Toys, Trains, Toy Soldiers, Diecast, & More

Presented in the upcoming Weiss Auctions event are a variety of Marklin toys from the 20^th century. Included is a pair of Electric Train HO Locomotives, both in solid castings. According to Marklin’s description, this line is the company’s most successful scale that comes with a broad assortment of locomotive types. Marklin HO trains appeared in 1935 along with two other Mini-Club train models. Each train in the available lot has a detailed plastic shell with a heavy metal underframe.

Beyond Marklin items, collectors will also find several vintage Mignot soldiers. The pieces were hand-painted by the artisans of C.B.G. Mignot, a French toy soldier manufacturing company. Also on offer is a Lionel Canadian Pacific set. Created in 1957, the auction house notes that there are some signs of shrinkage and hairlines on the offered pieces. Those interested in this or any other lot can register to bid on Weiss Auctions.
