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.

Banjo Player and Dancers Rare Articulated Novelty Toy
American - Circa 1880's. 10 1/2" W x 7" D x 7" T. This is an exceedingly rare black-themed toy that was manufactured by a cottage industry with limited production. We know of only two other examples of this unusual environment toy. When the crank handle is turned, the musician strums his banjo and the dancers tap their feet on the floor. A great rare piece in strong original condition.
Condition: Pristine Original Condition.
