is highlighted with blue pin-striping and red decorations. SIZE: Approx. 10″ t. CONDITION: Overall very fine plus. Mechanism functional but sounding dry and in need of some lubrication. 1-11598 (3,000-5,000)

CLOCKWORK MINSTREL SHOW WITH OLE BLACK JOE. A fabulous early paper over wood clockwork toy with chimes from the latter part of the 19th Century. A black minstrel in a stage-type setting will strum his guitar while nodding his head while the chimes play in tune. The sides, which are obscured from frontal view have a church-type litho that was obviously used on other toys as well. Patented in 1884 and 1891 and produced by the Courier Litho Co. of Buffalo, New York. More than likely this company did the litho, but probably produced and sold by well known toy companies of the period. An extremely rare toy and especially difficult to find one in this condition and still retaining the original cardboard/litho marquee. Toy is particularly vulnerable to paper loss as well as missing parts such as the marquee, strumming hand or the head. There is minimal paper loss and only visible upon close inspection due to the fact that the facade is in vibrant colors. Key is present. SIZE: 8-1/2″ w x 4-1/2″ d x 12-1/4″ t. CONDITION: Overall very fine working condition. Left corner of marquee shows some distress/bending. 1-11929 (2,000-3,000)

Many versions of this toy exists with many different background scenes. Clockwork motor is encased in a painted tin box which still retains the original stenciling “Brower’s Automatic Dancer Patented Sept. 23, 1873”. Toy appears to be in completely all original, untouched condition however there is some distress to the paper litho background and frailty to the figure’s clothing. SIZE: Approx. 9″ t x 6-1/2″ w. CONDITION: Mechanics are in working order, otherwise as noted above. 1-11809 (1,500-2,500)

INTERESTING BLACK MECHANICAL CLOCKWORK BANJO PLAYER. A most comical piece of black memorabilia of unknown vintage. This fellow has a wind-up mechanism within his cardboard body and when the mechanism is activated he strums his banjo, taps his foot and his glass eyes peer about the room. A highly detailed and molded papier mache face with a huge open mouth grin and exposed teeth further add to his appeal. His disproportionate body further make this a most appealing and comical piece of black Americana. Perhaps not a manufactured piece, but rather something created at home in a workshop. But regardless, a lot of detail, thought, creativity, etc. was involved in producing this piece. SIZE: 21″ t. CONDITION: Overall very good plus! Quite a bit of dustiness, soiling to clothing. In excellent working condition. 1-11930 (850-1,250)

MECHANICAL AUTOMATION OF BLACK GENTLEMAN SELLING COFFEE. This electrified version features a seated black figure, perhaps Moroccan, with his legs crossed, seated on a pillow, pouring coffee from a coffee urn into a cup and proceeding to drink his java. An incredible amount of movements are associated with this piece. While pouring the coffee he looks about observing, his eyes dash from right to left while his eyebrows raise and lower. Raising his left arm with the coffee cup and taking a sip of his brew his lips move, eyebrows arch upwards, eyes dash about and head turns from right to left. All in all, there are 7 totally distinct movements. This particular one was probably customized at a point in time and utilized as a store display. Certainly this would garner the prospective customer’s attention and more than likely they would be inclined to try the product. The figure himself appears to be in all original condition with some aged minor touch-up repair to the lip area and wrist. SIZE: 18″ w x 14″ d x 25″ h. CONDITION: Overall good to very good. Back wood panel door is a replacement, new electrical cord should be installed. Advertising sign on from possibly not original. Wood veneer on left side of cabinet has some lifting/loss at base. 1-11827 (600-800)

MECHANICAL TRADE SIMULATOR OF DOG SITTING IN CHAIR. Most likely this mechanized unit was produced in the 1930s or 1940s and features a dog sitting in a chair eating from a bowl. Contained within its original wooden shipping crate, a paper inside indicates that this was made for the “G.P. Rose & Company, Inc. manufacturers of dog food”. Railway Express label on top of crate indicates that it was shipped with a value of $400, but unfortunately delivery address has been obliterated. When the unit is plugged in, she drops her head and lower jaw while her left arm; with a spoon in paw digs into the bowl and raises the spoon to her mouth. Obviously this unit was meant to sit in a store window with Rose dog food surrounding her in hopes of attracting new customers to buy the product. SIZE: Approx. 23″ t. CONDITION: In fine working order. Overall condition is excellent plus! Lacking front wooden panel to shipping crate. 1-11694 (1,000-1,500)

