Antique Toys Auction by a Traveling Collector; DAVO Collection

Featured in the upcoming Antique Toys event, presented by Morton Subastas, are several Steiff toys from the early 20th century. These include a toy cow and bear, both on wheels. According to Steiff collector and dealer Rebekah Kaufman, the long-lasting materials used to make these toys make them noteworthy to collectors. Steiff toys also, says Kaufman, “mirror the aesthetics and ethos of the decades in which they were produced.” 

Beyond Steiff, bidders will also find a late 19th-century rocking horse. The horse is carved of wood and decorated with real horsehair. Morton Subastas notes that there are some signs of wear and missing parts on the piece. Also available is a jester toy on wheels from Paris. The jester wears a red and blue gown and holds a string of bells in their hands. Those interested in this or any other piece can register to bid on Bidsquare.
