My grandfather found this over 70 years ago and I really know nothing about it. I would really like to know how much it is worth. I know it is a little damaged, but I did do a little reasearch and found out that it might be rare, because it has the RS Prussia sysmbol on the bottom with the green leaf and red writing. If anyone can tell me something about this I would appreciate it.
