Hello, I am new here and hoping maybe someone can point me in the direction of getting information on items to see if they are actually something worth hanging on to or not. So many times I have learned that I have actually thrown out something that did have value.

I know this Teddy Bear bank is over 61 years old for sure, possibly older. I can’t tell you if it is made of ceramic or porcelain, that is how little I know. I can tell that the gold trim is very durable because it has not faded or tarnished at all through all these years. I would appreciate any advise anyone could give me.
