RE: Four little pigs - 1/18/2008 9:43:15 AM    annie44 Posts: 1092 Joined: 10/27/2005 Status: offline Hi Michael, Yes, these are newer reproductions.  I am not sure of the actual date, maybe 1950's, or even 1970's??  In any case,  the "real" pigs say Philbrook and Tucker on them - the reproductions like mine just say "America's Suffolk Bitters Life Preserver."  Also,  I believe the originals are only in amber, whereas the reproductions come in many different colors.  Prices on the repro pigs have been pretty good, lately - some of the ones sold on ebay recently went for over $50.  I snagged the yellow one for $9.99 and the deep blue one for $26 - paid a bit more for that one because I hadn't seen that dark of a blue on these pigs before.    Cindy  (in reply to mikmis) Post #: 4
