The fantastical world of toys brought to you by Sean Devitt

Sean Devitt #1.1

I love the thrill of the chase and unearthing rare items.

From the age of five, Sean would travel with his dad across the UK, visiting toy auctions, car boot sales, antique fairs, and flea markets. This early exposure fueled his love for collecting and the thrill of discovering rare items. With 12 years of experience heading the Toy & Juvenalia Department at a major UK auction house, Sean has developed deep expertise in the field. He has curated significant collections, including the Late Don Hoggarth Collection of Dinky Toys, which raised over £60,000 at auction. His knowledge and skills have also been showcased on BBC's Bargain Hunt, where he appeared as an auctioneer and valuer. Sean enjoys using Catawiki to share his knowledge and passion for toys with a broader audience.
