So here are 4 amazing items from the estate auction: 1950s Kellogg's Cereal Premium Toys. Two I found online, I have had a few of the subs, but have never had the other 3. Evidently rare. Especially the Exploding Tank & Skin Diver.
1- 1950's Kellogg's US Navy Atomic Submarine Nautilus Cereal Premium with the original instructions and the original box This small toy is 4.5" long. It is made of gray color plastic and is in excellent plus condition showing no broken or damaged parts and almost no play use or wear at all. Also included is the 2" version. You fill these with the baking soda and the toy would bob up and down in the water propelled by the baking soda. All Mint with paperwork. Return address on label Detroit 32, MICH
2-1950s Kellogg's "Western Stage Coach" Cereal Premium . This was a mail-a-way offer only, sending 35 cents along with a box top from Kellogg's Frosted Flakes, Sugar Pops, or Sugar Smacks. Measures approx. 7" long, dark brown plastic with "Western Stage" on each door; no cracks, Mint condition. Includes spring on the inside with lever on the wheel you crank and let go to create propulsion. Return address on box Basically same return address on box as the Exploding Tank. New York 46, N.Y.
3-1950s Skin Diver Cereal Premium. 9" long. Original Mailing box. Basically same return address on box as the Exploding Tank box. Detroit 32, MICH. All looks complete. The red rubber ball (floating device?) has dried from age. All other parts Mint. RARE!
4-1950s Exploding Tank & Bazooka. Army figure holds a spring missile launcher- bazooka, you load the missile and pull the lever, missile hits side piece of tank, and it explodes. Spring works, Pieces are all mint and complete. The rubber band has disintegrated from age and can be replaced. Tank measures approx. 5.5" long, 2.5" tall. Comes with directions and comic about Tanks. Return address on box Basically same return address on box as the Stage Coach box. New York 46, N.Y. RARE!
I am assuming all are Kellogg's. since there seemed to be a pattern with the return address on the shipping boxes - and all are 1950s. ALL the toys in this estate were meticulously taken care of. These toys will be listed for sale on website Friday morning 10/6/17- Toys1 pg
Monday - October 2, 2017 - Hope you all had a great weekend! We were very busy. We stayed over 1 night in Pennsylvania.

Just a heads up: I will be listing our weekly finds on Friday Morning. Since there is a holiday weekend coming, we will be leaving early Saturday - in search of toys.. and here in the Catskills, NY - the cell service is spotty.. so I can't use my phone to activate items or mark items sold right from my phone.

I have to take a moment to mention my husband, Brian. Not only is he a great husband, father and grand father.. but he puts up with all my crazy ideas and is so supportive of my Toy business. We really enjoy hunting for toys and we try to go out as much as we can. For two 60+ year olds, I think we do really well! It keeps us busy and in relatively good shape. Here are some examples of what goes on while we are in our 'Toy Mode'
Things I've said to my husband
Me: Bri, there's a great onsite estate auction 3 1/2 hours away on Saturday.
Him: "Let's Go"
Me: And we have to leave the house at 5am
Him: "I'll set the alarm"
Me: Can we fit it all in the car?
Him: "I can hold some on my lap"
Me: Is West Virginia too far to buy an attic full of toys?
Him: "We can stay over"
Me: Isn't this fun?
Him: "Yes!"

Sunday - August 20, 2017 - Hope you are all enjoying the weekend. The weather is perfect here in the Catskills, NY. Yesterday, I was busy directing traffic at our Town Annual Celebration, Shandaken Day here in Shandaken NY. It was held up in Big Indian Park...where there is NO cell service, so I couldn't post on facebook as much as I usually do. I am also the elected Town Clerk here in Shandaken, so sometimes my clerk duties overlap into my toy buying time. That's ok though - I love both jobs and it all works out fine. Our town is about 2 hrs from NY City, in the heart of the Catskill Mts. and we are quite busy here during tourist seasons. It's a great place to live and I am lucky to be able to live here year round.

