Imaniperry’s Whatnot live show was a treasure trove of unexpected finds, but it was a simple yet delightful jockey figurine that caught our eye. Listed under item #198 with a shipping discount already applied, this charming piece sparked a gentle bidding war among Whatnot viewers.
With a straightforward commentary from the seller, “Oh, that’s a jockey. I’m going to go with that,” we can assume that’s exactly what it is – a vintage jockey figurine. One viewer, enthusiastic about the item’s history, chimed in to share that jockeys were owned by notable watch companies in the past, including Hamilton and Seiko. Despite the interest, not everyone saw value in the piece, with one viewer expressing concern that it might sit idle in a garage, awaiting restoration.
In the end, it was velvetforestgoods who rode this figurine to victory, claiming it for a tidy $7. What a steal for a small but joyful collectible!
