Toy Valuations
Discover your vintage toys' worth and learn the true value of your childhood treasures
Old and vintage toys can help to bring back happy and nostalgic childhood memories, which is one of the main reasons they remain such popular collectables.
Not only do these much-loved items bring a smile to the face of their owners and our toy valuers, the toys usually create a lot of interest in the sale room when they go under the hammer at auction. As a wide-ranging category which encompasses many different items and eras, it requires a lot of in-depth knowledge and expertise to conduct accurate toy valuations.
Established in 1958, we are a leading provider of modern and old toy valuations in the UK and are known to be one of the leading international auctioneers of old, rare, and antique toys. Model soldiers are one particular area in which we specialise.
We are members of three internationally respected trade associations and regularly handle items of very high value. However, our experts are often pleasantly surprised by the rare and unusual toys they see. The near perfect condition of the toys valued for sale can also sometimes be breathtaking.
If you reside in the UK and you’re thinking of selling old toys that you found in a relative’s loft or at a car boot sale, we promise to provide accurate toy valuations that reflect the rarity and condition of the items in question. In some cases, a toy’s provenance and the circumstances of how it came to be in your possession can add to its value.
Although we carry out a great many vintage and antique toy valuations, not all of the items we see are old. Even modern-day toys like Barbie dolls, action figures or memorabilia from films such as Harry Potter and Star Wars can be very valuable and highly sought after by collectors.
Whatever it is you’d like to have valued, our team of experts will happily use their considerable experience to guide you through the entire toy valuation process.
To obtain a fast and accurate toy valuation from experts who you can trust, please call 01926 499031 now!
What types of old toys are valuable?
As is the case with almost every collectable, an old toy's value is determined by its condition, age and rarity.
As you might expect, toys which are in mint condition or still in their original packaging are always much more valuable.
Although some toy collectors specialise in certain areas, the following items always tend to prove popular at auction:
- Constructional toys
- Model railways
- Diecast models
- Model soldiers
- Mechanical toys
If you’re thinking about getting an old toy valuation, it is important to speak to an expert who understands these principles and has an in-depth knowledge of vintage toys.
We value a wide variety of toys including the likes of Corgi, Dinky and Matchbox – to find out more, visit our diecast model valuations page now!

How to get a free toy valuation
As one of the leading providers of old toy valuations, we will happily provide UK residents with free information or advice about the best way to sell your toy collection.
Although you will not be under any obligation to sell, we may offer you the chance to do so in one of our public auctions or via a private treaty sale.
Written valuations for probate and insurance purposes are also available upon request for a modest fee.
No Online Valuations
We are always happy to receive emailed images of your collection, but accurate assessments require detailed research and hands-on inspection to determine condition. If you’d like to arrange a valuation, please get in touch - we’re here to help you get the most from your collectables.
Auction or a dealer?
Auctions can attract competitive bids from global collectors, often leading to higher returns, especially rare or unique items, where demand drives up prices.
Dealers operate at substantial profit margins and offer to buy at considerably less than items would achieve at auction. If you require an immediate sale, we may consider a private treaty offer.
Free valuations
Whether you’re a collector or someone who has inherited a collection, our experts are happy to share their wealth of experience. To get free advice, please call 01926 499031, you may end up receiving a pleasant surprise!
