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.

Ding Dong Bell Toy
Made by the Gong Bell Company. East Hampton, Ct. - Circa 1890's. This whimsical bell toy draws its inspiration from the English nursery rhyme "Pussy's in the Well". The three central characters are all present. Johnny Green, the malicious boy who tries to drown little kitty, is portrayed with a long nose and wearing a bright yellow smock on the left. And Tommy Stout, the good-natured boy who rescues the cat, is shown clutching Pussy on the right. This toy reinforces the moral that we should be kind to animals.
Condition: Near Mint Condition.
