The Morning of Saturday, August 3rd, we will bid farewell to a unique legacy collection of American toys and banks: The Haradin Family Collection. A magnificent and richly historical archive, it spans multiple generations of a family whose roots are deeply embedded in two communities: their native Pittsburgh and the borderless realm of antique toy and bank collecting. This auction hits especially close to home for us because the Pittsburgh clan that built the collection includes our lifelong friend and colleague Ray Haradin, the "R" of RSL Auction Company. The Afternoon of Saturday, August 3rd we will be selling the world class paper lithography collection of Carl & Linda Thomas of Bluefield, WV. Included are many fantastic skittle and knockdown sets, about 15 sets of paper litho trains and about 15 to 20 paper litho horse drawn toys. Also included in this sale is a selection of still banks, penny toys, and the Kobe Toy Collection of Ron & Sandy Rosen.

Indian and Bear Bank
Made by the J. & E. Stevens Company. Cromwell, Connecticut - Circa 1890's. The Stevens Company originally marketed this toy as the Bear Hunt Bank. From a crouching position, the young Indian brave takes aim at the ferocious bear in front of him. Place your coin flat on the top of his rifle and pull the trigger. The bear's mouth opens with an inaudible groan as the coin flies into his chest, presumably killing him. Magically, the bear comes back to life with each playing of the bank.
Condition: Pristine Condition with Original Box.