A single crank in the back sets into motion a series of actions including a moving train in the distance, water wheels, and animating a selection of characters. Because an American flag is seen among the German and other flags, the piece is believed to be American made perhaps by a German or European immigrant because of the Alpine theme and use of American materials. Housed in an old glass and wood showcase that though not original, serves as a great means of display and protection from dust. SIZE: 33″ l x 22″ h x 13″ d. CONDITION: Overall very good. It is unknown if it is complete. It is possible there have been some minor repairs over the years. 1-11826 (600-1,000)

BAKER AUTOMATED WINDOW DISPLAY. Perhaps of European manufacture, this electrified animated figure by J. H. Animations depicts a bread maker kneading dough on a wooden table. Supposedly his head would nod while his hands would work the “dough” in front of him. The end of the cord has been cut, so we are unable to test its functionality. SIZE: 33″ h. CONDITION: Generally very good with some crazing to paint. 1-11828 (250-450)

WEEDEN DART TRAIN WITH ORIGINAL BOX. Manufactured in 1887 this American live steam engine has got a lot of charm and is truly an underrated toy. An immense amount of detail from the stamped thin tin sides to the simulated pony wheels on the engine making it a 240 Outline. Along with the stamped tin and brass engine light truly makes this an underrated piece of Americana. Included in the original box are the wooden ties and tin rails which are still wrapped in the original paper indicating “Outside Rails” “Inside Rails”.

THREE SAND TOYS. A nice grouping of three early sand toys, circa mid to later 1800s. 1) Depicting a black dude playing the banjo and on rear of box is an Andrew Emerine sticker. This gentleman was an extremely well known collector or perhaps I should say a famed collector of mechanical banks and toys in the mid 20th Century. 2) Depicts a Continental soldier standing in front of a fireplace with a black gentleman seated playing a banjo and a gentleman on the other side playing his fiddle. While the three figures in motion, a dog is also moving about and upon close examination two mice are playing instruments although these two figures are still. On rear of box there are directions and this particular piece is referred to as a mechanical box with automations. 3) Is also identical in nature to box #2 with the exception that the figure is a young gentleman. Directions on rear of box are in English, German & French and indicating perhaps the maker’s name Gerard Camagni. SIZE: Smallest is 5″ x 7″. Remaining are 9″ x 7″.

LARGE SCALE MODEL OF A TROLLEY CAR. An absolutely fantastic large scale (4″ track gauge) European style enclosed street trolley car. Undercarriage of heavy gauge steel with an intricate amount of detailing to said undercarriage/framework of this trolley. The body is constructed of wood with a full interior including a multitude of seats, trolley controls, entrance way adornments, glass clerestory and trolley pull. Pull is geared in a fashion that by pulling a string at either end it can be reversed hence when the trolley reaches its final destination it just reverses its course as the conductor walks to the other end. This piece was probably produced by a craftsman with machinist abilities and most likely made in the 1920s or early 30s. Wonderful period paint with some alligatoring to finish. Piece is most unique and a great addition for those who appreciate and understand finely made and detailed railroad memorabilia. SIZE: Approx. 36″ l x 14″ to rooftop. CONDITION: Overall very fine plus! A few minor repairs needed such as reinstalling some loose glass and clerestory and a minor cleaning to eliminate the years of dust and grime. 1-11773 (3,000-6,000)

This particular version has lettering on either side with a large picture of a cow in the pasture. Rare opening tailgate emblazoned with the word “Milk” gave access to the crates of milk within.

CONDITION: Very good to excellent with tin cylinder showing light even wear to gold and silver finish. Glass cylinder retains what is likely its original candy that has solidified into a solid mass.

