I Spy

I travel all around the world
And I am loved by boys and girls
But when I travel I take no luggage
I am not bogged down by baggage

Like little Jack Horner 
I am usually kept in a corner
I wear many  faces  but I am not a spy
I can be Queen Victoria, or a  butterfly

I am almost 200 years old
My many colors  include blue and gold
I can be bought and sold
In your hand I can hold
       What am I ?
