Noel Barrett's "Toys & Other Things" Auction

From Noel Barrett Auctions:
At the Nov. 15-16 auction event at the Eagle Fire Hall in New Hope, Pa., Barrett will present toys from several consignment sources, including the lifetime collections of a revered New England couple, the late Stan and Priscilla Cypher. “Stan was the grand old man of the toy hobby,” said Barrett. “He was historian of the ATCA, and he and Priscilla were very knowledgeable and well-liked dealers. The fabulous cast-iron airplanes in this sale, as well as the best of the Marklin 1 and 0 gauge trains, are from Stan’s collection.”

Several other highly refined collections will contribute to the well-rounded auction offering. Boats, tinplate toys and beautifully lithographed paper-on-wood toys, games and puzzles have come from the Andy Lukach collection and one other private collection, while Tucson-based Bernie Resnick’s collection filled out many categories, from Metalcraft pressed-steel trucks and cast-iron toys to Japanese celluloid and comic character toys.
