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.

Clown and Jumping Poodle
Made by the Gong Bell Company. East Hampton, Ct. - Late 1890's. The dynamic action for this elaborate circus theme bell toy has no equal in the hobby. A system that involves a cog with a serrated edge was devised to put the dog's jumping motion into effect. As he jumps through the hoop, the greater weight of his hind quarters cause the trained canine to spin around and ring the bells found at both ends of the toy. Very few un-repaired examples of this magnificent toy have survived into the modern age. Most likely, this is the finest among them.
Condition: Pristine Condition.
