 Karen, My major concern about jumping over the tables was hairlines, you know
what that does to a precious piece of McCoy Pottery ><LOL>.

Oh, forgive my thoughtlessness.  How shallow of me not to think of the
McCoy first!!!  Sometimes my sense of adventure overcomes my good
judgement!!!  Sorry.  I will try and do better.  Hope everyone is having a
nice day.  At least it isn't cold and snowy!!!  It is about 60 and rain in
KY.  Not too bad because if you don't like the weather around here wait a
few minutes and it will change!!

Ken, 
Having a cat, or 3, is even more dangerous.  That is why I no longer
have #3026, the kitten with a ball of yarn, and I will NEVER be able to
replace it at any kind of reasonable price.
However, we do love our cats, or at least 2 of the 3.  You and Karen
make the Talk-line fun.

Karen,
That is what they say about Columbus, Ohio, weather, too.  We started
out bright and sunny, but now it is very cloudy, so I guess your rain is
headed our way--it is predicted, anyway.  How was your week-end with the
grandson?  Elizabeth

Elizabeth,  I haven't forgotten that you are looking to replace your
kitten!!!  I found one last summer at an auction and got it for $5.00 soooo
don't give up hope.  I am still looking!!!  I really like the kitten or I'd
say that I would sell it to you.  We had cats and now with the dog
(airedale), we can no longer have them around so my kitten is my planter!!
But I will keep looking.

I think Sammy is more computer literate than I am at times.  He went in and
turned it on and waited for me to come play. (3 1/2)  We played outside on
the gym set and with Bear (dog) and inside on the computer (Disney) games
most of the day.  When you ask him who I am he says that I am "mean ol'
granny" but when he talks to me I am Granny Karen.  He's my Buddy!!!  Sam's
Karate tourney made good money and he is hoping now to start another school
in Lexington.  Had a nice weekend and ended up with a small milk can
canister with a fruit decal on it.  $3.50 not too bad.  Thanks for the kind
words.  I try to keep myself upbeat.  I don't like to be 'down'.  Life is
better when we smile.

Hello all.. We have upgraded the List server, and hopefully it is 
successful with few bugs.

Anyway, the reason for the upgrade was so that we could place the 
following message at the bottom of every email that the list delivers:

"To be removed from the list, send email to requests@secure.mia.net with 
the following command in the body of the message:
unsubscribe McCoyPottery-Talk

You can also unsubscribe on line at: http://mccoypottery.com/mailinglists"

The bottom of every McCoyPottery Online Talk message on this list will 
now include instructions on how to be removed.  Hopefully this will help.

Happy Easter all!!!

If I knew for sure that I can come up with this whole set of pink/blue
dishes (know where they are, just need person to put a price on them) then
I would have had some things to sell.  As it is, I don't want to get rid of
what I have until I am sure I can replace them.  Maybe at a later date?
Sorry, that it worked this way.  Also, if we want to repeat this, I know a
few people who are new to the 'net' and would probably have a few things to
sell if they knew a little in advance.  Maybe will also sign up to chat
with us. Also, if you are planning on coming down this way (or just
surfing), check out the Harrodsburg, KY Antique site.  It's not bad for a
small town!!!  Several nice shops here.  Keep me informed on what's
happening.  Oh, yeah, the only way I could get to the garage sale site
(web-tv and here) was to have it in the body of a message and click!!
Don't know what I was doing wrong.

Not being a McCoy Cookie Jar collector,but a Black Americana Collector..I
purchased a chef cookie jar off of E-bay.
This jar is about 10" tall.He has a chef's outfit on trimmed in blue /with
his hands in his pockets .The skin color is dark
brown.He is marked McCoy on the bottom....I believe this is a fake. Can
anyone give me any insight on these type of
jars?

Yep, FAKE, or better known as Reproduction.  Sorry...This is the reason I
do not recommend ebay for McCoy collectors or anyone collecting itmes
that they are lead to believe are McCoy, buyer beware.  I would request my

Well I beg to differ, there are lots of reputable dealers on eBay, yes there 
are a few crooks, but that happens anywhere, I was at an Antique Mall last 
week ,and they had reproductions up the waazoo..

any  way the seller should mention it is a repro.
 BUT sometimes if you like an item and the real thing is 500.00 and the repro 
is 50.00 what's the difference if you like the item, and don't care about 
collector value..

imho  jo

I'm gonna have to agree with jo here Terry(dad) as you know I have had 
great luck with eBay.. Of course those are StarWars Characters that I 
buy, but we did buy that 32Port Switch through eBay and it was a deal, 
and the real McCoy I might ad.. I suppose you can have bad experiences in 
anything, anywhere and at any time.  eBay is just the newest way.

 understand that everyone thinks that I was harsh on ebay.   I receive on
average
 100's of emails every week outside of this list and an increasing number
are asking about
the  cookie jars on ebay and I find many are repros.  Once again McCoy
collectors
should take caution on ebay,,,,star wars is a different deal.  Now as far
as those
who are dealers on ebay on  this list....If there is a concern about what I
say then you should
clear the air on McCoy and  police others on ebay.  Cheers!  Terry

Terry, I wish,
 I could tell on the people who are ripping people off, not stating if a 
cookiejar is a repro...But eBay has strick rules, and if anyone writes to a 
high bidder and tells them the piece may be a fake can be kicked out of eBay 
for bid interruption..


