I've always wanted to write about the The RSL Auction Company over the years, but thought that I never got their permission to write. However, I somehow had a "hunch" that I did. So this past week, I looked at my old e-mails, and lo and behold, I had received their permission back in 2018. Breanne Day, one of RSL's Senior Auction Specialists had written a nice reply to me.
"Bre" has been in the antiques business since 2011, and she quickly learned the multiple intricate layers of the toy business. Not only that, but with Ray Haradin, Steven Weiss, Leon Weiss, Natasha Rios, Julian Abernathy, and Angela Weiss, this exceptional team has managed to create a great team managing many different toy companies. These include Toys of Yesteryear and Old Toy Soldier Auctions. Moreover, Bre and Ray "have a show on Facebook Live entitled Ray and Bre Live".

I selected this exceptional toy because it was so old, yet in such great condition.
As well, the photography was great, and there were plenty of photographs.
"Made by Ernst Plank Company. Nuremberg, Germany - 1908. (Possibly made by Mohr & Krauss) 20" Long with a 14 3/4" Wingspan. Without any doubt, this is one of the most important early toy airplanes to ever be sold at auction. It bears a very significant resemblance to the 1903 Wright Flyer. The front elevators, the rudder, fuselage, propellors, motor and wing tips are all virtually identical to those found in all early biplane design. This plane has been in a prominent collection for many years. The condition for an early hand-painted German toy is very exceptional. When wound, the toy worked very well."
So that's it for today.
Thanks, as always, for visiting,
And have a great part of the day or night,
wherever you may be.
