EARLY AMERICAN TIN HORSE PLATFORM BELL TOY.

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

Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - Spring 2015

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
