Continental Hobby House
A Fine Toy Seller on ebay
I was on ebay last week searching for a toy, when the name
Continental Hobby House showed up on my search. I went to the site
and was surprised to see toys that I had not seen before. I also saw the owner's business card above which was nicely done. By the way, that's a nice cast iron Hubley motorcycle with a policeman sitting. That definitely caught my attention!
There were lots of toys with a large selection of different brands. I wrote to the owner and asked for his permission to write a post. We texted back and forth, and finally, I got his permission to write a post for him.
What I liked right away, after I had looked through his toys, was the fact that
many of the toys I had not seen before. There were lots of toys that I recognized, but the other toys that I saw would be great for an introductory post.
Also, there were many well-done photographs to show potential
buyers, all of the different angles and if any, scratches or dents.
So for today, I'm introducing you to
CONTINENTAL HOBBY HOUSE
