Golden Memories Catalog-© Peggy WhiteneckNote of Appreciation: Collector Lynn Wolfenden has done us all a special service by providing me with copies of original retail catalogs and price lists. Thanks to her, I've been able to complete the first year GM catalog for this site and to add the original retail prices that were missing from many of the listings. Thanks so much, Lynn! Thanks also to "Jane" for providing a photo for the catalog of an item in her own collection (#33026). All photo contributions for items without pictures are gratefully received!In the catalog listings, I give the last retail price only on GM items, whenever it is known. Lladró collectors are interested in GM today primarily for its curiosity value, so I would not venture to ascribe monetary appreciation to GM models nor to speculate whether they would even retain their last retail value. The best of them are the first year figurines, which I have seen offered occasionally on the non-internet secondary market at prices in the $45-$50 range. As such, they are a good value alternative to the more expensive NAO models made from the same moulds. Some collectors (including me!) have a special affection for the translucent matte porcelain formula and the unusually vivid pastels of these first year figurines. I pick them up whenever I can acquire them without paying "Lladró prices" for them. A final curiosity is worth noting in the catalog listings: there are no categories
for adult figurines. Golden Memories, it seems, was all about childhood. Please Note: This is an information web site ONLY. While I very much welcome email contacts from serious collectors or just those wanting more information on Spanish porcelain, please do not contact me asking for sales or acquisition assistance, as those areas are not my bailiwick.No portion of this catalog may be reproduced or distributed in any print or electronic venue or for other public consumption without the express permission of Peggy Whiteneck.
