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.

Mother Goose Chariot with Flywheel Mechanism - Paper Litho Toy
Made by the Bliss Mfg. Company. Pawtucket, RI - Circa Late 1890's. 13" Long x 5 1/4" Deep x 8" Tall. With its highly unusual friction-drive flywheel mechanism, this paper litho toy certainly ranks as one of the rarest pieces in this field of collecting. The goose runs above a spinning wheel with multiple images of his legs which gives the toy an added sense of momentum. This toy was originally in the Atlanta Toy Museum Collection. Only 2 or 3 examples exist.
Condition: Excellent Plus Preservation.
