WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J. — On August 3, The RSL Auction Company hosted The Haradin & Thomas Family Collections, a two-part auction that offered some of the best still banks, toys, and paper lithography pieces to go to market in recent memory. The top lot was a “Charles” Hose Reel Carriage made by the George Brown Company of Forestville, Conn., circa 1870, and was one of the largest toys in that producer’s catalog. It went to a bidder on the phone for $312,000 with buyer’s premium. More to come on this historic auction.
