Thanx so much! I kind of thought thats what it was but needed to know for sure.Thanx for the link also!

 

Any idea of the value.I cant seem to find one that looks like mine.Thanx for any info.

Values at auction were provided with the link, just find one the most similar to yours to determine a value and multiple by about 30-50% to determine an average retail value.
