A small quantity of these were discovered in the UK a few years ago , all new in the box, but there were not really that many. These come to my knowledge in either red or blue. These toys are quite rare and are much rarer than many American toys from the same time period. Japan was still the mass producer of toys for the foreign market. Pre - 1960 toys seem to be a good investment in this condition from China. A nice oddity for your 401K. Price: $80.00 USD

This antique toy is so rare that even the counterfeiters don't even know that it exists. Patent number 844, 994 for FEB 19, 1907. Made by George P Campbell of Yonkers , New York. Initially came with 5 soldiers and 6 rubber balls. The balls if bought separately for an extra 9 cents. The Gun outfit cost 83 cents, which was about $25 - $75 dollars in todays money. This heavy artillery gun works fine and shoots regular marbles with a bit of authority and can blind a kid if not handled under supervision. It is a rapid fire mechanism that shoots when you rotate the firing handle. Holds about 12 marbles. Past sales history on this rarity is practically non-existent anywhere on the internet. The gun measures about 15 inches long by about 6 inches high by 4 inches wide. Nice condition overall and should be left alone in its' original condition. Go to Google Patents to obtain more info on the patents. This is clearly the RAREST US made Toy that I have ever handled. Adding antique marbles to the magazine would further enhance the display and curb appeal of this fine toy. Comes with a paper copy of the patent's first version and an old photocopy of the toy in a Macy's or department store catalog. Serious replies and offers only please. A superb and highly desirable pre-World War One toy. Investment quality and rarity. I really have no idea as to how to price a toy of this magnitude. Sold on behalf of an older , but very prominent Antique Toy Collector in Toronto , Ontario. Belongs in a serious US Toy Museum. Price: $ POR & Offers

The rough condition box is probably a little later from the 1940's. 13 chips light and 13 chips dark. Crokinole or caroms usually involved play with 12 chips so 1 was extra in case you lost one. The wooden cover is totally off and needs to be restored. This should be done professionally to give the box character. Hollow crokinole chips are very rare to come by. If you have an old baord, these chips are the perfect match. Great for the cottage. ! I don't expect this set to last long. Price: $50.00 CDN

In my travels over 80 % of all the cast iron I see is reproduction. So the advice I give is to learn your field, or buy from a trusted seller. This bulldog small doorstop is a real show stopper of what an original looks like. Firstly, it comes with the original dog chain ! Repros never have the original dog chain attached. This door stop has consistent wear , mostly on the back as the owner would most likley face the dog looking away from the door, such that the paint wear would be most heavy on the back of the dog. There is wear on most high points and feet , and some areas of no wear. Distressed repros have ridiculous wear in all the wrong places as well. This bulldog dates anywhere from 1890 to 1910. Nice original paint, tight seams and an unbungled straight screw. One of the nicest originals that I have ever handled. For anyone who is serious about cast iron items , this is a good starting point reference item. Price: $169.00 USD
