I don't know.
I say at least $500.

I'm at Antique Asylum, meeting with owner
and longtime friend, Julie Rothman.
Good morning, good morning. - Hey, Ivy.
How's it going? - More stuff.
Let's see if she can tell me more about these toys I found.
- Looks like you got a pretty good collection.
I believe these are Wyandotte. - What do you call it?
- Wyandotte. - Wyandotte.
- So Wyandotte started in 1919 in Michigan.
They originally made pop guns, cap guns, other smaller toys.
Their slogan was "every boy wants a pop gun."
- That's a true slogan too. - Yeah, right?
And then they moved on in the '30s
to pressed steel production.
They took scrap metal, and they used that to cut down costs.
These were mainly sold in, like, dime stores.
So everyone could afford it.
- So it's kind of, like, recycled?
- It is recycled. - Ah.
- And then during World War II,
they stopped making toys because all the steel
was used for the war effort.
And then, of course, plastics came into the picture,
and goodbye, Wyandotte Toys.
- So basically put them out of business.
- Yeah.
- Now, did they have that actual color?
Because these are kind of weird colored.
- This is super '30s.
Even, like, kitchenware and stuff like that
was made in this color.
It was pretty hot in that day.
- OK.
- So this is a little dump truck.
And, of course, they're not marked because that
wasn't a thing back then.
This is probably mid-'30s, I would say.
It's nice.
In pretty good condition.
And then this is--
- Jet bomber.
- Planes, they're not always as popular as vehicles,
but it's modeled after the Lockheed Vega.
- Another funky color, black and red.
- This is orange. - Oh.
I don't know. I don't know.
OK.
Sorry, folks, I'm colorblind.
To me, that's red.
All right, the big truck.
- The big truck.
The dump works. That's good.
A few little paint problems.
Really in pretty good shape for that age.
And then this.
Box is a little thrashed,
but collectors love boxes, regardless.
- You don't have to tell me twice.
This box is never getting tossed.
- Right.
So this is the Land Cruiser.
- So that's the Land Cruiser. What's that?
- This is part of it.
It's a Land Cruiser because you could go land cruising
and have your little trailer.
- Ah.
- Yeah, so this is super nice paint.
You know, all the little doors work.
- Well, that's sweet. So now we go in from the side.
Back then, they went in from the back.
- Yeah, exactly.
- I looked all over these things,
and I couldn't find a name nowhere.
How you know this is Wyandotte?
- Wyandotte actually made the vehicles
to model current vehicles.
They made it with nice, thick steel.
So they were sturdier.
They did an enamel paint.
And this is a big clue, Wyandotte Toys.
- Oh, man, I looked everywhere.
I couldn't find that name.
I guess it would have been good to look at the box.
- Right?
Oh, look, it even says Wyandotte Toys
on the wheel there. - Man!
I need to get my glasses on.
- Right? Yeah.
- OK, that one's not my fault.
You see how tiny those letters were?
OK, the magic question.
How much do I have for everything here?
- Well, condition's good on all of them, pretty much.
This one's a little more scraped up, but still--
still, they're great for their age.

- [laughs]
- So can you tell me, what exactly are these?
I thought it was a fancy lunchbox that made music.
- Well, these are concertinas, and they're a specific type.
These are Anglo concertinas.
1820s, 1824, they all developed.
And then they really started peaking in the 1850s, 1860s
with the great age of sailing.
Because they're compact.
You can set them down anywhere.
They don't tend to roll much.
And they traveled around the world.
- They had it on the "Titanics."
I know that.
And we all know what happened on the "Titanic."
Let that be a lesson to you, America,
'cause Kenny don't fool with the water.
- It's a pretty neat, complex little system inside there.
- Uh-huh.
- The buttons go in.
Your buttons work valves, and they connect to reeds.
And the reeds allow air to go in one way and back,
and then they're held together with beeswax.
That's why you never want to leave a concertina or accordion
in a hot car because the beeswax will melt
and then all the reeds pop off.
But that's what you want to do.
You want to make sure all the buttons are working well.
- Mm-hmm.
- Put your hands through that, little straps.
Do that. - Like this?
- Yeah. Everything except your thumb.
Yeah, so push in your thumb.
It should make no sound, right?
Ah, so we got some sound there.
