Over $2000 was realised for the sale of the Vitali vehicles and animals in the photo below.
Below is a lovely collection of 23 vintage wooden Vitali Figures. They sold for over $2500 on ebay.
Beautifully designed and made wooden items. Toys, Ornaments, Furniture and whatever else appeals to my aesthetic sense. Some will be designed by Kay Bojesen カイ ボイスン, Antonio Vitali ヴィターリの玩具 Hans Bolling; others may not have the same pedigree but are equally deserving of recognition.
I am curious as to recent prices for Vitali toys. The car in the above photo sold for over $400 [ebay] yet a similar one recently ended with no bids at $50.
ReplyDeleteIs there a purchaser prepared to pay top prices for models in order to re issue vitali pieces? Similar price spikes occurred with some Bojesen, Bolling and Kristian Vedel prior to re issue.
Blog readers please add comment with further speculation or information.
I grew up playing with these figures (along with my 4 siblings). Fortunately the pieces survived (even the babe in mothers arms). My daughter now gets to enjoy them!
