I have had this bank for more than 10 years now, it has a small chip on one ear and does not have its plug, does anyone know the value of it?

I have been wondering that myself since I bought one at a flea mkt. for $3 last summer, so I did a little research ...... Mine has no chips or cracks, is 21" long, 3 red flowers with green fern type leaves (one on the head and one on each side) dated 1966. Looks the same as your but, my flowers are painted. A few small scratches on the back like someone had been sitting on it but, nothing deep just normal wear so not bad for 1966. I found 2 on ebay that had been sold. Both were in Elmira, NY but, were different sellers, 1 was bought by someone in England for $195.00 with shipping of $104.00, the other was sold for $125 with shipping of around $55.00. Also looked on Wikipedia and saw just $500 written. So I guess it is a sellers market depending on who's buying and how bad they want it. Hope the answer is satisfactory ..... ! David
I recently purchased the exact piggy bank. However mine fully painted, as well as the flowers. I paid $15.00 for it. I thought I got a great deal. However i can't seem to find alot of research on it. Do you have any further information regarding the price as of today?
