Title: Another Day, Another Trip to the Antique Mall!
Post by: shadowlark on July 27, 2014, 10:35:08 PM: My parents are visiting from Ontario and wanted to check out the Old Strathcona Antique Mall. Boy did I hit the motherload today!

Plush Lofty is so clean! My hubby thought she was a newer release plush and couldn't believe when I told him she's from the 80s! Just a couple small scratches on her eye but other than that she's great!

SS Paradise is so minty! Some surface dirt, but no flocking loss, not even in the usual spots (ear tips, mouth, wings)!

My first sea pony! Again, great condition, just needs a surface cleaning. And a clam shell, I guess :P

And Quarterback!! I just about died when I saw him! I've never seen a sea pony or a Big Brother at the Antique mall! He's in GREAT condition. Dirty, but nothing major. No cancer at all. Now I'll have to hunt down his kerchief and helmet!

Super pumped about today's finds! Can't wait to start cleaning them up! (Yes, I'll post pics!)

Been a busy week so I've only had time to clean Quarterback so far. I didn't realize how much dirt was on him until I saw the difference in colour in the before and after pics!

LOL They always have ponies there! I've seen a few there that have been there since our first trip in February that just haven't sold (they would be doubles for me so I didn't get them) but there's a couple of new ones each time we go. Depending on the vendors, prices range from $3-4 up to about $30....and those aren't rare ones. There's a Powder with rubbed symbols they want $25 for - no way I'm paying that! - but then minty SS Paradise was only $5. So it can be hit and miss on prices, but definitely worth checking out!

Been pretty busy the last few days so no time for spa days, but I'll get more cleaned soon and post more pics :)

I know they always have ponies but I never saw those guys you picked up!
I've walked by that Powder many a time What about that display case with several borderline bait ponies for $20+?

I also got a lovely SS Paradise from there a while back. Guess I have to go back there soon!
Title: Re: Another Day, Another Trip to the Antique Mall!
Post by: shadowlark on August 04, 2014, 03:55:31 PM: The display case is empty! I don't know what happened, but the ponies are gone! I swear I saw they wanted like $40 for Masquerade and was like, "Nope, gonna just walk on by this display case" I thought maybe they had just moved them somewhere else but I can't find them anywhere!

I try to go every 6 weeks or so and there always seems to be at least a couple of new ponies. I lucked out big time with this group! Hadn't seen any of them there before!

I wish my local antique malls had ponies, but no.... Closest things are Transformers and Star Wars.
Super happy for you!

Post by: shadowlark on August 10, 2014, 10:56:17 AM: Thanks again for all the nice comments! I promise I will get to cleaning them soon, but I had to have an emergency appendectomy on Thursday so haven't felt up to pony spa days. Hopefully I'll be feeling better soon!
