It took about ten minutes to reach appraiser Richard Wright. He looked at the Steiff rabbits, gave a me the time frame of manufacturer and a quick estimate, which was around what I thought the value might be. He also answered a few questions that I had about the missing buttons.
He said he wasn't very knowledgeable about the toy tractor, so sent us to another nearby appraiser, Andy Ourant. Ourant was great and it wasn't until we got back home that I realized I had read several articles about his Village Doll and Toy Auctions. He took some time to really ask about the toy, gave a lot of good information and an estimate, along with a suggestion to replace the broken track.
