Toy Auction from the Carter Toy Museum

The owner of the Carter Toy Museum (now closed) passed away and an auction was held to sell off his impressive collection. The auction was well-attended. Below is just a small sample of what was up for sale.


I would have liked to buy the vintage toy ships, but the bidding quickly went beyond my budget.

The tin toy gas station was also sold for more than I could afford.




He had amassed quite a collection of pedal cars.

My wife took the day off from work and went with me (mostly to make sure I didn't break the bank). She enjoyed the auction and snagged a few tin toys for her own collection.
