We have bought from Toomey a number of times. They are amongst the foremost pottery auction houses in the Country. Their pictures and descriptions are always accurate and their in house shipping is excellent and very reasonable.

Roycroft exceeded my expectations
I was very happy with the condition of the Roycroft rocker and Toomey in-house shipping made the purchase much easier. They delivered the rocker and were competitively priced. The whole thing was easy!

Always a drama free experience-THANK YOU
One of my very favorite auction houses. Also it is local for me, so pick up is a breeze, with very friendly and professional staff. I have enjoyed all the great goodies purchased here. My only problem is that they have such a dazzling array of items, it's hard to choose which ones to bid on! Thank you Toomey & Co.

Extremely professional Auction House
This is the first time I've purchased any item from Toomey & Co, and it will not be the last. The description and pictures of the piece were totally accurate, so no surprises. I won a piece of pottery and was so impressed by the way they packaged and shipped it. If every auction house took such great care in packaging delicate and easily breakable items as well as Toomey & Co did, you would never read about the horror stories from people of broken items once received. I will absolutely be doing repeat business with Toomey and highly recommend them, certainly to any Pottery collectors out there who are reluctant to buy from on-line auctions.

High shipping cost but did get it to the destination
In addition to their 30 % premium their shipping is priced at a premium. They charged me $65 to move two pounds of pottery one zone (less than 300 Miles). It did get there safely but I previously bought many similar pieces that shipped for 11-15 $

I buy quite a few items yearly from liveauctioneers. Toomey & Co does in house shipping which is always very convenient. The shipping charge was very reasonable and the packing was outstanding and well beyond expectations.
