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.

U. S. and Spain Bank
Made by the J. & E. Stevens Company. Cromwell, Connecticut - Circa 1898. From the collection of Stanley Sax. After the U. S. Navy battleship Maine sank in Havana Harbor under mysterious circumstances, political pressure to retaliate forced President McKinley into a war that he had hoped to avoid. The ten-week skirmish known as the Spanish-American War had the stated aim to aid Cuba to gain independence from Spain. The bank clearly demonstrates U. S. Naval supremacy over the outdated Spanish fleet. A wooden missile launched from the cannon accurately hits its target every time, causing the mast to fall backwards. In the same moment, the penny is deposited. This is a positively sensational mint and boxed specimen of the U. S. and Spain bank.
Condition: Mint Condition with Original Box.
