Yep, 1950s would be my idea. It look as though the makers in Japan are attempting to depict an American Indian woman, instead of a geisha. My guess is you might get $25-$30 with a buy it now $ out of it on eBay. You just never know. I'd want at least $25. if I had it for sale. Don't know what you paid ??

You did good. I'm pretty sure it's worth more than that. When I did do ebay it was a lot of things like that I'd picked up in that price range to put up for sale. Items like that can often turn good profit margins with low risk.
