Value

Elsie the Cow was named one of the top 10 advertising icons in 2000 by the Ad Age, so anything with Elsie the cow on it could be of value to anyone who may collect Elsie the cow products. I’ve noticed there are similar pamphlets for sale on Ebay for $10-$20, therefore if one is concerned about the monetary value of this item I would assume in that range. In terms of personal value, there are a few ways this product could be of sentimental value to someone. Since this pamphlet dates back to World War II, it could bring memories of cooking with mom or not having your husband around at home.

Although this is simply a few pieces of paper, it may ormay not be of value. It is really hard to tell in this case for certain the monetary, or sentimental values. From my analysis of the history of these items it is safe to say that Elsie the Cow is a collectible,and could be of value. From the little information I am given, that is all I can say for certain.
