CREME DE LA CREME TWENTY TWENTY-ONE
By RSL Auction Company
Aug 21, 2021
295 US Hwy 22 East, Suite 204 West, Whitehouse Station, NJ 08889, United States

The RSL Auction Company is very pleased to announce its adoption of a new auction format that shall henceforward be known as the “Crème de la Crème Auction”. This phrase originated in France perhaps three centuries ago. Its earliest use stems from culinary references related to cheese produced with the finest creams. In modern parlance, the phrase has simply come to mean the ‘very best’, whether in reference to people or things. As the phrase implies, these auctions will be extremely small with only the very best quality offerings on the market.


Our first crème de la crème sale will take place this summer on Saturday, August 21st at our auction facility in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey. The sale will showcase 300 stellar pieces that will include architectural still banks, dynamic themed spelter still banks, figural still banks, tin and cast iron mechanical banks, bell toys, cast iron animal drawn toys, European tinplate planes, trains, automobiles and novelty toys, rare examples of American tin and mechanical toys and several prized pieces of folk art. In the future, we will plan to create one crème de la crème sale every summer.

Sentry Emerges from Guardhouse Bank
Assigned Provisional Patent 15103/52. English - Late 1930's - 9 1/4" Tall. From the Perelman Toy Museum. This is exactly the type of "one-off" unique toy bank that would have sent Leon Perelman into the outer stratosphere with excitement. The bank was assigned a provisional patent, but it may never have been made. This facsimile patent model is made of wood. cardboard, paper and tin. To operate the bank, push the soldier into his sentry box until he clicks into place. Coins deposited into the slot in the roof cause guard to pop out at attention . Here's a chance to own something truly rare.
