A Fine British Toy Store
by the name of
Tortoys
If you regularly follow my blog, you'll know that recently,
I've been looking up blog posts from the past (I started blogging in 2011).
From there, I write to the owner of the store or individual seller, and ask for permission to write new posts about them and their toys.
It's a good feeling to see that most of the stores and people whom I've written about are still active with their stores.
The name of the store owner (shopkeeper in Great Britain) is Mr John Ennals. He's very knowledgeable about toys, and his photography is excellent. On a whim, I decided to see if John was on Facebook, and sure enough, he is, and he keeps his site up to date. It's great to see that John still is selling toys , and is alright and doing well in business.

** If you click on each picture, it will appear larger, better-focussed
and easy to read and see the photos. The writing will also be easier to read on the screen-captures.
Below
is one of the pages that you will see when you visit his store.

The top part of the page shows the different
manufacturers (Brands) of toys that John has in his store

This photo illustrates the many different brands of toys

Once you click on a brandname (previous photo), you will be redirected
to the brand name, in this case Corgi. There, you will
see all the different sub-divisions or types of toys available from that brand.

I clicked on a category,
and found the nice Dinky tow truck above.
And when I clicked on the word "Description" (in blue letters)
I got a plethora (lots of) of information about this nice Dinky toy truck.

A screen-capture showing the SS United States, that
held the record for the fastest ship that crossed the Atlantic on
her maiden (first) voyage in 1952.
I like the detail that John adds to his photos.
Presented are the Scale,Length (metric) Years sold,
Condition of the toy and box,
and shipping weight.

An example of the inventory of what John has.
Clicking on any photo will also give you a new window to
gather information about the toy.
The amount of information on this website is phenomenal,
and you can learn a lot about toys here.

with different names to the ships.

Once you find a toy that you're interested in,
you can click on the photo to see a new window.
Within the new window, there will be many photos of the item
that you're interested in.
Wow, now I remember why I liked John's website. He's spent a lot of time on his excellent website. Not only are there plenty of toys, but there is a plethora (a large amount) of information.Not only does this helps in selling a toy, but the information helps any collector learn about different toys.
