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.

Trick Dog Mechanical Bank
Early Version with Six Part Base. Made by the Shepard Hardware Company. Buffalo, New York - Circa Late 1880's. This colorful and animated toy bank rapidly became one of Shepard's best sellers from their group of banks known as the Excelsior Series. It represents the original patented design for a trained circus dog jumping thru a clown's hoop. This motif was so popular with children that further iterations of the hoop jumping dog were produced into the mid 1930's. The barrel, with its delicate trompe-l'oeil painted staves, coupled with the exceptional quality of the dog and the rich vibrant colors of the base make this a very outstanding example of the Trick Dog Bank.
Condition: Pristine Plus Condition with Original Box.
