Toys from the Old Salem Museums and Gardens

So sad to see a closing of a museum. Significant toy collections from the  the Old Salem Museums and Gardens in Winston-Salem, NC  will be up for auction in the coming weeks.  Two auction houses  will clear out the most unbelievable inventory.  Northeast Auctions in Portsmouth will hold  it's  auction on October 30th. On November 19 and 20, Noel Barrett Antiques and Auctions in New Hope,Pa  will hold their event. Most of the toys are 19th century, European.  Just fantastic. How different children played. The toys were meant to last forever...  

 

 Dollhouse furniture to die for....

 "Toy collecting is the best anti aging medicine, I know" says Noel Barrett, owner of Noel Barrett Antiques and Auctions.

 See you...
