Antique toy collectors have a drive to search for new and exciting finds for their shelves, and the popular question is always, how is the toy market doing these days? Bertoia’s April 29, 30, 2005 Fun Sale, which featured three very prominent collections, answered the market question, and delivered some very exciting new finds. Two million dollars of buyer approval crossed the Vineland New Jersey based podium, and with a room capacity crowd awaiting each lot with intense anticipation, it seemed as though the good old days of toy interest was alive and very well. |
