He stands there catching his breath, right in the middle of everything. That American moving man in a checkered shirt, the kind you wind up and set loose to haul the crate across the floor back home. He's like a guest from a bygone era. But at Auktionshuset Kolonn, he's among friends. They've gathered over 100 years of toy history and now present more than 260 lots that will make you want to be a child again.
Here are a few samples. The German toy carousel is nothing short of wonderful. The X-ray machine from the late 1800s, perfect for any six-year-old doctor. And then there's the unassuming crossing guard who has stood by his little house since the 1930s, keeping track of departures and arrivals.
The variety is great, and the catalogue includes comic books, Märklin locomotives, action figures, a chubby tank, a Japanese clown, a few speed demons with sidecars, Elastolin figures, a fleet of aircraft, a complete Christmas light set, and, as they say in contexts as abundant as this one, much, much more.
A warm welcome to feast on toys at Auktionshuset Kolonn!
