Gary and Mary Pat also represent the firm at shows around the country and Gary provides catalog descriptions on much of the advertising material in each Morphy auction.

In 1991 he established his own auction firm, which operated until April of 2006.  He did business under the name of Muddy River Trading Co. and later, Metz Superlatives Auction.

In 2000, his wife Mary Pat joined him full time in the business.  Today they are still based in Roanoke, Va., and welcome your inquiries at any time.  They are just part of the extensive Morphy Auctions Staff who are willing to travel to view and arrange transport of your items or collection for presentation in a future auction.  Call them when the time comes for your items to receive the best in professional auction presentation!
Antique & Collectible Dolls Specialists
With more than a half-century of experience between them, both Becky and Andy began dabbling in dolls and toys while still in their teens. A Massachusetts native, Becky was introduced to dolls while assisting her mother, a part-time dealer who set up regularly at Brimfield. Previously, Becky was a doll consultant for Bertoia Auctions. Later, she would play a key role with Noel Barrett Auctions.

Andy started in the auction business at age 15, earning his stripes at Apple Tree Auctions in Newark, Ohio. Upon turning 18, he secured his auctioneer’s license and began calling sales for the company as an apprentice auctioneer.

 Andy & Becky Ourant
At age 21, Andy was hired by Skinner in Boston, where he spent three years as co-head of the toy and doll department. From there, his career path took him to Bertoia’s and, most recently, to Noel Barrett.

Andy spent six years as an Antiques Roadshow toy, doll and teddy bear appraiser. He and Becky – with whom he has worked for 10 years and to whom he has been married for seven years – co-own and operate Village Doll & Toy Shop in Adamstown, Pa. Contact Andy & Becky for your Doll consignments at dolls@morphyauctions.com.
