One-Of-Three Known Felix The Cat Carousels Among Featured Items
Milestone’s Saturday, May 3, Premier Vintage Toy Auction offers a treasure trove of classic 20th-century toys from the legendary manufacturing hotspots of Japan, Europe and the United States. Led by an extraordinary Gunthermann Felix the Cat tin carousel, the 814-lot sale is also highlighted by a 330-piece freshto-the-market battery-op collection, Continental toys and autos; robots and space toys; motorcycles, and big, super-hot postwar racers. Most of the toys entered in the auction come with their coveted original boxes, some of which are even harder to obtain than the toys they house.
That irrepressible cartoon feline, Felix the Cat, leads the esteemed toy lineup in his usual fun-seeking fashion, this time in the form of a rare Gunthermann (Germany) tin windup Felix the
end of the parade so it could fly high and thrill kids all over New York City. Also in 1928, RCA and NBC began testing their early television equipment with an image of Felix, and 18 years later when a coin-operated TV receiver was set up in Manhattan to introduce consumers to the new form of entertainment, they chose Felix to share the screen with test patterns. He’s been a hugely popular multimedia icon for over a century, since his debut in a 1923 comic strip.”
The Gunthermann Felix the Cat Carousel in Milestone’s auction is one of only three examples of its type known to exist. In excellent condition, this fabulous rarity is offered with a $20,000-$40,000 estimate. Right alongside Felix is the auction’s flashy pace car, a rare and coveted Yonezawa postwar-Japanese Atom Jet 58 Racer. Friction-powered and all original,

Cat Carousel marketed in 1928. The visuals on this toy show Felix driving an open roadster and also riding on top of a zeppelin, both forms of transportation that captivated the public at the time of the toy’s release. Another Felix figure on the base cranks the carousel, and graphics of the wide-eyed cat running in full stride encircle the carnival-style canopy.
“Felix was a phenomenon in the 1920s,” said Miles King, co-owner of Milestone Auctions. “His image was chosen for the first-ever balloon to appear in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (in 1927). The following year, a helium-filled Felix balloon was released at the

including its tailfin, tires and hubcaps, this lavishly-detailed automotive favorite comes complete with its original paper-label box. At 27 inches long, it’s one of the largest and most attractively lithographed Japanese toys ever produced, combining aspects of Formula 1 racecars with imaginative design details of futuristic rocket-powered vehicles. Glossy and bright, this highly sought-after vehicle looks as though it has never been played with, and that’s quite a feat for a toy that’s nearly 70 years old. It will roll across the auction block with a $30,000$40,000 estimate, and, according to Miles King, its required opening bid of $10,000 has already been met. “This one will fly,” continued King.
