By RSL Auction Company
Aug 3, 2024
295 US Hwy 22 East, Suite 204 West, Whitehouse Station, NJ 08889, United States
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.

Boxed ABC Drums Set
Unknown Manufacturer. Produced Early 1900's. 6 1/2" Wide x 12" Tall. This fascinating group of eight drums presents the letters of the alphabet on the upright sides of each drum. The actual drumming surfaces are decorated with scenes of soldiers and children, a truly bizarre mixture of imagery. We know of no other examples of this rare & unusual instructional toy. Outstanding quality.
Condition: Pristine Plus Condition.
