The Swarovski Woodpeckers was the second Swarovski SCS crystal figurine produced. It was in the Swarovski Caring and Sharing trilogy. To date, the SCS Woodpeckers are the only SCS figurine to ever include a special mirror.
The Swarovski Woodpeckers Mirror is an octagon shape (8 sides), about 4″ in diameter. The mirror has a beveled edge and is accented with an official Swarovski logo.
There are two different official Swarovski Woodpecker Mirror displays. The only difference in the mirrors is the Swarovski logo that is present on the mirror.
The Woodpeckers ‘Sharing’ Mirror, variation 1 (as it is referenced in Warner’s Blue Ribbon Books on Swarovski) has the sCs logo painted on it. This Sharing Mirror can be reference using identification # DO1X881M V1, as originally used in Warner’s Blue Ribbon Books on Swarovski. Crystal Exchange America presently has this SCS Woodpeckers Mirror available for $175 to $200.
The Woodpeckers ‘Sharing’ Mirror, variation 2 (as it is referenced in Warner’s Blue Ribbon Books on Swarovski) has a Swan logo painted on it. This Sharing Mirror can be reference using identification # DO1X881M V2, as originally used in Warner’s Blue Ribbon Books on Swarovski. Crystal Exchange America presently has this SCS Woodpeckers Mirror available for $70, but it is not in MINT condition.
Many collectors report to us that their Swarovski Woodpeckers did not include a mirror. While we do believe them, the crystal brand indicates that all Woodpeckers included a mirror in the box, especially since there is a slit in the foam for the mirror. The only possible explanation that has been offered is that perhaps it was removed by retailers before the SCS member took the Woodpeckers home.

The Swarovski Mirror Variation 1 is the more common of the two mirrors produced, at least that is true in the USA. It is easier to find this mirror at reputable broker sites and in the online auctions. Replacement cost for either Woodpeckers Mirror is in the $75 – $200 price range, depending on the source. If purchasing a replacement mirror, carefully inspect it for scratches on the reverse side (they sometimes show through), tarnished edges, and unflaking paint on the logo to ensure the mirror has like-new qualities.
