MORPHY AUCTIONS Fri, May 11, 2012 Auction

Doll, Toy & Train Auction, May 11 - May 12, 2012

The Friday session will open with a major offering of antique and vintage trains that comprises a good 40% of the entire 1,615-lot sale.

There are hundreds of prewar, postwar and contemporary trains, ranging from late-19th-century O gauge through 2 and S gauge.

The railroad selection boasts many of the most sought-after brands Marklin, Bing, Ives, Dorfan, Lionel and American Flyer. There are even two rare sets by American Flyers predecessor, Edmond-Metzel one of which retains its original box and three Chicago passenger cars.

Among the German trains are some coveted early Marklin O gauge sets, a handsome Bing 1 gauge set, and half a dozen mostly hand-painted buildings and stations, including a Leipzig station. Golden age highlights include an American Flyer Presidents Special in its original box and a Lionel #400 freight set with some of its original individual boxes.
