Stockton-on-Tess

Phillip Segal Toys are very much rarities. He began production in Hampshire in 1938 but was halted when wartime restrictions banned the use of lead.

A buyer got their teeth into an antique doll at auction despite the foot being chewed off by the family' pet dog.

Models produced for promotional purposes usually benefit from considerable rarity value and so it proved when a Dinky toy came up for auction at Stockton-on-Tees saleroom Vectis.

Vectis Auctions is expanding into new categories and has added three new departments.
