I’m considering trading a complete set of Backyard Birds of North America, there are 24 little figures. They are handpainted but I’m not sure the material they are made out of.
I looked around on the internet but I can’t remember where I got these from. They might have been the Danbury Mint. The display case is included. This is definitely retired I can’t even find a picture of it anywhere on the internet. (Not to say that there isn’t one somewhere!)
If interested PM me for pics.EDIT: Ok I added pics and I’m lowering the trade here because of the 2 birds which have some damage. (See pictures.) I didn’t even notice until someone else asked for pics and I saw it while taking the pics. Anyway, I’m willing to give up the whole thing for just one hatching dragon, either empea, red fire, or b/g.
The set is really beautiful regardless of the minor damages. There are so many talented people here I’m sure someone could take these and fix those two birds up like new. I’d also take $30 for it, enough to buy a hatchling or at least pretty close I think. 🙂 ( I would prefer a trade though.)
Pic of whole set on wall, where it currently resides.
Pic shows damage to bluebird’s feet.
Pic shows hummingbird missing beak. *sigh* I think I can blame the cats for this.
Example up close- Cardinal
Example up close- Dark-eyed JuncoThe whole set is retired and apparently hard to find because I can’t find it on eBay (yet) or any pics online!! This set is OLD it’s from early 90s I believe.
I like this set alot (I’m a huge bird fan) but again, I want the Windstones more. ^^ I’ve resolved myself to only collecting Windstones now, so this is not about money but adding pieces to my current collection. Please feel free to ask any questions!Those have ben around for a while…I think my mom has the ones my Gramma collected (Or maybe she collected them) from that series. They sure are cute little guys! I searched Google for “Backyard Bird collection by Danbury mint” And got a few pics to come up of them. The only problem is the links are broken or forbidden, which means that they are most likely so old they no longer work. 😕 But, you can see small pictures. 😉
Wish I collected them. The Danbury has always had such beautiful details in all their pieces. I’m thinking they are bisque. :scratch:
