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.

Fifteen Piece ABC Block Set
Made by the J. H. Singer Company. New York City - Circa Mid 1890's. Box Measures 11" Wide x 10 1/2" High. Without any doubt, this is one of the most exquisite toys in the Thomas Collection. The letters and their corresponding pictures are very clearly presented. There are two extra blocks with images of Punch & Judy and the numbers. The reverse sets up as five images of men that include a king, an oriental, a soldier, a beer drinker and an exotic emir. The narrow sides illustrate fifteen soldiers and images of five animals that include a wild boar, a sly fox, a fierce tiger, seals at play and the wolf devouring a lamb. This block set is positively amazing quality.
Condition: Box & Blocks are Near Mint.
