An Interesting 1928

Arcade Sand Loader

    I was on Liveauctioneers yesterday, when I came across an interesting Arcade cast iron toy. I checked my Arcade catalogues (1936 and 1940), but this particular toy was not there. This sand loader must have been discontinued by the time the 1936 catalogue and production had started. What's interesting is the design, which is different. It's more square-shaped than rectangular, and it's made both of cast iron and pressed steel. On a rare occasion, one can fine a composite-metal  toy, but it's rare. cast iron toys are 99.9% cast iron, and pressed steel toys are the same.

   I decided to simply present the 5 past listings from Bertoia Auctions, and let you visit their website to see which of the 6 sold for the  highest prices. Of course,the condition will tell. I've left out the descriptions, save for the first.

Please click here to visit Bertoia Auctions fine website

When you go to the Bertoia website, type in" Arcade Sand Loader", and the 5 past Arcade listings will appear. You can then see if you selected correctly in terms of the highest to lowest pieces at the final hammer of the auction gavel.

Here's a clue for the listing above - It was repainted!

Thanks for dropping by,

and as always have a great part of the day or night,

wherever you may be.
