I have found a Goebel piggy bank, approx. 5" from snout to tail, pink, apparently very old from the "crackling" appearance of the glaze. On belly, around stopper hole, it reads Goebel and W. Germany. Also stamped, but not colored, are the characters "SD14". Above the second E in Goebel is a design resembling a "V" with a cirle in the middle, almost looks like a symbol for a person. From pictures on the net of Goebel pigs that I have seen, the snout on this one is different. It's smaller, and the two little holes are painted on. I would like to more about this little guy, and the value thereof, if any. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
