Donald Doe, assistant director of the Sheldon Art Gallery, stands with robots and hanging rockets in the gallery's
"Toys From The Attic" exhibit, valued at more than $1 million.
"It's easy to get to a million dollars when you're dealing with collections of antique toys," Doe said. "Remarkably
easy."
Toy collecting is one of the fastest-growing fields of collecting. Though it is a relative new field, toy collecting
attracts large numbers of collectors with specialized sales on publications of scholarly research. Toy collecting
appeals to all ages and "Toys From The Attic" is intended to give more hours of amusement and delight. Not only
because these "playthings" are poignant reminders of youth, but also because they convey fascinating glimpses into
the values, styles and technology of earlier years.
During this exhibit, a selection of antique and collectible toys will be sold in the Sheldon Art and Gift Shop.
