Hello,

I am by no means a professional but my grandfather had a similar one. Which I now have. I did a little research and they aren't worth very much because they are very popular. I read that the ones that are truly worth money are the oddly shapped ones. Like fish shapped and such. Granted some are worth more than others but I think at most you would get $20. I go to estate sales and auctions and it is true they are quite common. I just noticed yours might be a little newer than mine but you can easily go to their site and try and match the markings on the back to get a more exact date and worth.
