Boucher Steam Locomotive & Tender, No. 2100 pre-war 2-inch gauge locomotive and Pennsylvania RR tender

Based on searches this week at Prices4Antiques, some people are going to be having an old-fashioned Christmas! We’ve seen searches for toys jump up dramatically and for “little” boys, the top items seem to include a Boucher locomotive and tender along with Lionel train passenger cars, a fabulous LGB circus train, and a Wyandotte mining dump truck. For “little” girls, it’s Steiff squirrel, a Steiff parakeet, a Valenti donkey, and an Arnold Print Works hen with her chicks. Auctions are full of great Christmas gift ideas for the young and young at heart, and so is the Prices4Antiques database. It’s never too late to make a childhood dream come true!
