Light soiling, dust, old age toning, dents, paint loss could be present along with other minor wear consistent with age. Please view all the photos as the are intended to be part of the description and ask any questions you may have prior to bidding.

The volume of items is too many to list but overall the areas covered are vintage toys, banks, games, advertising related items, tins, dolls, postcards, figurines, postcards and other collectibles.***