Wednesday - June 14, 2017 - The mid week hump! Always looking forward to the weekend to go treasure hunting for the website!
I have mentioned before about the cool software I have on my website now.. the Product Manager, which allows me to upload, edit and list so much more quickly and accurately. Well, I asked my computer guy to fine tune it. NOW, I can go into an item, edit it, discount the price and with one click, it moves it up to the top of the category! So now I can drop the price on items that have been sitting around too long and move the up so you can find them. When you see them there.. you know the price has been discounted..so items will move! I do want to sell, so if you see an item sitting around = make me an offer! Have a good week! -joyce

*When an item sells, I have to physically click it sold.. I have super cool software that allows me to do this very quickly..now from any device.. but sometimes It may take a few minutes.. but first email confirmation of payment is always the one that gets item.

I will only be able to get one item on the site tonight - the coolest of the lot - 1959 Count Down Missile Control Set by Ideal. This is the first one I have had. MINT Condition. I could not get it to work.. although it looks brand new. Usually with the older electronics I apply direct current to the motor to get it going (sitting for over 50 yrs. you know), but to do that I have to unscrew the piece around the motor area.. and I really don't want to break anything. Selling as is, if you are handy - you can get it going. I will have that on the site in a few minutes. Here is a sneak peak of our goodies! Will get more on tomorrow.
I am working on an updated 2nd edition to my Marvin Glass book.. Came across this patent for a battery operated Frying Pan - Skillet.

Sunday - January 15, 2017 - Left the house at 6am. Home at 3:30 this afternoon! JUST finished downloading photos, now I have to list items. I will update here when all is on the site -hopefully by 10pm.
Here is sneak peak below. Also: the first photo is of our our Grand daughter, she helps me when we get back. I picked up the Thing Ding Robot game by Marvin Glass. Faith thought is was sooo funny that I couldn't remember the year it was made (not dated), and she had to look it up in my book. lol
Saturday, January 14, 2017. - Busy packing and shipping to get to post office before they close at noon. Any orders after 11am will go out Tuesday due to holiday on Monday.
We are leaving at 6am tomorrow to go down to Pennsylvania, to a huge flea market and meet up with some pickers we know down there. We never know what we will find - and it always is a fun day hunting for toys!
I just listed the very rare and cool "Fly It Yourself Helicopter" on sale from $185 to $150. for the weekend only. Thought I would try something new. This, as you may know was the FIRST Vertibird (made by Mattel in the early 70s). Well, this was designed by Marvin Glass.. and never made it in my book on his toys, since I had never seen one - and all my research never revealed it! SO, I was thrilled to find this at an auction last week. So, I really would like to approach the Rochester, NY HOUSE OF PLAY MUSEUM, and see if they will make a display honoring Marvin Glass and his contribution to the toy industry.. And I was thinking of donating the helicopter to get them started.. so last chance.. If anyone wants this .. here it is. Listed on Toys1 pg.
Monday - January 9, 2017 - Just In, Vintage Devil Halloween Costumes - Listed on Misc page!
NOON Sunday January 8, 2017. All our cool finds from yesterday's estate auction is listed on the site! Check Toys1, Toys2, Games, Vehicles & Misc. pages. Have a great day!
PS>>I love the idea that a complete painting can be done in 30 seconds or less.. that is why I always loved the Morris Katz paintings. Morris Katz holds the Guinness book or records title as the "Worlds Fastest Artist". I picked up these two oil paintings at yesterday's estate auction. Both framed & Signed. They are listed on the Miscellaneous page!
Saturday January 7, 2017. We left at 5am this morning from the Catskills, NY - to go to an estate auction 3.5 hours away down in Pennsylvania. They had some nice items. I got a great selection. The best thing, I bought the "You Fly It Helicopter" by Knickerbocker - this is an early version Vertibird! I thought it was very cool and had never seen one. SO, I put it on the chair next to me and glanced over, saw the logo & it was designed by MARVIN GLASS.. !! You should have seen my face. All my research, this never popped up. So this will be in my 2nd edition, updated book AMAZING TOYS OF MARVIN GLASS! Here is a sneak preview, I should have all on website for sale by Noon tomorrow! Enjoy
Wednesday, January 4, 2017 >> We have a winner! Thanks to all that submitted answers!
