I have looked these up on ebay and some go quite high while others don't get a bid. The figurine I have is marked on bottom: "Beatrix Potter's Tabitha Twitchett F. Warne & Co. Ltd. Copyright 1961 Beswick England." I'm hoping someone out there knows about these or has a book. I would like to know the book value. Then I can divide book value by 4 to get 'ebay value.' LOL

Go to the following site
http://www.askjeeves.com
Then in the top gray area type in the words "value of Beswick Beatrix Potter figurine".
The first site that comes up as a suggestion is the site for these figurines and you can take it from there. It may not give your answer specifically, I do not know. Did not have time to do more. This askjeeves site is the first one I use when I do not have a clue. Good luck!

One thing i forgot. I know the site about the Beswick Beatrix Potter has the name of what I believe is the definitive book on the subject. Now you will know the name of the book you are looking for. Go to your own library if you live near a big city and request the book. Or go back to askjeeves and ask where you can find the book. You may get many answers, most of which are not helpful but, I believe you have what I call a "goodie" here and the time spent researching it will be worthwhile. If you have time send me the name of the book and I'll ask at my library for you. Just add @aol.com to my name.
