I can sort of help! I used to repair crystal for Swarovski, donkey's years ago! (Early 90's) There are some more popular than others, the 80's mice and hedgehogs were always popular. If you have any of the limited additions, the special yearly ones, some of them are worth a packet! In my time, the lovebirds, dolphins and elephants could be worth up to £500.

The smaller animals it would be best to find a collector. Try putting an advert in the local paper.

Pricing them is always difficult, it depends on how rare they are, what condition they are in, etc. and because yours are early ones, you've got very little to compare them to. When I tried to price up my mum's collection for her, I went in to a shop and priced them by the size, even though they were older - I don't know it that makes any sense but there was a sort of 'tiny ones =£10, small =£15' system, a range is it called?
That could give you the basic range of prices, then you'd know if a dealer or collector was offering you a decent price.

Sorry, I started out thinking I might help and have probably made it as clear as mud!
