Vintage Wind-Up Toy, Circa 1950 "Smiling Boy Polishing Boots" Rare
Located in Incline Village, NV
This is a very rare toy that I have not seen an example of before, and judging by it's action and appearance, I would venture to say it is post war, probably made in Japan for the American market (boy looks very American). I have called it "Smiling Boy Polishing Boots" which resembles the clockwork movement. To operate: hold the toy in the left hand with thumb on chest and then; wind up attached original key with the right hand several times; and release. With a smiling face, the boy will roll his head back and forth, while diligently shining his black boots, using an up and down motion with his right hand. The toy works quite well and will go on for some time. It is made up of several materials. The head, hands, and shoes are made of composition; it has a tin body; the clothes jersey, hat, and "falling" trousers" are made of fabric. The toy is in good original condition; some wear to boy's hat and jersey in back (see images), a slight "bend" to tinplate in the rear; but for the most part, the toy is very sturdy, works well, has a nice appearance, and wonderful charisma. This is a charming rare toy that operates as it should, and is a "must have" for collectors of post-war vintage wind up toys...

Vintage Ballerina Doll Factory Molds
Located in Lambertville, NJ
Ballerina factory molds. Great and unusual find! When dolls were made in the USA, factories used copper molds to form body parts. A rubber compound would be poured into the form, hardened, then be removed. These are the leg and arm molds of a ballerina. These rare and unusual factory molds are from the mid-20th century. Contrary to the exterior roughness of these forms, the interior of the molds was designed to produce a beautiful leg/arm for this ballerina doll...
