A Golden Anniversary!
Don’t miss this festive town-in-a-box, decked out for the celebration of the 50th wedding anniversary of Frederick I, Grand Duke of Baden to Princess Louise of Prussia! The entire German town is carefully and skillfully constructed of lithographed card stock, including buildings, bridges, rivers, trees, and people. Beaded pin and garland decorations festoon the streets, and each building bears an individual name. Lot 348 in our September Antique Toy Auction is this amazing world in miniature, housed in a period glass and wood case with a hinged lid. It is estimated between $3,000 and $5,000.
