When we purchase an estate, we never know what we will find. Sometimes, we find old toys, old forgotten board games, dolls, lead soldiers or whatever! Although we don't actually seek out toys, somehow we seem to have accumulated many and often acquire the mundane to the unique. On this page we will offer some of what we've found and what the pickers bring in to us.
