Copper thunderbird pendant

I looked online and saw some exactly like this listed as NA. However, those looked worn and used. This was in my late cousin's stuff and is shiny brand new looking. I couldn't find any others that looked this new. The listed NA ones went for a considerable sum. No marks on any of them. Is anyone here familiar with this? The ones I saw were "Fred Harvey style" meaning they weren't marked, but sort of looked like his work.



Thanks.

 

Being from the UK I expected to see a pendant of one of these characters.

 

Or a pendant of one of the spaceships.

 

Fred Harvey style. 1940's-70's maybe.
Looks like machine stamping, not hand made.
Here's an identical one.

It just shows how our cultures have us thinking differently.

 

I was watching a British TV show once and saw a clip of the Thunderbirds. Interesting.

 

Hard to imagine it could be so valuable..

I used to find similar type of advertising stuff in the mail in the 1960s, supposedly to from some NA Indian school, to guilt the recipient into making a contribution.

I think I may have (or have had) an identical one.

 

Reminds me Bell Copper jewelry but not as good quality.

 

I think they’re charming tourist collectibles but if you’re selling it and want to list it correctly you can only call it a Vintage Copper Southwestern Thunderbird Charm Pendant Collectible...

All the other terms used in that other listing are illegal keyword spam but you don’t need them anyway. Vintage Copper Southwestern Thunderbird will bring those collectors.

 

Glad it wasn't just me

 

I don't know how the others got away with calling it NA. I thought Ebay had a strict policy of removing items that didn't have provenance.

 

They have a policy,but it is not enforced. Listings for NA pieces have had British ,Swedish,Bell Trading Post,etc. marks which have been reported and the smart computers do not remove the pieces.

 

Agree that it’s the luck of the draw as far as whether the listing gets pulled or not but again, it is against policy to keyword spam and it’s not needed for this specific piece IMO so why chance it?

 

I was just looking on Google images for copper Thunderbird and your post and photo showed up.

 

That's the Thunderbirds reboot, which is quite decent, too. Way better than the abomination which was the live action film. I am very fond of Jonathan Frakes, but haven't forgiven him for TB 2004. Dire doesn't begin to describe it.

 

My fave!

 

Thunderbirds are go!
