Antique Georgian
Old Toys Gaining In Value All The Time
It is no secret that old toys in the right condition can be worth a fortune. Whist most of us were bashing our toy cars against walls or throwing are action men out of the window, there were a select few who kept their toys neatly in their boxes. You might say that toys are made to be played with, but with news that vintage toys prices are reaching record levels, its hard not to wish you kept a few aside just to look at.
A record increase of 8% in toy prices at auction was seen last year according to toy valuation experts Vectis. Despite the current economic climate, more than $10mil was spent at auction last year and this does not account for private sales. According to Vectis the most expensive items to go under the hammer where Victorian rocking horses, vintage Hornby train sets and a couple of Georgian dolls houses. Most of the toys that were put up for auction last year had either been inherited or found in a dusty corner of someone's attic according to Vecitis' research.
Jake Fenchurch of the Society For Antique Toys has given his suggests regarding the occurance of the record prices. He states that as machines take over more of the toy making work, there are less hand-made items entering the market that can gain value.This means that the traditional products such as tin and wooden toys are becoming even rarer and thus more valuable. Selling up right now though is not his advice.In this growing market you should be patient as there is a great deal of upwards movement still to come.So the advice for now is hang on to those old rag dolls, Steiff bears and vintage toy car collection because there is more money to be made from them yet. Also, it’s worth checking the attic or the garage as you just might find a gem you didn’t know you had.

Frequently Asked Questions...
the experts on shows like antiques road show or bargain hunt the often pick up an item?
and say typical Victorian or Georgian or art decor and such what in 200 years time would an anteques expert pick up and say this is typical Elyzabethan II
Answer:
Yes, I think there will always be people who either want to show off their own antiques or know the value. (Don't you just want to scream at the punters tho', because if someone told me my desk was worth £10,000 I would be leaping about kissing everybody and then shooting out the door with sparks on my heels to sell it !! Ye t all those old coffin dodgers, say oh well its been in the family since Knute tried to hold the tide back and it has sentimental value - what total rubbish - any normal person sitting with an extremely valuable item, would sell it. Sorry about the rant, but I am sure these old punters will still be around in the future and selling their old Eliz.II tat.
