Collection Detail
 


Doug and Pat Wengel have been collecting and dealing in early Disneyana and other character collectibles for 40 years.

Although their emphasis has been on vintage lithographed tin toys, including sand toys, children’s tea sets, tin wind-ups and containers, they love the “unusual” regardless of the material. Other interests include ceramic tableware, both children’s and adults’, textiles including handkerchiefs and pillow covers, games, puzzles, greeting cards and post cards, all displaying comic characters from the vintage years of the 1930s.

They have given seminars at the former Disneyana Convention at Walt Disney World and at other meetings and conventions. Doug has authored articles in various magazines on tin containers and tin lithographed toys, while Pat has concentrated on early children’s dishes. In 2008 they co-authored the definitive book  “Comic Character Metal Sand Toys” and a number of photo examples from that publication are featured in this auction along with an overall great assortment of classic and rarely seen Disneyana as well as other comic character sand pails. As with any collection, the time has now come for these treasures to find new homes.

The Wengels have had a long and cherished relationship with Hake’s and we are more than pleased to be able to offer items from their collection to our customers.
