Rare collectible tin toys include several lots with $500-$1,000 estimates. These will be led by a 1950s Disney 2nd National Duck mechanical tin bank, featuring Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Pinocchio, Figaro, Huey, Dewey and Louie.

There is a beautiful group of designer scarves up for bid, each being offered as an individual lot and each with an estimate of $350-$500. These include a Chanel silk scarf, a Cartier silk teal blue scarf, and a Patek Philippe silk teal blue scarf, all made in Italy.
