Our Journey began with early Sunday morning trawls through the Trash + Treasure Markets of Melbourne (Australia) in the late 1970's.

  Initially it was about oddities which piqued our interest, but ultimately evolved into a long journey of searching + hunting out  Antiques and Vintage items of artistic merit.   

Many hours spent in Antique Stores / Markets and in communication with other
like-minded souls - not only sharing stories but guiding us through areas which we had never contemplated originally.

 Residing in Asia this past 40 years - travelling constantly throughout China/ Vietnam / Indonesia / India and numerous other countries has provided  a constant source of  new shops / markets / friends / information and of course ....

more items being stored in the warehouse... in two Countries.

We have been extremely diligent in  our love of collecting antique and vintage toys from around the globe.

Majority are pre-war 1950 - unique items ... from the type of material used, to the meticulous handwork and mechanical features no longer found in modern toys. 

 For us, antiques are items that hold rich stories and meaning; each piece is a souvenir holding more than just memories but also the essence of the places visited.
