Turtle Doves



Category: Thrift Store Finds | Posted: Fri Feb 02, 2007 4:50 pm

Another of my most recent thrift store finds was this pair of Turtle Doves. I had thought it would look really nice in the garden, probably in the secret garden when I get it done. And what the heck, it was only $2.19. After we got home I started looking at it closer and found the name Austin Productions, Inc on the bottom and the year 1980.....the year Randy and I married, that was really cool.
Then I did a search for Austin Productions, Inc and found pictures of several of their pieces on ebay offered for between $10 and $50 and other items on websites selling for well over $50. In all the searches I have done I can not find my Turtle Doves, but I figure instead of taking a chance damaging them they will stay in the house instead.

I do love those doves.I would take them to an antique
dealer and get a better idea
of its worth.

I could keep them ever so safe for you here Toni!!! LOL They are adorable. What a great find and a great price. You were obviously meant to find them and take them home with you.
I think Randy is the one on the right and you're the one on the left but don't ask me why.
