Mr. Peanut saucer by Warwick China Co.

[MEinWV]

I posted this in "what's it worth" forum too! Thought you folks may have some info.

I found this on a riverbank. It is in great shape for being out in the elements. Mr. Peanut was developed in 1916 and was modified shortly after, with the addition of the top hat, cane, monocal, and spats. The early ones had the taller hat and more primitive features. I am guessing this saucer was made about 1920. I have seen other Warwick items from the '20s and '30s with this same backmark. Warwick closed in 1951. Do manufacturers have info on production numbers? Any ideas on value on this item?

Thanks!

Neat plate and nice shape! The only link I can find says 1930's - 40's at Worthpoint. (You have to register to see the value though).
