Spring 2009
The Don Kaufman Collection
Seeing is Believing
Imagine a toy collection so nearly complete and pristine that the mention of its existence has for years been thought to be only a mere legend. Its elusiveness seemingly protected faithfully by one of the world's finest and humblest of collectors, causing years of whispers and intense convention like conversations. Tales of its importance growing year after year and thought now to be of massive proportion, ever increasing any hope of an eventual unveiling, but just wishful anticipation. Imagine that this very private, yet well spotted collector did indeed possess the Holy Grail of a toy collection, and that collectors from around the world were invited to share in such toy wealth. From fiction to fact, to think this could be possible in our collecting lifetime, an opportunity that has eluded collectors in the last century, and will certainly cause a toy sensation far into this one.
Unimaginable…think again, soon, seeing will be believing, as the incredible Don Kaufman collection begins to rewrite toy history at Bertoia's Auctions in the spring and fall of 2009.
What many considered the impossible dream, will soon deliver an extraordinary bounty of toy treasures for collectors everywhere to share. Collectors of toys, admirers, aficionados of fine objects, and savvy investors, will soon have one of the rarest of rare auction event opportunities ever presented in the toy market.
The importance of the Kaufman collection offering will redefine collecting at its best, and the world class event is going to be an electrifying, once in a lifetime chance come true for many collectors.
Those fortunate enough to have eye witnessed the collection can truthfully attest to its diversity, and astounding depth in toy fields of interest. The Kaufman collection is a one of a kind. It showcases the finest examples known from multiple early toy manufactures: literally an encyclopedia of shelved beauties.
Much more info to come, stay posted, and join in the fun of re-writing toy history next year.
