<p>[QUOTE="ola402, post: 253380, member: 182"]kard, I would base your decision on how much you paid for it and how much you think it should bring at auction and start the bidding there. It's fabulous and as someone else stated, it is a peacock on both sides. The only thing I would suggest is that you clean it up so that it looks squeaky clean in the photos. A magic eraser should help the bottom edges. Sometimes creating the idea that it was well cared for and the chip was an unfortunate accident helps a lot. Right now it is sending the message that it was kicked around a lot and was subject to bad treatment due to its deformity, rather than cherished in spite of the chip. </p><p><br /></p><p>FYI, this item was named "Decorative Peacock" 4766.3 issued 1971 and retired 1973. After 1973 they made it in plain form (all white) until 1978. I saw an all white one on line in good condition offered for $269. So, due to its rarity and fabulousness, I think it's worth a whirl at auction, starting it at the lowest price you can accept including fees. Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
