     I've been looking through my past posts in order to write new posts based on these fine individuals and companies.Today's post is on Bunch Auctioneers and Appraisals. The company is based in Chadds Fort, Pennsylvania, USA. The company is named after William H. Bunch who has created the company.  The business may be located in Chadds Ford, but it deals in a much wider area in such American cities, as Boston, Philadelphia, and New York. 

Although Bunch Auctions   buys and sells a lot of household furniture and interior decor items, they may also sell toys found in the same homes.

 You never know what type of toys you may find! I used to go to estate sales, and would find toys, and fishing equipment, but at thart time I wasn't interested in buying either.So it's good sometimes to go even to a garage sale. 

The bottom line is that you never know where you will find old toys!