THE OFFICIAL SWEEPSTAKES HORSE RACE MACHINE. Not only is this machine visually attractive and fun to play, but for the proprietor of the establishment it was quite the money maker. Gambling laws were avoided by “selling the player a piece of gum for one cent”. In reality the player would select his horse by means of a dial on the front. Dropping a penny in the slot and activating the mechanism a marble would spin about on a roulette-type wheel while the horses raced around the track. Eventually the winning horse would stop by the green flag and the marble would stop on the potential payout. Anywhere from 2 to 1 to 30 to 1. A player wishing to alter the odds or winning horse, would be stopped by means of the anti-cheat tilt mechanism and/or the original horse selected which could be viewed in the window on the backdoor. The front casting is elaborate and cast in aluminum; the sides, base and top appearing to be maple and finished naturally. Interior depicts a three sided horse racing scene complete with the track and bleachers. Machine is in completely all original condition, however lacking lock to rear door.

MILLS FIVE CENT FUTURITY. An excellent restoration to this 1930s “Gimmick” payout slot machine. A fanciful Art Deco front castings with the typical three-reel mechanism featuring cherries, plums etc. During this time period manufacturers used a variety of techniques to appeal to the potential players. One was being fancy or colorful front castings/overall appearance, the second being some feature that allowed the player to win or receive money back. The concept of this machine is that if the potential gambler played ten times without getting a winner, he would get his ten nickels back. A visible dial on the top casting moves upward each time the player does not win. If the dial goes to ten, it automatically resets to zero and ten coins come cascading down the payout shoot. There is always a small chance, as a player, that the dial would reach ten. Very unlikely due to the number of cherries on the first and second wheel, often times the indicator might be at six or seven when a pair of cherries come up and awarding you two coins and resetting the indicator back to zero. A great gimmick that attracted players for a while but this unit was somewhat troublesome and often operators bypassed or disconnected it. This machine has been expertly restored and is in excellent working order including the Futurity mechanism. Included is a reproduction wooden base that the machine sits on. SIZE: Overall 61″ t. Machine is approx. 16″ w x 15″ d x 27″ t. CONDITION: As stated above, reproduction cash box included. 1-11986 (2,000-3,000)

FIVE CENT BUCKLEY BONES DICE CASH PAYOUT MACHINE. Similar in nature to the Bally Reliance, the Buckley Bones utilized different castings with tumbling dice decorating the front casting.

A 2 or a 12 is an automatic loser and the game is over. All other numbers would be then become the point number so if a 5 appeared, the player would depress the handle again and a set of dice would appear in the right window. This would continue until the player “threw a 7″, thus the game would be over or until he threw his point number and became a winner. Various payouts depending upon the point. Obviously a 3 would payout much more than a 6 and awards are indicated on the front plaques of the machine. Not only is this machine visually attractive, but fun to play as well and one could easily understand this was a great money maker for the proprietor of the establishment. A very complicated mechanism, however it has been totally restored and cleaned as well as restoration to the exterior of the machine. SIZE: Approx. 15-1/2″ w x 11-1/2″ d x 13” t.

In the original time period of operation, this machine was visually attractive and enticed prospective players.

BALLY RELIANCE DICE MACHINE. Similar in nature to the Buckley Bones, the Bally Reliance utilized different castings with horse heads decorating the front casting. An ingenious mechanism that allowed the prospective gambler to play craps and if a winner, a direct cash payout. Upon depositing a nickel, the player would press the handle and in the left window a set of dice would appear. A 7 or an 11 is an automatic winner and a cash payout. A 2 or a 12 is an automatic loser and the game is over. All other numbers would be then become the point number so if a 5 appeared, the player would press the handle again and a set of dice would appear in the right window.

Obviously a 3 would payout much more than a 6 and awards are indicated on the front plaques of the machine.

