Wooden steam-powered toy 'gunboat' by Radiguet, c. 1890
1890 steam boat toy
Sotheby's to sell the Forbes Collection of Antique Toys - 17 December 2010 - Ships and Boats
*HEAVILY ARMORED GUNBOAT ~ "Andre the Giant" is in a keystone in the collection, a masterpiece by M rkllin. What makes it exceptional is that is such an early + pristine example of its kind. The delicacy of its styling, hand-painteing + detailing would soon give way to the Weissenberg-type ship that lent itself to easier mass-production. But it was toys like this that gave M rklin its worldwide reputation at the best. Est. $150-250,000
