Title: A story, a brag, and some major accessory ID help, please!
Post by: Sunset on February 05, 2017, 01:04:43 PM
So there is this customer at work who I don't really know that well but we've talked enough to find out that we are both toy collectors.  She collects 80's toys in general but especially Carebears and strawberry Shortcake.  For the past year or so, when I've been out pony hunting I've kept an eye out for things she likes and let her know if I find anything.  She'll let me know if she wants them and I'll buy them and she will pay me back.

Well, recently she returned the favor!  look at all this great stuff!  I could use some help identifying all these accesories.  :)   I think there's a few non mlp stuff in there.  I'd especially love to know who the ribbons belong to.

A PC on the Dream Castle items and the show stable green fences and troughs would be great, too, since I already own several of those.

Several of the stickers are two sided so I included a pick of the opposite sides.  Looks like the child in question just stuck one sticker on the back of another.  Should I try to peel one side off so I display them better?  How do y'all display your stickers?

Yes! it's unique and probobly worth something on its own if you want to sell it.

the yellow heart brush is the purple parlor I think and the two pink star brushes with stickers go with the matching shade pink collector combs (came as a set) they are in unusualy nice condition and are HTF, only came with the seccond set rainbow ponies.

Really a fantastic lot, especially the condition everything seems to be in.

The yellow heart brush came with some earlier releases of Dream Castle (it was soon replaced with a yellow star brush, so that is the more commonly ID-ed brush for that play set) .

Very cool! I love the stickers especially. I don't have a particular way I display mine; right now they're in my Pretty Parlor, but I'm sure there are better ways to display them. As far as the prices of the accessories you mentioned, most of those pieces are probably in the 25 cent to 75 cent range, except possibly the Dream Castle banners, goblet, and throne, which might be a dollar each or more?

Here are my best guesses as far as the baby accessories and some of the combs/brushes that haven't been ID'd yet (some I'm nearly positive of, some are very tentative):

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Baby Cuddle's buggy blanket and pillow
Baby Cotton Candy's pink heart blanket
Baby Fifi's orange toothpaste

big purple comb and brush are probably not MLP

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Baby Moondancer's and Baby Cuddles' lavender bottles
Baby Cotton Candy's lavender playpen

the pink baby necklaces are probably Baby Glory's, Baby Moondancer's, and the one from the Lullabye Nursery, but many other babies came with pink necklaces

the white baby necklace is probably Baby Cotton Candy's but could be Baby Firefly's, and other babies also came with pink necklaces

I'm not sure whose ribbons those are; the one on the far right may not be MLP, though, as it looks a bit short and too shiny. Does it have the same thickish feel as the other two and the same texture on both sides?

the lavender bear brush could be Baby Cotton Candy's, Baby Cuddles', from the Lullabye Nursery, or Baby Firefly's; many other babies came with lavender bear brushes as well

the yellow bear brush could be Baby Surprise's, though many other babies came with yellow bear brushes as well

the pink bear brush could be Baby Blossom's or Baby Glory's; many other babies came with pink bear brushes as well

Trickle's pink rainbow star brush and matching comb (both sets are hers; the original owner seems to have had two Trickles)

Pretty Parlor pink comb (the one that's a different shade); could be Butterscotch's but not as likely since there are other Parlor accessories in the lot

Skyflier's, Surprise's, or Moondancer's purple moon comb

the red comb and the long pink comb are probably not MLP

Thanks everyone for your congrats and the info.  It helps a lot!

Any thoughts on the blue oval "rug" or the green, purple and orange barrettes?  There's also a little tiny necklace that could possibly be Megan's?  I have determined that the little swimsuit is hers.

As for the pink ribbon, it is actually a little longer than the other two when stretched out, satin on only one side.  I thought maybe it came with one of the pony wear sets? Or maybe not.

I *think* that it has to have satin on both sides to be a real pony ribbon. Can someone else confirm? I'm pretty sure that's one of the tell-tale signs. And as far as matching them up to the correct pony, I thought that there was a website called Twilight's Accessory ID that has a good ribbon section, but I can't find it. Does anyone know if it's still around?

The little blue necklace is a Barbie one. Pretty sure it is vintage to the 80's but I can't remember which specific doll it came with.

The clear Barbie necklace is from Crystal Barbie.  That's about the only thing that I know for sure.  What an amazing haul!

Megan and Sundance came with pink ribbons with satin finish on just one side I think?  not 100% sure.

for accessories ID the my little wiki can help alot, I'm on my phone, so hard to attach links, it comes right up if you Google.

And Thank you Kitkat for the brush correction!

Ah, thank you! It's too bad that site is no longer officially up and running :/ But at least there's the Wayback Machine. Using that, my very tentative guesses for the two ribbons would be Dream Castle or the Baby Buggy for the lavender ribbon and the Pretty Parlor for the green ribbon.
