<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DanaB, post: 1867329, member: 10739&quot;]Sorry, haven&#039;t been on the board for a while! Found the pics of the toby. Yes, this is a cross legged toby. I tend to agree that this maybe from your grandmother and not your great-grandma. This toby was obviously made by a mold and not hand molded. The much older tobys in from the 1700s were hand molded. I&#039;ve seen this toby before. It&#039;s rather crude in the facial features. It&#039;s really hard to tell if it has a makers mark. I don&#039;t see anything I recognize as a well known toby mark. And it would be difficult to guess where it&#039;s from even though it was in England. I&#039;d put this toby between the 1930s - 1950s. It&#039;s not old enough to be from the 1800s. It&#039;s not worth a lot of money. Since I&#039;m in the US I&#039;ll give you a price in dollars and you can convert to pounds. I&#039;d price this around $30‐50. And that&#039;s being generous. It&#039;s not made out of anything special. Its ceramic. But tobys are collectable and people still buy them. </p><p><br /></p><p>We are a different breed of collectors. We are selective on what we collect. Not every toby collector collects every toby they find.&nbsp; And we aren&#039;t born on every street corner. We are a select group of collectors. But for myself, I love collecting and have been doing it over 40 yrs of my life. And I don&#039;t know anyone else who collects them. I think that&#039;s what keeps me looking. The uniqueness of looking for something that most people have no idea what they are. </p><p><br /></p><p>Have a great day, hope this helps!</p><p>Dana[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
