DOWNINGTON, Pa. — On Aug. 15 Pook & Pook Inc. and Noel Barrett are bringing out their toys! That date will see an online only antique toy auction marking the fifth such auctions in collaboration with the incomparable Noel Barrett. Known to many across the country as the colorful toy expert on Antiques Roadshow, Barrett has been sharing his life’s passion with interested viewers for many years, doing his part to inspire younger collectors while encouraging curiosity and wonder in children of all ages. August’s online auction serves as a tasty appetizer in anticipation of a larger, higher-end catalog sale which is slated for early December. Both sales will include all manner of antique toys, with a little something for the child in all of us.

Some highlights in August’s sale include a substantial collection of antique fire toys, with an extensive selection that runs the gamut across both country and decade. Japanese Bandai trucks, Mignot slush metal fire vehicles, German hill climber ladder trucks, Dinky fire engines, and firemen of all shapes and sizes will be on offer. Next, Tonka and Structo pressed steel vehicles, including cement mixers, Jeeps, tractor trailers and gasoline delivery trucks will motor across the auction block, many being offered with their original boxes. Vintage model cars will follow in the sale featuring the likeness of many classic and well-loved cars, including the Oldsmobile 442, Pontiac GTO, Ford Galaxy, an assortment of colorful Cadillac sedans and one mint example of a Danbury Cadillac.

Admirers of all things teeny-tiny will appreciate the vast assortment of miniatures and doll furniture, with many chances to win the perfect piece to round out any respectable dollhouse. While you’re at it, why not make that dollhouse a doll home by finding the perfect tenant to live inside? Bisque head dolls, including many excellent German-made examples, will follow in the sale.

The online catalog for August’s Online Only Antique Toy Auction may be viewed at www.pookandpook.com, bidsquare.com, or liveauctioneers.com starting Aug. 1. A gallery exhibition is scheduled for Aug. 13-14.
