Everyone loves adorable big eyes! The original Kenner Blythe fashion doll who was created by designer Allison Katzman in 1972 and sold through Kenner Co. She measures only 11-inches tall and has large eyes that can change color with the pull of a string. Her looks were based on the big-eyed artwork of Margaret Keane and the cartoon character, Betty Boop. Note: Blythe doll reproductions have been manufactured by other companies in the 21st century.
How could second-hand bathroom fixtures be considered valuable? Has anyone purchased a new water-saver toilet lately? Those old toilets were a bit more powerful, quality-made, and came in a variety of fun colors to appease the consumer. A blue, green, yellow, peach, pink, maroon or white toilet, bathtub or sink- from the mid-century- can sell for over $400 today each.
Some bubblegum that Britney Spears-which had been chewed- sold for $14,000 at auction! Weird, but true.
As I mentioned with Marilyn Monroe’s personal items… Items touched or owned by celebrities, bring in thousands of dollars. It’s like being in close contact with a favorite celebrity. I would make sure I had the COA (certificate of Authenticity) on items purchased on an auction site. Whether it be clothing, food, objects or any particular memorabilia…basically any celebrities personal belongings; it can be super valuable- especially if the celebrity is deceased.
Collectors of all genres are willing to pay outrageous prices just to bring back a piece of their past, for sentimental reasons, decorating purposes, or just for the thrill of the hunt and finding the item/items.
Be careful; collecting stuff, can quickly turn into hoarding, so remember:
“You spend the first part of your life collecting things-and the second half getting rid of them.”-Isabel Allende
