Received this as a kind of quirky gift from an elderly woman's estate. It's in wonderful shape, possibly never been used before, no chips, cracks or any damage at all. Just curious about what the value might be for a collector.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the feedback. I did find a number on Ebay - average for this particular one is $25. One, with the imprint slightly different and instead of pink the "dress" was blue is up for bid for $249.00! Jeez, big price range there. Thanks guys!

Yes some people put up insane prices on ebay but they don't sell . I wonder where they get those numbers but they are dreaming big :-) Yours is nice and I would just enjoy it .
