VINELAND, N.J. — A Marklin toy battleship, HMS Edward VII, led the day at Bertoia Auctions’ March 25 signature sale of toys, trains and bears, bringing $150,000, including the 20 percent buyers premium. The 20 ½-inch model was notably well-preserved and retained its original masts, lifeboats and guns.
A complete report on the auction will follow in an upcoming edition.
