An unbelievable "no reserve" antique toy auction!
Chein Happy Hooligan ca 1932 & Wyandotte "Humphrey Mobile" tin wind upsThis weekend, the auctioneer at Stanton Auctions in Hamden, Massachusetts, will be auctioning off a collection probably more dear to him than most that pass through the gallery.
Peter S. Imler said his father, who lived for 35 years in Springfield, Massachusetts until he retired with his wife to the Cape, collected toys as a hobby. At the age of 86, he has decided that it is time for him to downsize and simplify his life.
His father, Joseph S. “Bud” Imler, used to dust off each toy a couple of times a month. He jokes that he now wants others to have that opportunity. He hopes his collection will now find its way to a new generation of antique toy collectors who will have as much fun hunting for them as he & his wife did.
His father's favorite toys were cast iron and tin, but they had to be original, Imler said. He was not interested in a cast iron or tin toy which had been repainted, and he wanted only mechanical toys that worked.
