This one I saw at the Goodwill in Billings, Montana, in the early '90s.

And you paid how much for it?

Five bucks.

It's got a mark on the bottom for the Teco pottery, which is made outside of Chicago. They say "Tee-co" but I always call it "Te-Co" because it's short for terra cotta. This would have been made around 1905. This is in absolutely perfect condition. Because of the condition, at auction, this is worth easily between $2,500 and $3,500. It's more like $3,000 to $4,000, realistically.