CONDITION: Overall very fine appearance/restoration, the machine is in operating condition and payouts appear to be correct however some minor lubrication/adjustment are needed. Occasionally after throwing a 7 in the right box or a winner with payout, the machine will play for free. If one wiggles the handle a little bit it locks in properly and will not allow you to play, which is correct. Most likely from little to no use has caused a little stiffness to the moving parts and as mentioned frequent playing and some minor lubrication should resolve this issue. 1-11707 (12,000-14,000)

MUTOSCOPE VIEWER. A classic penny operated mutoscope viewer. This one featuring the “Virgin of Bagdad”. For a penny you would crank the handle, the light would come on and you would be able to view the “nudey” scene for a short period of time.

Reels and marquees were interchangeable and there was an abundance of different scenes anywhere from nudey scenes to comic character to scenic views etc. These machines produced a great deal of income for the operators with little maintenance required and the only expense would be the changing of reels and marquee cards.

These machines were made in prolific amounts by various companies and serviced in a multitude of settings such as general stores, barber shops, bars etc. Easy and inexpensive to make, they truly created great profits for the operator even though it cost only a penny to play. A person would drop a penny in the top slot and cascade down a series of nails, eventually dropping a winning position on the right or left side or more likely disappearing into the depths of oblivion also known as the “win zone” for the operator. The odds were greatly in the operator’s favor and occasionally the player might win five cents, ten cents or twenty-five cents in merchandise, but only on rare occasions.

RARE ROSENFELD MANUFACTURING ILLUSTRATED SONG MACHINE COIN-OPERATED PHONOGRAPH. Circa 1906. Coin-operated Stereoview card viewer and phonograph combination.

This machine has been professionally restored, in every aspect; inside and out. When a penny is deposited in the slot, one would put the two ear pieces to their ears while looking through the viewing window. A series of drop cards would then flash before one’s eyes, all while listening to cylinder record. A somewhat complicated mechanism that required more maintenance than the typical Caille-scope, mutoscope or Mills drop card machine. One can not say enough about this ingenious machine that combined audio and visual into an elegant package.

This phenomenal hand crank barrel organ automaton depicts a duet of courtly dressed monkeys flanking a central simian magician or conjurer in a room setting. The very animated magician nods to onlookers, blinks his eyes, and pulls back his lips in a smile as the objects beneath his two chalices magically transform into other objects. The two articulated musicians open and close their mouths, nod their heads, and blink their eyes while playing their cello and violin. The violin player even taps his foot to the music. Tallied at 18 separate movements, the trio is a joy to behold. The inlaid cabinet features a central image of a young ballerina surrounded by vines and garland.

BARANGER MOTION DISPLAY: GEM MINE W/ ORIGINAL SHIPPING CRATE. Throughout the Roaring Twenties prior to the Great Depression, America was enjoying great prosperity. Businesses were thriving, and run-of-the-mill lackluster window displays just weren’t cutting it anymore. To stand out among the competition storeowners were looking to be more inventive and innovative to draw in business. To that end, in 1925, a group of talented artists and artisans came together and Baranger Studios was born. As the company grew, they began to focus their attention on the flourishing jewelry industry. Eventually a system was in place where there was a regular rotation of a wide variety of displays making their way to various jewelry stores around the country. Numbering over 250 unique and imaginative displays, they became highly collectible and are still sought after to this day. This lovely display depicts a gem mine featuring eight articulated workers busily harvesting stones from a rocky outcropping. Realistically rendered, it is affixed with a plaque reading “Gems from Mine to You”. Pictured in the book T. Kitahara Collection–Motion Display (page 85), it also retains its original shipping crate.

JOHN MATTHEWS ONYX SODA FOUNTAIN. Elaborately designed, 12 flavor soda fountain dispenser constructed with book-matched cream colored banded onyx panels and fitted with Gothic inspired silver plated spigots, mixing valves and flavor name plates. What makes this particular example so unique is that it was constructed using the mineral onyx which provided a higher polish, harder surface, and richer look than the more commonly used marble found in competitors fountains. This particular example is labeled the “Lawrence” and was produced by the John Matthews Apparatus Company of New York City. It’s a counter top model, intended to sit on the back bar of the soda fountain where flavored syrups would be combined with “Vichy”, a carbonated mineral water, “Seltzer” or “Geyser” waters. John Matthews (1808-1870) was an English-born American who is credited with designing the first compact soda fountain in New York, circa 1832.
