Collectables and Toys
The Collectables and Toys Department deals with a wide range of artefacts, ranging
from Collectables such as Coins, Stamps and Posters, Militaria, Medals and Edged
Weaponry through to Toys such as Diecast Models, Railwayana, Dolls and Teddy Bears.
The department is responsible for the twice yearly Collectors sale, which is perhaps
one of the most eclectic (and eccentric) auctions on the
sale calendar.
As the most interesting and fluid market in the auction world, with ever changing
demands and interest, the main driving force for buyers and collectors is nostalgia.

Brian Goodison-Blanks, an expert in collectables, toys with the past as he recalls
British toys made in the mid-20th century, recollecting such names as Britain's,

then in his childhood as they are to him now today.
