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.

Trick Pony Bell Ringer
Made by the Gong Bell Company. East Hampton, Ct. - Circa 1895. The Gong Bell Company created a large group of bell ringer toys based on a design that used a freely swinging axle attached to a second axle that runs between one pair of the toy's wheels. In this instance, the pony pivots right and left, striking the bell with a pair of chimes attached to a rod he holds in his mouth. This toy retains its mint and original painted surface.
Condition: Near Mint Condition.
