Model Soldiers & Toy Auctions
From playroom to the auction room, we can help unlock the value of vintage toys
Toy auctions cover a whole spectrum of categories and are an increasingly popular way to sell model soldiers, entire toy collections or valuable single items.
Established in 1958, we are a leading UK toy auctioneers and valuer of collectables with an excellent reputation and extensive database of buyers from around the world, helping us to achieve the maximum possible returns on your behalf.
The vintage toy auctions we organise are made up of many subjects including model soldiers by Britains, King & Country and Trophy Miniatures, and plastic figures including Star Wars, Barbie and Action Man. Foreign manufactured items are also listed.
Each sale has miscellaneous sections; antique toys and vintage toys to more recent items which are becoming highly collectable. In our experience, dedicated toy auctions allow us to market your items to achieve their full value.
Whether you’re looking to sell in our model railway auctions, find an antique in our model toy auctions or simply buy some classic vintage toys, we can accommodate your every need.
