OTSA 59 INVESTMENT RARITIES BILL JACKEY IV
Old Toy Soldier Auctions have had the privilege of selling the Bill Jackey Collection of Britains toy soldiers over the past 3 years. This was the finest collection of Britains in the world. Presented here is the fourth offering containing some of the finest sets the collection had to offer. There are many world class figures which surely will excite the most seasoned collector. In addition, we are pleased to present the Karl Schwarzbeck Collection of fine German made toy soldiers. Rarely does a collection from the turn of the 20th century remain in the original family’s possession for over 100 years. The following is one of those rare occasions. This exceptional collection is composed of primarily large scale figures (70-80mm) made by the NORIS Company of Germany. The collection was inherited by the niece of Unkel Karl Schwarzbeck, born on September 9th, 1898. He built this amazing childhood collection between 1905 and 1908. He was the 3rd generation restaurant owner in the town of Fürth. The restaurant was established in 1866 and closed in 1957 at which time the collection was passed to his niece – Ingrid. This is a unique opportunity to own these exquisitely rare and desirable figures.
