The Vintage Toy Box | Traditional Barber Shop meets Toy Shop
Did you know that for 40 years before we moved in, it was also the Moss Vale Barber shop, operated and run by the local legend John ‘Snipper’ Parry?
We have people popping into the shop all of the time talking about when they were a kid, and when John used to cut their hair. These people are now grandparents themselves , but they still look back fondly on their childhood days.
For those of you that know us, you’ll know that we also own Motique. Motique is a botique men's gifts and games store, set up to offer a tailored selection of products designed to meet the requirements of the modern gentleman.
Motique, a fine purveyor of old-style men’s goods operates online and from within our Moss Vale store in the beautiful Southern Highland’s of NSW, in our old style traditional barber section at the back of The Vintage Toy Box.
What’s really interesting about our shop though is that for 40 years before we moved in, it was also the Moss Vale Barber shop, operated and run by the local legend John ‘Snipper’ Parry.

Sadly John is no longer with us, but we thought it would be a lovely thing to keep his memory alive, so we’re currently on the lookout for:
A barber to rent out our barber chair
People with memories to feature in our special feature piece about John.
If you fit into either of these categories, or know someone that does, please get in touch, as we’d love to hear from you!