I have in the past, though written to a seller, and asked, nicely for them to 
mention, in their listing, if the jar is a new one...some do & some don't...

I understand the point you make, however I just today received email to
my email address off the list asking about repros and  I have  seen repros
on ebay which the seller did not like the comments and questioned my
knowledge....Once again ebay is great for cars, toys, and jukeboxes, but
unless the seller puts up a photo of the cookie jar, caution should be the
key note...for:  Mammy with Cauliflower, Indian Head, Colby Cat, Mammy
just to name a few and then there is the McCoy Little Red Riding Hood. Ha Ha.
or is that LOL?  Anyway Jo, I do not feel warm and fuzzy with ebay with McCoy
vendors.  Once again I am not picking on any individual just the problem with
vendors who sell something they do not realize is a repro.  Key here is a photo
of the item.  If no photo do not bid....even if you want a repro because
you can
not afford  the real thing...A true McCoy collector will have no repros.
If you
want a repro perhaps ebay should have a repro page for sellers and buyers.
Anyway Cheers!  Terry the purist

I have been dealing on eBay since November.--mostly in postcards &

did not respond to email.  I do think that there are repro cookie jars
and I notice people buying the McCoy Red Riding Hoods.  Do they know
they are buying repros or not?

Terry,
Just a thought--even a McCoy coolector may make a mistake.  We have
collected, bought and sold McCoy for over 20 years.  Since we never did
too much with the cookie jars, I'm not sure we couldn't be fooled.
Thanks to the NMxpress, we are getting better informed about the
reproductions than we were before.  We bought and resold a Chairman of
the Board several years ago.  Later I found out that it is being
reproduced.  I don't know when that started, so we will never know if we
sold an original or not.  I think we did, and I certainly hope so.  One
person who was making repros a number of years ago (I think mostly Hull,
but not sure) is in the central Ohio area.

Interesting input,  I agree that one should create their own legacy, and the
repro area should not be used  for this purpose.  Now as far as keeping the
legacy of McCoy alive, this is what the reference books, web sites, clubs,
lists,  collectors  etc., are all about.  While it appears that the legacy
is being
used by these other items it really is keeping it alive and the McCoy
family should be flattered.  Keep in mind not through repro's though.
Cheers!  Terry

Hi Everyone,
I have read all the controversy over McCoy repros and ebay.  As a dealer on ebay,
and also an avid bidder and super avid McCoy collector, I would never try to sell
anything that I thought was a repro without putting that information in.  As a
bidder I wouldn't dream of buying anything that didn't have a picture, or if I
thought there was a question about it, emailing the seller and asking.  That would
be like buying a car blindfolded!
Although ebay does have that disclaimer, buyer beware, I have found that the
majority of dealers are honest and will, if questioned, tell the truth about their
things. That is one of the big things.  Question them. If they are evasive or get
angry, then  don't bid!
 Most of the ones that I have dealt with also will return your money if you are
unsatisfied with the item.  And now ebay is getting into that area more with Safe
Harbour as a way to help everyone be happy with the experience.  Also another good
way to judge is to check the dealers feedback..it really gives you a lot of
information about the way they handle their business.
It's a great way to meet some very nice people..and as I bid a lot more than I
sell,  I can truly say that I love it.  I have found McCoy there that you just
don't see here in Texas and vice-versa.  It is like a huge flea market to me.  But
lately the prices have been so out of sight  that I am thinking of selling the
c/j's  that I got last year for such bargain prices!  I guess nothing good will
really last that long.
Hope I haven't gone on to long and everybody have a nice day,
Andrea

Hello all,
I am a new comer to the McCoy collectible world.  I really got a kick
out all of the comments on repros and e-bay.  I collect string holders
and Dick and Jane items also.  I agree with the person who stated that
you should not buy if there is not a picture.    But add to that a very
"good" picture.  In the case of pottery, perhaps the seller should post
a good clear picture of the item and a picture of the bottom showing any
markings if they can (provided the markings will show up in a photo).
When dealing with books, I only buy if there is are several pictures to
include the front and back cover along with pages that may be soiled.
The string holders are subject to repros also and the prices tend to run
high on-line.  The best weapon is to be knowledgeable on the items you
wish to collect.  But even the best get fooled sometime.  Then you just
have to chalk it up to lessons learned.  Anyone familiar with the phrase
"buying a pig in a poke"?

