It is with a saddened heart that we offer the Tom Sage Sr. Collection of Mechanical Banks, Cast Iron Automotive Toys, American Tin and Clockwork Toys, and Blinking Eye Clocks. The partners of the RSL Auction Company had known Tom for about 45 years until his passing in November 2024. Steven, Ray, and I first met Tom and Lori Sage at the many trade fairs where we jointly exhibited in the 1980s and 1990s. As dealers, their inventory represented the best toys available in the world marketplace. Wherever they exhibited, collectors would run a mad dash directly to their booth to acquire a new treasure before someone else beat them to it. These fairs have helped to solidify enduring friendships and business relationships. Ray, Steven, and I came to cherish the time we spent with Tom and Lori at these trade shows. We learned a great deal from them, not only about the objects, but also about conducting a business with integrity. We have shared many good times together and they will be long remembered. We feel honored to have been chosen to sell this wonderful collection of banks and toys.
