Description
I have an old cookie jar, and did a little research on it. It is a Smiley the pig cookie jar with the head being a piggy bank. It has gold accents and is stamped on the bottom "Shawnee USA - Patented Smiley 60". I got it from my sister, who got it from her mother in law. Unfortunately, my sister let her boys break the bottom of the piggie bank head to get the coins out. But, the rest of it is in fairly good condition. I just wanted to kmow if it's worth keeping, or if I should toss it in the trash.
Thanks!
