Old Toys Now Worth Even More
Depending on your toy collection, you could be sitting on an absolute gold mine. Most of us abused our toys and did really worry too much about their future value, but some people did, and were very careful with theirs. 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.
Auction house Vectis has reported that last year the price of toys went up by around 7%, the biggest increase since 2001. 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.
Ted Bowers from the Antique Toys Society has also spoken about the rising price of old toys. He argues that there is a serious lack of hand-crafted quality toys being made these days, and instead companies are opting for cheaper, mass-produced items.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.
