Toys, Dolls, & Figural Cast Iron Day-2

The second day of the Toys, Dolls, & Figural Cast Iron auction by Morphy Auctions is replete with dolls, bears, and toys.  A cuddly companion to Day 1, Day 2 contains Barbie and Disney figures, as well as several valuable lots of baby dolls. But the Bisque dolls are arguably the showcased items, with smooth porcelain faces and real human hair. One French Bisque Bebe doll, in particular, is a unique find because of the contrast of its pale blue eyes and “sunburnt” complexion. This doll by Jumeau contains her original fully jointed wooden body, stamped, with a costume of fine laces and pink inserted silk bows. A gorgeous addition to any collection, she is beautifully preserved and lifelike. 

 Also included in the auction are incredibly rare games from the past, including a gold rush inspired “Going to the Klondike.” Made in 1898, it features a grizzly bear spinner and wood pegs that are moved up in an illustration of pristine Canadian territory. There is also a Santa Claus board game as well as a moose hunt game. And while the latter has gone out of fashion in modern times, it is an incredibly interesting piece of Americana and possibly the only one in existence. There are several lots of early Halloween celebration including a pumpkin man, and lots of valuable marbles.  To find more, go to Morphy Auctions.
