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.

Uncle Sam and the Don
Made by the Gong Bell Company. East Hampton, Ct. - Circa 1898. From the Bob Stewart Collection. This colorful bell ringer references the brief conflict known as the Spanish-American War that took place over 4 months time in 1898. Visually, Spain is represented by a Moorish dressed figure and the US is symbolized as Uncle Sam in patriotic costume. They meet to fight a duel. Uncle Sam's sword is raised high up in the air, while the Don's sword is in a lowered position, indicating America's victory in this battle. Absolutely stunning quality.
Condition: Mint Condition.
