New and Looking around

Hi, I am Loretta Humble, live in a little farm house outside Malakoff, Texas. I am a very a very healthy 80 year old. I love interesting finds, though I am not a dealer, occasionally I find something good and would love help identifying it.
I'm not sure I am in the right place for what I'm looking for right now. If I am not, I hope you will direct me to a more appropriate forum before you send me on the way.
I have recently become the owner of 40 "Poultry in Motion" figurines, and would like help determining their value. I have checked the "sold" ones on eBay, but I have several that are not there.
Would some kind person please direct me to a place where I can find some help, if indeed this is not where I belong.
Thanks in advance.
Loretta

 

Welcome to Antiquers Loretta!

I have not heard of Poultry in Motion, but I googled and found this site.

Does this help at all?

Perhaps it won't be of any help at all, as I just looked at the site again, and there are NO prices. I didn't read your post correctly. I thought you were looking for ID's of the figures in your possession.

 

Hi Judy, Thank you for looking. I did find that site, and really thought I had something. I even wrote them to ask for guidance, but got no answer. As well as they are selling on eBay, I know there has to be somebody somewhere that knows pricing on the rare ones. But thanks again for taking your time to Google for me.

 

And by the way, am I appropriate for this site? They are calling these roosters vintage, but I don't think that qualifies as antique. Please somebody steer me to another forum if I don't belong here.

 

Hi Loretta!

What a shame that the company did not reply.

You do belong here.

Most posts do not deal with 100 year old items.

It doesn't have to be 100 years old to be of interest or to have value.

Many true antiques have very little value, but some collectibles are high in value.

Please stay.

 

I agree, you are very welcome with any questions, Loretta, so welcome to Antiquers.

 

greetings

 

Welcome, Loretta!

 

Asking prices at these two sites, not completed sales, but those prices might maybe suggest which figurines have more collector demand:

Hi Loretta. Welcome from Australia. Like minded people come from all over the world and I have found this forum a treasure trove of knowledge, interest, amazing insights and fun! Now where is that morning coffee?

 

Welcome!
One suggestion for price info would certainly be to check closed listings on ebay.
