What info did you have in mind? It is all stamped on the piece!

Is it worth keeping?  How much would he be worth?  

Answer
-

They are common, and worth only a few tens of dollars if in superb condition. Any damage or a poor surface, and you might as well throw it away.

If you like it, keep it. If you don't, don't. It is not for me to determine how you decorate your home.
