About This European Antiquarian
Book |
This Antiquarian OUT OF PRINT European auction catalogue lists and describes 376 lots, MOST of which appear to be illustrated, of a fabulous vintage wonderland of Diecast Scale Model Vehicles, Clockwork figures, Robots, Trains, Military and other Figures ! Included you will find illustrated -- car, truck, farm, military and bus scale models, robots, cast iron / tinplate [many clockwork], model trains, toy military / farm / circus figures [including original catalogues and production models], and MORE!
WOWSERS! When Evelio and I had our antique gallery open 10+ years ago, there were many shelves reaching almost to the ceiling and display cases filled with vintage games, dolls, Teddy Bears, trains and accessories, mechanical cars and other toys, some that I acquired during my many years studying and teaching in Europe -- we had repeat customers from the New York area who later REsold them in their upscale shops. Some still remain -- I may list a few at online auction if and when the spirit moves me. This is what a very small part of the gallery looked like some years after it closed.
If you are organized in your attempts to study these wonderful playthings, this is a prima source to add to your reference library to help you update your personal computer interactive relational database (I use an old version of FileMaker Pro) -- and it is a piece of cake to burn a CD/DVD with all your data, including pics, to have instant access to your 1000s of individual information files and pics (just as I present a few in my long winded item descriptions) -- and you can even share them with your friends! When you see these vintage toys at your local flea market, estate / country auction / yard sale, you may be the only one who knows what they are and their relative value -- and don't forget to look in Grandma's trunks in the attic. This is the perfect choice for toy collectors, dealers, museum curators, appraisers, or the student / teacher researching makers and some of the vintage toys they were noted for in the past. Lavishly illustrated ! European Antiquarian Book in EXCELLENT+ Condition!! Return to |
