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.

Rare Cast Iron Candy Scale
Made by the Ives, Blakeslee Company. Bridgeport, Connecticut - Circa 1890. From the collection of Gertrude Hegarty. This magnificent plaything could easily qualify as one of the most novel and pretty toys produced during the late nineteenth century. A young girl sits at the end of the seesaw with a large apron stretched open in her arms. Her brother (or her sweetheart) daringly straddles the seesaw's fulcrum. Opposite the girl is the original basket in which you can weigh out penny candies. This is a breathtakingly near perfect specimen of this rare toy.
Condition: Near Mint Condition.
