Toys, Model Railways & Dolls
Each of our four auction centres have dedicated Toy departments specialising in 19th century to present day toys. Dinky vehicles, diecast models, railway sets, Steiff teddies and antique dolls are all highly sought after.
Our specialist auctions often feature Dinky, Corgi, Hornby, Tri-ang, Marklin, Gebruder Bing, Georges Carette, Steiff, Simon & Halbig, Scucho, and Armand Marseille.
The demand for railwayana continues to grow to include live steam models, trains etc. More recent toys such as Star Wars, Thunderbirds, Action Men, Barbie, and Doctor Who, to name a few childhood favourites, always evoke nostalgia in the collectors and we see demand increasing.
As well as offering free valuations, we also provide professional written valuations for insurance, family division, divorce, sale by private treaty, probate or inheritance tax purposes.
Whether you're looking to sell a single item or an entire collection we are here to help and offer advice on selling and buying at auction.
Gavin Durward Tavendale BSc (Hons) is the head of Department and is always happy to conduct free no obligation valuations whether that be in person at the auction room, over email or in the comfort of your own home.
Gavin can be contacted by telephone on 0131 440 2448 or by email edinburgh@thomsonroddick.com.
