A Kenton horse drawn stake wagon with two horses, one white, the other black, driven by a yellow painted man mounted on a Kenton blue stake wagon. We suspect that this toy represents very late production for the firm in the early 1950s, although it had been produced for many years during the firm's lifetime...

Cast iron horse drawn sulky attributed to Shimer, Son & Company, a small toy manufacturer from the 1890s to no later than 1920. This sulky is nickel plated and all one piece. Condition is good with about 25+% finish loss, some rust on the horse particularly on butt and head, wheels are wobbly. Shimer is a hard to find maker and this example has all of the wonderful qualities of turn of the century toys. Dimension: 6 1/4" l

This antique cast iron horse drawn fire truck consists of a horse drawing a water pumper driven by a fireman molded into his seat. The toy c. 1900 - 10 and attributed to Shimer, Son & Company, a small Pennsylvania toy firm which was active from the 1890s to perhaps as late as 1920. The underside is embossed with 1075, presumably a model number. This model is nickel plated. The condition is good, having around 20-25% paint loss, wobbly wheels, two of which are missing hub caps...

A brilliant true chromolithograph for Southdown tobacco by Macnil-Zimmer-McGill Tobacco Company, Petersburg, VA USA Registerd US Patent Office. Super nice condition with a printing flaw in the S of Southdown where the red did ink did not cover its assigned space. Framed in heavy oak frame with bubble glass. The picture was difficult to photograph, so you see glare in the image. This image and ad are well above average. Dimension: 13" x 13"

A super nice vintage shooter marble with white base and aventurine and oxblood patches. No defects. Dimension: 7/8"

The private and prestigious Peachtree Gulf Club in Atlanta, Georgia sponsors its own annual membership tournament, the trophy of which is this distinctive ivory porcelain bowl with the PCG monogram and inscription for the 2007 championship, specifically, Peachtree Golf Club Champion 2007.

A ceramic oval covered vegetable dish decorated in vivid painted red, black, and green flowers interconnected with transferred branches and stems in full coverage of lid and bowl. The handles are lined with green and have red dots on the main surfaces. The condition is good although the foot has two shallow gouges; the interior has modest staining and other signs of wear; and the handles show loss of finish...

A monumental serving platter in the Cenis pattern by Ridgways. The motif features branches with pineapples, emphasizing hospitality. The condition is very good, yet expect a scratch or two, and some discoloration - but far less than commensurate with age. The platter wobbles, a not uncommon affliction of these older ceramic pieces as they were difficult to make in this size. This superb example dates to 1871, and is back stamped with Ridways Stoke on Trent, Cenis Dimension: 21 1/4" l

An exceptionally well crafted belt buckle celebrating the Montana state centennial 1889-1989 created by Montana Silversmiths. This example should not be confused with the far more common versions plated with sterling silver as this one made of solid sterling silver with 22K gold plating. Montana Silversmiths is well known for their highly artistic and superbly executed belt western belt buckles...

An orange painted cast iron wagon with nickle wheel and pull, embossed with Express Flyer on the two long sides of the wagon. This toy is an excellent specimen of a somewhat hard to find category and is in very good shape with about 90-95% of its original paint intact. The nickle palated areas have corroded to a significant degree as has the pull. Nonetheless, the condition is well above average...

One of Kenton's marquee product lines was its Overland Circus which featured numerous horse drawn vehicles of which we have perhaps the most coveted, the Overland Circus Band Wagon. It is drawn by two gilded white horses with red painted gold capped drivers leading a large red wagon with harps and lion heads, all loaded with 8 intrument playing men, and led by a master driver. The arms on the band members are articulated allowing modest movement...

Although its longevity in the toy business was a few short years from 1882-92, the Shepard Hardware Company had an impact far beyond its size, receiving patents for 15 banks, many of which have become classics of the genre, including the one we present here, the Jolly Nigger for which the company received its first mechanical bank patent on March 14, 1882...

A set of 12 Gorham King George pattern soup spoons in very good to excellent condition, and lightly monogrammed. The bowls have slight scratches in some cases. The sterling mark has also worn off on some of the spoons, but we guarantee that each of these hefty spoons is sterling silver. Approximate weight per spoon is 2 1/2 troy ounces - an exceptionally generous amount of silver. Dimension: 7 1/8" h

For Falcons fans, this is as good as it gets. This official NFL helmet was signed by all Falcons team members of Super Bowl XXXIII of 1998 which they lost to the Denver Broncos 34-19 after compiling a 14-2 win/loss record. To date, this is the team's only Super Bowl appearance, making this fine helmet a highly desirable piece of memorabilia. The exceptional case with mirrored back and Falcons team logo is included but not pictured...

This exciting horse drawn fire engine is clearly in a race against time, but the timelessness of this toy endures. It features a single horse pulling a fire pumper driven by a single fireman. We believe that the paint may be from a very old repaint job but it has, ironically, protected it from rust. The right rear wheel is missing a cap and all wheels are wobbly. The interior wall under the driver's seat is embossed 1075...

Cast iron Eagle Bank in original nearly pristine condition. The bank features a mother eagle perched on a rock overlooking her two eaglets in their nest, ready to feed them when activated by the back lever which works well. The underside is marked Pat Jan 23 1888. We rarely come across cast iron banks this state of fine preservation. The only minor paint losses are around the black base. This bank is an antique show piece. Dimensions: 8 1/4" l
