Even Non-Famous Brands 

of Toys Can be Valuable

Please click here to visit Pook & Pook's past auctions

     I decided to return to people and auction houses that i had written before. After all, I have their permission to write about them, and they are very reliable when it comes to having fine items up for sale. Pook & Pook auctions all kinds of antiques, but I know that when I visit them for old toys, they will have some nice ones that are going to auction. Lo and behold, after perusing their auctions, I came across a nice auction from March 24, 2018. The toys were very nice, but what caught my attention was the fact that there were toys that I either had not seen before or  were not necessarily manufactured by a toy company. So for today, I'm presenting a small group of toys. What is also interesting is that some of the toys were non brand-named toys but at the top of the list in terms of what they were purchased for (their final price).

"Pook & Pook Inc. was founded by Ronald and Debra Pook in 1984 out of the Pook’s thriving antique business, which they began a decade earlier. Located in Chester County, Pennsylvania, Pook & Pook, Inc.’s offices are approximately thirty-five minutes west of Philadelphia, in an old stone inn built in 1761 with an adjacent state-of-the-art auction gallery. Right from its inception, the company’s auctions incited the interest of major museums, estate representatives, and serious collectors."

There's a lesson to be had from this auction. 

There can be some "treasures" found that may not be 

brand-name old toys.  So keep your eye open.

You never know what treasure you  may find!

Thanks for dropping by,

And as always,

Have a great part of the

day or night, wherever you may be.
