Toy
auctions:
The next
vintage toy auction here in
Vintage toy
auction,
General description:
Unfortunately I have not had access to the catalog text in electronic
form this time. For this reason I have NOT included the original Danish
descriptions, but listed my translations only. Also, I have had to make
selections so that only items that I believe may be of interest are listed
Model trains: This auction is
heavy on the model trains with over 400 lots. I have not uploaded the trains part of the catalog.
Soldiers and figures: As always, there
are a number of Lineol and Elastolin
figures.
Dolls and var. old toys: I have selected a
very few interesting mechanical toys from this section.
Various collector’s items: From this
section I have selected mostly old brochures, including car brochures.
Model cars: Many rare Tekno cars in original boxes, mixed boxes, tin cars, Lego
cars, tractors and more, loads of Tekno cars for
restoration. As usual I have translated the whole of this catalog section.
An auction with
approx. 500 lots of old toys and collectors items.
The schedule
of events is as follows:
Aug. 22:: Catalog
translation complete and available at:
http://gjensen.dk/toyauctions/aucpics76
183 pictures are also uploaded in the above directory. Comments and
observations have been added to the catalog listing.
Aug. 24+25: Public inspections.
Due to travelling, I will NOT be able to take any additional pictures on these
dates.
Where to
find the catalog listing:
The catalog listing is
located at the bottom of the list found at the above link. The file name begins
with “auckat”, and it is available in Microsoft Excel,
HTML and txt formats. All of these 3 files have the same info in them, but the
Excel version will probably print out more neatly than the others, should you
wish to do so.
Contents of
the catalog listing:
Please ignore the Excel line numbers on the extreme
left, and refer to the “
The “/English transla.
[my comm in sqr brckts]” column has my English
translation of the original lot description in Danish. Please note: After I
have had a chance to inspect the lots myself, I will sometimes add more
information in [square brackets]. This information can sometimes be important.
It may include my own, independent assessment of the state, a note of any
obvious damage or defects, and sometimes even if a wind-up item works or not
(electrical items are not tested). For this reason, PLEASE make sure that you
have the latest available version of the catalog file
and be sure to read any such notes before submitting your bids. The date and
time of the document version appears at the very top of the document. Before
opening the document, or looking at the list of pictures, make sure to hit the
“F5” key on your keyboard. This ensures that you are seeing the latest
available version of the website.
The “State” column gives the auction house estimate of
the state of preservation. I find these to be fairly accurate, but of course
there is always an element of individual judgement in these matters.
The “DKK” column gives the auction house estimate of
the expected knock down price in Danish Kroner. This
does NOT include the fixed auction house commission of 25%.
The “$ est.”
column is the auction house estimate of the expected knock down price in US$,
but INCLUDING the auction house commission, for your convenience. A fair
exchange rate is used for the calculation.
The ”Pic#” column lists any pictures that may be available.
The picture number is normally the same as the lot number. Sometimes I take
several pictures of the same lot. These are then designated by lover case
letters (a,b,c, etc.) after
the picture number. Usually the “a” picture is a general overview of the entire
lot. Please note that sometimes the auction house will insert extra lots. Such
lots are designated with a dash and a CAPITAL LETTER after the lot number such
as for example “717-A”.
Tuesday, Aug. 28: Bid submission deadline.
Please ensure that I have your bids by this date.
