    Hi,
    I just got these Popeye and Olive Oyl piggy banks.
    They are quite big and heavy for what I see on the market...
    Popeye is 9 inches tall and weighs 3 pounds 3 ounces.
    Olive Oyl is 10 inches tall and weighs 3 pounds 14 ounces.
    Also, I don't see any Popeye banks where he has a pipe like this one.
    Anybody who knows the maker, potential value, or any other information, that would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Rob

    The screw heads look like Torx
    If so they have only been around since the late 60's to present day

    Repro/fakes/fantasy. Not old with those screws. Paint isn't right either for old/original.

    Agree. Reproductions. For comparison. Seller says this Popeye from 1930s.