Hi,
    i went to an estate sale this weekend and got a steal on a piece of 
floraline too.  It is No. 415 in excellent condition!!  for only a dollar!!
    I do have a question .  I bid on a piece at an auction and got it .  It 
was the 10" blue and pink striped bowl but it had a great big crack in it. I 
didn't get to look at it before. (I'm not too bright some times) Anyway  do 
you guys throw that kind of stuff away?  
    I really enjoy reading all your comments.   
                                                               Thank you,

Subject: Floraline IS McCoy


Been reading with interest your letters
concerning Floraline.  I'm often amazed at
the number of people that don't realize that
it is just as much McCoy as a piece marked
McCoy.  A nice thing about the items marked
Floraline is that they are easily dated 
(1940-1945).  I once bought a 14" matte
white Floraline vase in an auction "box lot"
for $2.00.  After our artistic oldest
daughter furnished it with a dried
arrangement, it served as our dining room
center piece for quite some time.  It is now
in our den and the center piece is now a
gloss white handled Floraline vase. If it 
wasn't for Floraline, my collection
quantity would drop drastically.

And don't forget about Mt. Clemons.  I have
numerous pieces with either the MCP mark
and/or the rectangular pitcher.  My latest
is a beautiful dark brown pitcher with a
molded wild turkey on both front and back.
Got it for $3.00, just because the other
McCoy buyers at that auction didn't
recognize the mark.

I know this is off topic, but just wanted to
say that I'm glad someone else appreciates
and collects Haeger.  Got lots of pieces
ranging from "molded Royal Haeger" mark to
"paper label Haeger".

Anyone else ever seen the Haeger "Swan &
Pond"?  It's a two piece set - mine is in
matte white. (I'll buy anything that either
matte white, black, or green).

If you're new to pottery collecting, be
aware that they are many other makes just as
interesting as McCoy. (Don't get me wrong -
McCoy rules!!!)

Other lines to look for:
Brush (lots of pieces marked uSa [note S is
larger than u & a)

Hull

Cookson Brothers

Gonder (Very valuable)

UPCO (anyone know what that stands for?)

Jug Town (Home State [NC] favorite)

Shawnee

West Germany (There will never be a West
Germany again)

And don't forget about the thousands of
unmarked American Bisque.

A McCoy repro is hardly what I would define as "Imitation". As an artist 
I myself am offended by the repros out there as they are not created by 
artists, there are at best very, very poor reproductions by poor 
craftsmen.  In every case, the repro is smaller than the original.  This 
happens because the individual/s responsible for the repro simply made a 
mold or cast of the original.  This type of transfer, or "second 
generation" reproduction results in a smaller piece.  I don't lay all the 
blame or dislike of repros on the people/s who have created the repros, I 
lay most the blame on the unethical behavior of people who try to pass 
them off as the real McCoy, and believe me, there are a lot of people out 
there who knowingly sell these repros as the real thing. While I am a bit 
passive on the subject most of the time, dad (aka mccoy@mccoypottery.com) 
will actually confront the dealer/s who are doing this when we are at a 
show, or flea market.  Boy do some of these people get defensive.  Dad 
even hung around one stand for about an hour making sure that others knew 
that the repros on the table (about 5 or so) were not real and they 
should be sure to beware. Now there was one dealer at this particular 
flea market that had a repro and had it labeled "Repro" and priced 
accordingly. 

In my professional opinion as an artist and asspiring art historian, I 
can honestly say that I have yet to see a repro of McCoy that is anything 
but an abortion.  Through the years there have been several 
artists/artisans that have copied or imitated others works.  In fact, 
Rembrandt and DaVinci alike indulged in a common practice when training 
students.  This practice was to have the students copy their works.  This 
is a how you became an artist.  You would spend years and years copying 
the masters works until no one could tell the difference.  After that, 
then you developed your own style and works.  The people creating repros 
are not artists, nor are they students of art.  They are masters in crap, 
plain and simple.  Another reason there are so many copies of famous 
works of art throughout the ages is because some people could not afford 
the real thing and would commission a less skilled artist to create a 
copy of a popular work by one of the masters so they too could have a 
piece of art to put in there home/church, wherever.  This is not the case 
with a McCoy, as most repros seem to be more costly then the real thing.  
And of course, we are not dealing with the last supper here.  Most 
McCoy's are within reach of the average person.

Regards,

The List Mom

I agree completely. When we see McCoy on eBay that doesn't seem to be getting 
the kind of bids we think it should, we immediately check it out. One item 
recently stated Money Orders Only. There is nothing wrong with requesting 
Money Orders only, but I consider it a flag. I didn't question the seller, 
but checked the feedback, and sure enough there was a recent complaint.

