This is my second post about Marz Auctions. I had "discovered" this fine company on LiveAuctioneers, and asked for permission to write about them and their fine toys. What attracted me to their January 16, 2024 auction were several qualities. The first was the fine photography, followed by very interesting toys that I normally don't see at auctions. Finally, their written descriptions were well-written and provided nice information for readers.
Above:
"Large Hubley Toys Cast Iron Coupe (Lancaster, Pennsylvania)
Great mid-1920's bug-eyed coupe. Difficult to find a very large Hubley Coupe,
circa 1925. Toy appears to be all original, with great nickel-plated driver
Above:
"One of a kind item! This is a custom wood hand-made Jeep and driver that
was made by someone in Belgium. It was given to a sergeant just after the war
was over and Europe was liberated. It has a motor in front, but does not work.
The figure is also hand-carved. The Jeep measures 15" long x 6.5" wide. The windshield folds down. The chassis is not attached to the frame. The driver is 9" tall and
semi-poseable. A great face smoking a cigar. The canvas roof can also be closed.

with light detailing (no lever present). Toy comes restored in proper blue and silver, with original tires. Approx. 6.25" long

"Antique European hand carved puppet dating to the early 1900's.This gentleman
features a wood head with detailed carving and hand painting of his beard, hair, and facial features. He is dressed in a hand sewn costume that includes a large attached cape. Elaborage clothing. with hat features metal sequins and metallic rickrack trim throughout.
Unique, as the large waistband piece is actually pieces of a zipper. Costume of silk, cotton, and velvet. The wooden head piece is approximately 6 1/2" (16.51 cm) in length and
3 3/4" (9.525 cm) in width. The length of the entire doll is 21"(53.34 centimetres)
(There is a much more expanded description on LiveAuctioneers)
Above:
" Antique Unusual Native American Walnut Head Beaded Leather Horse Riding Doll"
This is a most unusual and display worthy piece. The doll appears to be made of stuffed leather, cloth, and hair. The trim of the horse blanket and the rider's clothes are beautifully beaded. The head of the rider is a front-facing walnut. The piece is definitely a quality item for display, and it comes with a Glass windowed Display Box. The. doll was acquired from an estate sale of an avid Native American Collector, with most of the pieces dating from the early 1800s-1920s. We purchased a large selection of the collection, as can be seen on our currently listed Hudson Bay Copper Trade Bead Pendants, dolls, and fetishes.
Measures approximately 9 1/2" tall x 8 1/2" Long (24.13 cm x 21.59 cm).
Above:
Rare North and Judd Model A Coupe cast iron in red.
Toy is expertly restored with nice nickel wheels and unusual cast in rear trunk/
These are extremely difficult to find in any condition.
Length: 4" long (10.16 cm)
So that's it for today.
If you have any questions or would be interested in having a post written for you, please feel free to write me.
As always, enjoy a great part of the day or night, wherever you may be.
