Auction Details
Session I: Will begin with toy trains. The Collection of the late Attorney John G. Hamilton (collector, historian and author) will include some outstanding examples such as the American Flyer Presidents' Special, a Lionel Blue Comet Set & a Lionel Rare State Set. After the trains we will commence with a large offering of fine dolls and automatons.

Highlights are a rare A. Thullier A6T, a large BSW "Wendy", a long face Jumeau #9. Fashions by Rohmer, FG, EB, and Brus such as an extraordinary 13-1/2" Brevette Bru, a Bru Jne 2 and a rare Kestner Bru, also six Jumeaus including a fabulous E5J. A wonderful complement to these beautiful dolls are two outstanding collections of rare automatons, one from a private collection in the mid-west. Included are Vichy, Phailibois, Jumeau, Lambert & Roulet and DeCamps.
