Except... they're not. But they were made by the mid century ornament company, Shiny Brite.
These new pieces could be in several different collections within my collection:
~ circus ponies
~ flockies
~ ornaments
~ models with molded on tack
Aren't they cute? I was actually doing research for another blog post, and these two popped up. They were being sold as a pair on eBay and I was the lucky winner.
Both are still in their original packages although one has a small tear in the plastic. At this point I have no plans to open either one of them. Shiny Brite ornaments are collectibles in and of themselves and can be valuable.
I did some looking and cannot find mention of flocked Shiny Brite ornaments. However, these have never been opened and still have their original cardboard closure identifying them as a product of Shiny Brite.
My search turned up these pieces on Etsy.
Using a flocked item as a stopper inside a bottle? Not unless you don't mind particles of flock in whatever was in the bottle!
I think I found this pair on Ruby Lane. They were priced at $24 for the pair. No manufacturer was listed but I don't think they were made by Shiny Brite.
Other than those, I have not found anything else that is comparable.
I am looking for more information on these as well as an identification guide. Any help is appreciated. TIA!
Stay 'tooned
