The hat is a dark brown with circles containing the bucking broncos and cowboys. The cactus are green, the hat on the coffee server is light brown,in other words, it is much more colorful. I also have the salt and pepper shakers in the same motif as the coffee mugs. Any help in identifying this pottery would be appreciated.

This is what I suspected as well. I suppose it is possible for someone to make their own molds from another companies pieces. This is what caused me to ask about them. They appear to be dimensionally and characteristically identical, with only the glazing colors being different. Then the "copyright 1982 C.C.", got my curiosity going. I really enjoy the western theme and this was reason for the acquisition. I just can't resist anything western.

You have to be wise in purchasing, but in all honesty, a true collector sees what they want, and if they can afford it...they take it home. My grandparents worked in the Brush/McCoy pottery in Roseville, Ohio for many years before it was closed down. Naturally I grew up with it not knowing what was all around me. Now I'm recollecting all the things that were given away over the years. My grandmother loves it. She "selectively" gives me thing when I visit which unfortunately isn't enough. I'm in Michigan. But she has given me several cookie jars and she has several more around her house. I also have many planters but I'm going to sell them and concentrate on my jars and pitcher collections. I only recently sold my Watts pottery and Roseville. I have to support my true addiction. Nice to talk with y'all.

I, too, went and bought books and gather info where I can. I started looking at yard sales and estate sales. There is a consignment auction not far from where we live and I have found some there, although you compete with dealers most all the time at any auction. I concentrate on flower pots and brown drip dishes but I will buy it if I like it. I have a wide lily vase and it is the prettiest piece I have, I think. It's funny that we don't know what we have until we loose it!!! Gotta run for now.

The address is as follows www.tias.com I was excited to find an antique mall so I did a search I found out so much information. I saw McCoy pieces that I had never heard of. There is an other antique mall that is called collectors super mall. The address is http://wwwcsmonline.com/index.html. Another of my favorite spots is E-Bay auction all kinds of things. The address there is http://www.ebay.com/ This is another fun spot !!!! I do a lot of looking and learning here too who knows you may want to by something at one of them. Have fun!!!!!

I started collecting McCoy about six months ago, and it has become a certifiable obsession! My particular passion are the green/brown, "cottage-y" pieces of the 1950s. They remind me of my Great-Grandma. Question: I suffer from bargain fever after I review any McCoy pricing guides and then go shopping. Granted, most of my shopping so far has been in pricey antique shops, but even if I fall in love with a piece, I'm only really tempted to buy if it is below the book price. How comfortable do you guys (or, y'all) feel about buying at book price? How are those priced determined? I love hearing all the information on this list; thanks, all of you.

The price guides are outdated within 6 to 12 months of their published dates. Buying below book is always good for the soul...but it is a difficult thing to address. A good suggestion is to let your love of a piece be the factor regardless of the price tag or the price guide. Cheers!

Seldom will I go to the top dollar unless it's something I really want or I know the rarity of the item then I may go over book. If I'm looking at it as a potential investment then I have to fiqure my cost vs. the resale cost. Then I'll buy at low book or below. Actually, there are so many price guides out there, if you take the average I'd say you're in a fair ballpark. Happy hunting.

I always love a bargain (below book). I have paid as little as $.10 for a McCoy planter or as much as $20.00 for a flower pot that is hard to find and the color I want and in good shape (no chips). If I really think I won't find it again, I will pay book but most of the time I can find bargains, if I am not in a hurry. It's always nice to talk McCoy.

I really feel "loved" tonight - had 57 emails, mostly from this list. Since we're sharing where we're from, I'm >from Selma, NC. Will attach some pictures of the planters I had questions about as soon as I can make the pictures in natural light - digital camera doesn't do too good in artificial light. "The Real McCoy" came from a TV show from the 50's titled "The Real McCoys". As far as where I look for McCoy: 1) Weekly auction every Sat night. 2) Antique stores (a bit pricey) 3) Yard sales (found a crock for $0.50 a couple of weeks ago) 4) My favorite - thrift stores - most glass and pottery pieces are less than $1 - recently found a 14" matte white McCoy Floraline vase for $1 I realize that Mt. Clemmons Pottery (MCP) is a McCoy line, but I thought they made only pottery. Recently found (at a thrift store) a set of 4 cups and saucers marked "Mount Clemens (note spelling of Clemens) Pottery - Yours From The Good Earth - Wild Berry". Is this the same company? Either way they are beautiful and now reside in our china cabinet - got the whole set for $3.16. That brings up another thought - as you're searching for McCoy, don't pass up the FLORALINE & MCP marks, and watch for the "shields". A lot of times this will be priced like "no name" pottery.

It is a great cross referenced guide to all McCoy Items including 500 Cookie Jars, Kitchenware, Dinnerware, etc. A excellent in depth history of McCoy pottery from beginning to present, original catalog sheets, personal Quotes from Nelson McCoy.

THEY ARE REFERED TO AS A 'X' 'Y' AND 'Z.' 'X' BOTTOM-HAS THREE CREAM COLORED BARS ACROSS THE BOTTOM. CREAM-COLORED AREAS ARE WHAT TO LOOK FOR. 'Y' BOTTOM-HAS TWO BARS ACROSS THE BOTTOM.
