Ok, finally I had time to take photos the other night and post them on this thread!
Please excuse the terrible photos..
I had my phone set up as a hot spot and the flash never came on because of it...so, I had to edit them through Flickr.
Anyways, an online friend of mine I know through a Facebook B/S/T Vintage toys group knows a ton about these and the original company who made these, Imperial.. Eventually I would like to get them appraised by him but will worry about that later! A few that stand out and are more valuable than the traditional "$3 - $5 commons" are the skis, little purple and white chicken in the egg charm and pink butterfly.. Also, I think the US map.. The purple colored baby bottle is also worth a little higher than the other baby bottles because of its color. I think a couple of mine are knockoffs, but sometimes that's hard to tell because some competitors got really good at making them so close to the Imperial charms. The chains I can tell just by glancing at them and their clasps..
Here's the dark pink chain with the first batch. Unfortunately, my childhood necklace and charms are lost somewhere.. They may be at my grandma and grandpa's house but I haven't been there in years to even look.. I have to find that photo of me as a kid wearing the necklace as a belt..

You can tell it's real by the clip (Imperial type) and the pinky flesh color with white-ish colored swirls in it. When Mattel discontinued the She-Ra toy line, they melted the left over plastics and sold it to Imperial for cheap.. This was shortly after the discontinuation of the toyline.. '87 -'88. -- I got this info from my online friend! Sorry I don't have closer photos of the chain right now.. But anyways, I was super excited about my find!
