Edinburgh woman left speechless as she finds out forgotten toy is worth £10,000

An Edinburgh woman was left speechless after she rediscovered an forgotten toy that could fetch her thousands.

Edinburgh resident, Lee Garrett, got the shock of her life when the toy robot her family planned to give away turned out to be a 1950’s Japanese icon, valued at thousands of pounds.

The rare 1957 Radicon robot, which Lee and her siblings had played with as children over 50 years ago, is now set to headline McTear’s Antiques and Interiors auction on April 7, with experts estimating the collector’s item could sell for up £10,000.
