Crystal Exchange America recently sold a Swarovski Trimlite Alligator for the attractive price of $75! Swarovski collectors know that the Trimlite figurines are some of the more difficult pieces to find, so finding one at this price was a plus!
Swarovski has produced two crystal alligators that I am familiar with:
Trimlite Alligator – 52504. This Swarovski Alligator was produced 1982 through 1988 and originally retailed for $18. The Trimlite Alligator is just under 2.5″ long. It has a clear crystal stone for the body, with a lot of gold-colored trim, which is typical of the Trimlite product line. The body stone for the alligator is a former chandelier component. The hole for the component is highlighted in the photo. The Trimlite logo T is stamped into the underside of the alligator head metal and is also highlighted in the same photo. The year 1982 is stamped below the Trimlite T.
Silver Crystal Swarovski Alligator – 7661 000 005 / 221 629. This Swarovski Alligator was produced 1998 through 2004 and originally retailed for $75. The Silver Crystal Alligator is approximately 3″ long. The head, body, legs, and tail are all clear crystal. This alligator figurine has the Swarovski Swan logo on it.
I don’t know of any alligator collectors, but if you are, Crystal Exchange America still has a couple of all-crystal (Silver Crystal product line) alligators still available in their online store. Swarovski Alligator figurines are located within the Animals category of the store.
