NEW YORK — A collection of rare and valuable toys amassed over almost 40 years by the late Malcolm Forbes and his sons sold for $2.3 million at auction in New York.
The Forbes collection of antique toys was estimated to bring in anywhere from $3 million to $5 million at Friday’s sale at Sotheby’s. It included toy boats, soldiers, motorcycles and board games, including a handmade Monopoly game from 1933.
The highlight was a 3-foot-long replica of the Cunard Line’s Lusitania ocean liner, complete with crew and passengers, sold for $194,500 to an American collector.
