McCoy El Rancho

[cathy morbitzer]

I absolutely love talking antiques.. mccoy in particular. Would it be 
possible to get into a chat room for quicker talking?
ICQ.com is great or suresite.com/chat.htm and Identify yourself as a 
mccoy buff.
Thanks,
Cathy My ICQ # is 10172674

>> Good Morning to my fellow McCoy collectors,
>>
>> I have a quick question about the El Rancho Bar-B-Q pottery. I have 
seen
>>the ivory color with the brown highlights, made in the 60's in my 
reference
>>material.
>>
>> I have not seen the multicolor version dated 1982. 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. The only 
marks I
>>see on the pieces follows:
>>
>> "copyright 1982 C.C."
>>
>> Many thanks,
>>
>> Joe

>Hello Joe,  To the best of my knowledge McCoy did not make the item you 
seek

and

>but it was in made for the Gailstyn Company, in 1960.  I would suggest 
that the

describe.
