Hello, This is my first post on this forum. We lived in England for a few years in the 1980s and I had these Julip horses that I played with as a child. My mom saved them and now 30 years later, I'm not sure what to do with them. I live in the US (North Carolina). The horses need restoration and I'd like to find them a home where they'd be restored and taken good care of instead of sitting in my attic. My kids do not have much interest in them. The legs are cracking on several horses and some riders are losing their hair. Here is a photo plus a catalog page that my mom saved. I think she purchased these horses around 1988: photos.app.goo.gl/EPUYw0Fsf2CrjXpa2I have no idea what to value these horses as. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you! Christina |

Hello there are quite a few people who do restoration of the old julips. If you post photos of each on the Just Julips facebook page you will get a lot of interest I'm sure. They do an amazing job of restoring them, I love looking at the before and afters.  |

It'd be nice to see more pics of them on here, the rest of us who don't use it can't see anything that gets posted only on facebook.

I can't wait to see more photos of them! I'm actually from the United States as well (Massachusetts).

I am home from Easter vacation and posted additional photos to the album: photos.app.goo.gl/EPUYw0Fsf2CrjXpa2I could not find a reasonable shipping price to the UK, so for now, I'd prefer to ship only to a USA address. Also, I'd prefer to sell the whole set instead of splitting up the horses. Thank you for your patience! Christina |

If you change your mind about shipping to U.K. And splitting the items I'd be very interested in some riders

If you were to change your mind about posting to the UK, I would still be interested in the horses and potentially the whole lot depending on what you wanted for them.
