2023 MARKS 45 YEARS IN THE ANTIQUE TOY AUCTION BUSINESS
In 1978, Lloyd and Ruth Ralston got their first antique toy collection for auction, and it’s been a success story ever since. Now run by Glenn and Liane Ralston, they hold 8 to 10 auctions a year and have a large and loyal worldwide clientele.
Lloyd Ralston Gallery has been one of the busiest and best auction galleries since its inception. The primary focus has always been full-color, professionally- described, cataloged auctions of vintage collectible antique toys, trains, soldiers and die cast vehicles.
Always family owned, it is located in Shelton, Connecticut. The 10,000 sq. ft., showcase-lined gallery has seating for 100 people. Fully air-conditioned and heated, it offers a comfortable atmosphere for attending bidders. The hours are 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, Monday through Friday or by appointment.
When you contact us at Lloyd Ralston Gallery, you are speaking directly to a helpful and knowledgeable owner who is ready to assist you. Their goal has always been to maximize consignor’s profit while also making the auction friendly and easy for the buyer.
We are members of the Antique Toy Collectors of America, the Train Collectors Association, and the Mechanical Bank Collectors of America.
