Post by: newcollector on July 03, 2010, 12:37:49 PM

I came into possesion of this old stuffed Piglet from Winnie the Pooh, the brand is Gund.
anyways does anyone know the date this is from, i found many gund piglets but could not find any of this model, this one looks older then all the ones I also found. Anyways again does anyone know the year this is from or possibly the price range it falls in?
thanks in advance

    That appears to 1964 for the date at least.

   Did a bit more snooping, Gund has been around since the late 1800's, There is 64 pages of Gund stuffed animals on Ebay, Not really that many sales compared to the amount listed. Most goes for under $20.00, but some really cool ones have got higher up to around $40.00.

Winnie the Pooh became popular in the late 50's to 60's.  I am betting this was made in the 60's/
