    Anyone know how old this oinker is? I found similar but none with the pig sitting up. Thanks!

    Likely 1960s when piggy banks were particularly popular (and in that material.)

    Dude, I think this one is like yours, but in black and for a different school.
    Yours at left; Kent State at right:

    The seller is asking a ridiculous price, saying that they couldn't find another online, so it must be very RARE!

    I'll look in my Shawnee book later; gotta go.
    No luck, sorry. There are several of these on worthpoint, for various colleges and universities, all unidentified. I guess it would sell based on the school logo, anyway.
