DENVER, Pa. - A 25-year private collection of steam toys amassed by New Mexico couple Pat and Lowell Wagner headlines a 3,100-lot holiday-themed Winter Sale to be held Dec. 10-12 at Dan Morphy Auctions' gallery in Denver, Pa.

The acclaimed 545-lot steam toy collection includes many great rarities, said Morphy's CEO and owner, Dan Morphy. "The Wagners bought only the best pieces - like the steam-driven motorcycle with sidecar, and extremely desirable steam-driven boats," Morphy said. "By anyone's assessment, it's a premier collection."

SAN JOSE, Calif. (ACNI) - When it comes to protecting its trademarks and copyrights, no one is more PEZ-essive than Patrafico AG, the Swiss manufacturer of PEZ candies and dispensers. Want proof? The parent company of PEZ has filed a lawsuit against the Burlingame Museum of PEZ Memorabilia in Burlingame, Calif., claiming the museum's owners, Gary and Nancy Doss, infringed on their copyright by displaying a 7 foot 10 inch faux PEZ snowman dispenser on their premises.
