Allentown Antique Toy Show My Report
The show is a two-day affair. The first day is for dealers and early rights. Early rights are not cheap $50.00. I am willing to pay the cost as I am looking for items to resell. Right as I got in a dealer told me he had some Marx items. The next thing I knew I was the owner of Marx’s space car and Untouchable figures. I went down the aisles and started looking for Marx items. Dan a new dealer this year I was able to get some Marx explorers and jungle items.
One dealer everyone looks for is Kerry and his wide range of items. He told me he had been to Ireland but found no toys. I got from him Marx 60mm red Indians. There was a wide range of Marx playsets from pieces to boxes to full sets. I passed on a Marx Firehouse Building as I had no room for it.
This show has a wide range of items from antique to character items. You can see a report here. Also, you can see photos of the show here.
Day two I was there looking for dealers who had not set up on Friday. One dealer, who I got Stuart Horses last year did not have any this year. As I was talking he had a Minot flagbearer in a five-dollar box. I told him he should place it outside the box. He said I could have it and another Minot flagbearer also for $5.00. I bought both of them. Another box I got Lido Germans. Another dealer had Timmee Army figures. I sell them by the bag except for the stretcher party which is in demand. After a few hours, I left after the doors opened.
One other thing I was once again able to see my friend Daniel Roebuck. Daniel is an actor and toy collector. I have known him for years. Right now he is Santa Claus in Terrifer 3. He is also Santa Claus in his movie which is Saint Nick of Bethlehem. We got to talk a little and I hope to see him before he goes back to the West Coast.
