Auction 76 Catalog -- The Irwin Elson Collection of Civilian Toy Figures -- October 15, 2022
A message from Irwin:
I have been collecting lead soldiers since I was 7 years old, purchasing my first set of soldiers at J.L. Hudsons in downtown Detroit.
Years later In the 1970s I came across a plastic Polar bear marked Britains on the bottom while visiting an antique fair with my young daughters.
That ignited a desire for more. Since then, I have scoured the world for Farm, Zoo, Circus, R.R. and the like through monthly lists, Auction sales, visits to England, France and Germany, shows and today, mostly via the internet.
The rest is history and 9000 pieces of grand accumulation that I hope will find their way into other collections to be enjoyed as much as I have.
