In My Life: Robert Hilburn's 'Corn Flakes With John Lennon' [LA Times]
I have a "Big Boy" doll that is not a bank. I says 1973 on the bottom of its foot. When I look at websites for its value, I see only "Big Boy Banks." They look just like this doll, but this is simply a doll - not a bank. It has "Big Boy" written in cursive on chest instead of the printed version. Where can I find out its value? Thanks!
