Title: Best (rare?) thrift store find ever, and they only cost me $1...
Post by: moondancer on January 27, 2013, 03:14:15 PM: I found two ceramic vintage My Little Pony figurines at Goodwill for 50 cents each! I almost screamed! :shocked:
Especially since this location never has anything good.
I have been wanting to get a vintage MLP ceramic piece for quite some time, I have not previously seen the two I found. I've seen some other vintage ceramic ponies on etsy but they were expensive!

The two pictures below are NOT the exact ones I found, I searched for them in google images so I wouldn't have to spend time taking pictures, they are the same two characters. Mine are in near flawless condition with no cracks, discoloration, smears, etc. I'm excited! How much do they value? Any idea? :) Remember, the ones pictured are the same ones I have, but these photos were found in google images.

I don't know the value on these, but I'm sure someone will be along soon who has some info on them.

Post by: Thunderwing on January 27, 2013, 04:38:15 PM: Those are "First Born" and "Glory". First Born is the most common porcelain, you can find her for as low as $10 or so (plus shipping). Glory is harder to find, but I'm not totally sure of her value. I'd say at least $35, possibly as high as $70 or so? It really varies alot with demand.

Yu should make a thread asking for a price check in the Corral :) I am sure ones of our porcelain experts can help you value them!

Post by: reanna-mator on March 28, 2013, 04:49:34 PM: Awesome find! I got First Born from a friend of mine, and found the Wishing Well figure at our local Savers.

Good job. I would never, ever pass up a porcelain pony.
