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.

Robber Kitten Picture Cubes
Made by McLoughlin Brothers. New York City - Ca. Late 1890's. Box Measures 8 1/4" Long x 10 3/4" High. Robber Kitten is a children's book written by Robert Ballantyne and originally published in 1858. Cats and kittens were extremely popular imagery with small children. For this reason, there is a great profusion of paper toys that feature our feline friends. This pretty twelve cube set portrays four different scenes of Whiskey the Robber Kitten and the cubes can also be arranged to display the letters of the alphabet.
Condition: Cubes Near Mint - Box Pristine.
