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.

Squirrel and Tree Stump Bank
Made by Mechanical Novelty Works. New Britain, Connecticut - Circa 1881. Like a squirrel who hides his surplus acorns when times are good and nuts are plentiful, the forward thinking child who chooses to save his spare pennies will turn them into dollars. Lessons teaching children the virtues of thrift and economy were ever-present in Victorian Society. To operate the bank, place your coin on top of the squirrel's acorn. Press the lever and watch him lean forward to make a deposit in the hollowed out tree stump. This magnificent condition bank was discovered about ten years ago. It's an absolute dazzler.
Condition: Near Mint Condition.
