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 Bell Ringers
Made by the Gong Bell Company. East Hampton, Ct. - Circa 1890's. Jerry Smith Collection Auction. This is one of the most colorful and amusing bell ringer toys ever manufactured. We find two clowns riding back to back on the arched spine of a mule. They hold on for dear life; one to the animal's ears and the other to his tail. Chimes suspended from fishing rod poles alternate striking the bells positioned at the two ends of the toy. To further accentuate the comical nature of this toy, the designers at Gong Bell have used a wheel design that is a strange iteration of Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvius Man.
Condition: Near Mint Condition.
