Collectible toys - including a niche collectible, miniature dioramas - will be featured at two suburban sales this weekend.
The dioramas, along with an assortment of dolls, will be offered by Stephenson's Auction beginning at 5 tonight at its gallery, 1005 Industrial Blvd. in Southampton. Roughly 35 dioramas, electrified models each about 13 inches high by 25 inches wide and 12 inches deep, depict a variety of quaint scenes with miniature furniture and figures about 6 inches tall.
A barbershop diorama includes a shoeshine stand, a brass clothes tree, a barber pole, and a cigar-store Indian. A costume and shoe salon displays footwear ranging from galoshes to ballet slippers.
An 1870s trophy-room diorama comes with hunter, animal heads, a gun collection mounted on the walls, a hand-painted landscape, and a globe reflecting the world as it looked in 1850.
