| About Noel Barrett |
If youe like millions of other television viewers whoe become
addicted to the PBS series ntiques Road Show you might recognize
this mustachioed, pony-tailed, over-grown kid who offers his unusual
brand of excitement, knowledge and expertise to the world of vintage
toys. That Noel Barrett and this is his website. Noel was born
on September 6, 1940 in Westerly, Rhode Island. He graduated from
Columbia University in 1964 with a BS in American History. What
started as an interest in antique toys and American cultural artifacts
became a business. In 1986, after 20 years as a retail dealer, he
broadened his business by becoming an auction promoter and has,
in the last 7 or 8 years, devoted himself entirely to the auction
business. He holds 2 to 3 auctions a year -- specializing in unusual
and extraordinary collections. Among the collections that he has
sold are the five sales it took to disperse the Toy Museum of Atlanta,
the three sales it took to sell the landmark automotive toy collection
of Bill and Lillian Gottschalk, the antique advertising collection
of Peter Sidlow, the antique games collection of the pioneer collector:
Herb Siegel, and the American tin toy collection of the late Bill
Holland. Mr. Barrett is actively involved with historic preservation
in Bucks County Pennsylvania including the historic County Theater
of Doylestown, Pennsylvania -- a nonprofit film house in his county
seat. In addition he is an active collector of optical and pre-cinema
toys as well as lithographed paper and comic character toys. He
is currently the vice president of the Antique Toy Collectors of
America and has written numerous articles for various collector
publications, particularly Antique Toy World.
