The sale’s top lot was a circa-1909 Marklin Fidelitas clown car caravan. The German hand-painted tinplate toy measures 37 ½ inches in length and is rarely seen other than in reference books. This example went to a European buyer for $103,500 against an estimate of $30,000-$40,000. Image courtesy Bertoia Auctions.

VINELAND, N.J. – Long lamented as a bygone era, the days of toy collector kinship were revived with an electrifying spark as a global contingent of buyers convened at Bertoia Auctions on March 19-21 for the debut of the Donald Kaufman auction series.
Built over a period of nearly 59 years, the internationally renowned Kaufman collection’s initial outing rang the register at $4.2 million, setting a house record for Bertoia’s and sending a message of confidence about the toy-collecting hobby that was obvious to all in attendance.
