Pottery marks

[Terry Kinsey]

>I was scrolling through the digest I got the other day.  Someone asked

>that is not in any of the 4 McCoy books we have.  (We started so long
>ago that we have a very tattered but complete set of Pamela Coates
>books.  In fact, years ago her things were sold at auction here in Ohio
>and we bought some of them.)  Many Brush pieces are marked just with a

>amazing to me the pieces of both McCoy and Brush that are in the books
>and are rarely seen.  Then the reverse is true. also.  To change the
>subject, if you see pieces of Nicodemus or Pereny, let us know.  Both
>were Columbus, Oh potters.  We didn't limit ourselves to McCoy once we

Hello Elizabeth:  I have been collecting for far longer than I want to admit to
in age, but I must say that I have never been jealous of anyones collection,
except for the collectors that have the Pamela Coates books....they are
collector
items in themselves.  I wish I had copies.  cheers!  Terry
