NEW YORK – You wouldn't want to throw these toys in the playroom bin, even if you had one big enough.
A collection like no other is going on sale: 35,000 vintage toys and trains assembled by an American collector over a period of 50 years. It's so large that 5,000 pieces alone fill the entire floor of Sotheby's auction house in New York, where they are on display until the end of the month.
The collector, Jerry Greene, has kept the collection in five basement rooms of his suburban Philadelphia home, Sotheby's said. He says it's now time to part with it and wants to share it with the world, but wants to find a buyer who will acquire all of it.
Known as the Jerni Collection, it is considered the largest and most comprehensive toy collection in the world, valued in the tens of millions of dollars, said Sotheby's, which is brokering the sale for Greene. It will not be auctioned.
The toys date from 1850 to 1940 and include rare, handmade and historically significant European pieces. There are replicas of actual train stations, bridges and buildings destroyed during both world wars. There are also villages, carousels and Ferris wheels.
"I put it together piece by piece, and my quest for the highest-quality trains and toys took me to thousands of toy fairs and shows" in the United States, Greene said in a statement.
They represent some of the best known European and American makers of the golden age of toy manufacturing, including Marklin, Bing, Ernst Plant Carette, and Rock & Graner.
Sotheby's said Greene hopes a public institution or individual will acquire all the toys and donate the collection to a museum.
The name Jerni combines the first names of the owner and his wife, Nina, Sotheby's said.

Any team that can boast two ninjas, a timber wolf, a parrot, WWF wrestler Sgt. Slaugher AND Chicago Bears defensive line great William "the Refrigerator" Perry is surely a force to be reckoned with.
...and, of course, I'm now obsessed with replacing the missing accessories. Luckily, I was an @n@l-retentive kid so most of my guys are gloriously complete, but still, it's gonna be a b!tc# trying to find a couple of those clear visors (and Storm Shadow's nunchucks...and Sgt. Slaughter's baton...and Destro and Keel Haul's pistols...).
Yo Joe!
