I have no idea how valuable it is, but if my friend had given it to me, it would be priceless! I imagine it has some value, just because of its age and that it was at least hand-decorated, even if not hand-made. What a treasure!Anne@Kitschy Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08712937651022641233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593446012269283473.post-40025645144399880652013-04-30T03:54:21.165-07:002013-04-30T03:54:21.165-07:00Hello! :-) It was my pleasure to share your cutie ...Hello! :-) It was my pleasure to share your cutie cute cute birdie! ^_^ And thank you so so much for all of the information.

I hope I helped a bit.<br />Enjoy your cute case full of history. :)<br />MarisaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01216053028315045000noreply@blogger.com
