Animated "Black Man" Bank, c.1930, Saalheimer & Strauss, Germany

Animated "Black Man" Bank, c.1930, Saalheimer & Strauss, Germany; 7”, lever extends tongue to deposit coin while eyes roll; this is a nice example from this sought–after series of banks (others include “Bonzo” & several Mickey Mouse variations); trap present, but no key; a few small areas of paint loss to face, but they do not distract from the overall appearance; C8.

Superman” 500 Piece Picture Puzzle “Superman Over the City”, 1940, Saalfield “Superman” 500 Piece Picture Puzzle “Superman Over the City”, 1940, Saalfield, 11 x 8.5” box, makes a 16 x 20” color puzzle, appears unused (we’re told it’s complete) in crisp C9 box; a great pre-war SM piece.

Shootin’ Shell Fanner and Buckle Gun 2 Gun Holster Set”, 1958, Mattel

“Shootin’ Shell Fanner and Buckle Gun 2 Gun Holster Set”, 1958, Mattel, this is the deluxe set w/ a still soft “top grain cowhide holster” & six lead / brass dummy bullets; a mint “buckle gun” (releases & fires as you push out your stomach); a mint Fanner cap pistol & 8 Shootin’ Shell cartridges w/ 18 bullet noses in cloth bag; this incredible set is complete as issued in crisp C9 box.

1953 Packard Patrician

“1953 Packard Patrician” (restored), 1950s, Alps Shoji Co., Japan, 16”, tin friction; this piece was consigned by the restorer, who enlisted his uncle (a custom jeweler) to perfectly reproduce both headlights, the side chrome strips & the hood ornament out of real silver, which was then chrome–plated to match the existing parts; the result is spectacular; considered to represent one of the pinnacles of Japanese tinplate, this is among the rarest & most desirable tin vehicles ever made.