I checked  Safe Harbor yesterday in my spare time :-) , I don't remember the 
exact words, but it was something to the effect of eBay insuring with Lloyd's 
of London, sells up to $200.00 with a $25.00 deductible. I don't understand 
all I know
about it, but this sounded pretty good to me. I think this is the price range 
most people could get hurt in.  Maybe someone who has not just returned from 
a much needed vacation, with a lot of dirty laundry and pottery to clean, or 
maybe I should put first things first. Pottery to clean and lots of dirty 
laundry, will understand and interrupt the Safe Harbor note better than I did.

No, I don't throw it away. You might try boiling milk and sticking the
cracked part in it. Sometimes it seals the cracks and you can hardly see

Definitely don't throw it away.  I was at an auction recently and saw a McCoy
dog dish with a rather large crack go for $48.  I was tempted to bid but decided
not to once the price passed $10 partly because I an new to the Wonderful World
of McCoy and partly because my instinct said NO!  After conferening with some
knowledgable collectors, turns out I was right.  I was not worth the money.  My
question now is how much is the dealer (I am sure it was a dealer who bought)
going to stick some unknowing collector (like myself) for.    Just look at it
this way, you got a piece that you like and you are keeping some shady dealer
from taking advantage of some pure soul like me who would probably pay $48 for
the pick and blue striped bowl.

By the way, where are these auction at.  The ones I go to seem to be full of
people who know what they are looking for.

hi 
     I am from western Pa. by Erie.   Thanks for the information on the 
crack.  Really appreciate it!  This week I got the 12" bowl but it is in 
excellent shape.  Plus I was really excited I got my first cookie jar, the 
white stove.  The cold paint is wore a little but other than that it is good. 
 I only paid $20 for it.
    In my buying sprees I have acquired alot of U.S.A. stuff.  So I bought a 
book on Hull and Shawnee.  I was quite surprised at the pricing of the 
shawnee.  Some of that is really high!!
     Thanks again for all the information you pass on to us beginners!!

Joanne,
You have the right idea.  In the last 20 years or  so we have spent lots
of money on books.  Occasionaly, one piece will pay for the book when
you find the right information.
Much Shawnee goes unidentified when it just has the # and U.S.A.  Brush
the same way, except the S is always a bit larger.  Shawnee glaze is
usually very distinctive once you get familiar with it.
Have fun.
Elizabeth

Thank you Karen.  I am near Charlotte, NC but love Kentucky.  I have some

wonder what they are worth.  I just use them for mixing large recipes.  If 
they are collectibles, maybe I shouldn't do that.  What do you think?

Leslie,
What are you asking for your Pussy at the Wheel?  We sold so much of our
McCoy when the mall we were in for so long closed because at the time my
husband didn't think we would do any more shows.
However, what I regret is selling any McCoy with cats because I have
quite a  number of cat pictures, books and figurines.
Want #3026 cat with ball of yarn that one of our cats broke, and also
the spinning wheel, but probably won't be able to find them at a price a
senior citizen is willing to pay.
I know what you mean about talking McCoy--did it all the time at shows
and when I had time, when I worked part-time at the mall, if there was
interest in our pottery, I was off and running.
Keep it up, and enjoy it.
Elizabeth

I have gotten mixed feed back about using my flower pots that I collect.
Some say not to, some say that's what they are for.  I use my flower pots
(most of them), I have a hard time finding enough indoor plants to fill all
of them.  I use my brown drip bowls sometimes for company or special
occasions.  I guess you just have to decide if you are willing to loose
them if they break.  As far as KY, I was born and raised in so. central KY
and love it.  I have lived other places but always call KY home and doubt
that I will live anywhere else now.  Nice to chat with you and sorry that
it took so long to get back but this is a work address and I am not here on
the weekends.

Sorry I didn't respond sooner but this is a work address.  I tried to sign
up from my home email but I haven't received anything at home yet so maybe
I didn't do something correctly.  Thursday there is an auction in
Lawrenceburg, KY.  Friday the auction is between Nicholasville and Danville
at the Crossroads and Sat. night in a small town between Liberty and
Danville.  If you are going to be in the area, I can get you additional
directions.  We got to the Sat. night auction almost every Sat.  Hit the
others as time permits.  Lately, have been checking out Ebay and other
online auctions but figure that will slow as it warms up outside.  Again,
sorry for being so late responding.  Thanks and nice to talk to ya.

Are you speaking of the spinning wheel?  I see them at $15.00 from time to
time and have one I picked up for $8.00.  If this is a price you can live
with, let me know.  I may can find one for you.  We are currently making
plans for the May graduation...time is getting near.  My Mom said maybe we
can find time out to meet you for coffee and desert or at least a chat....
I could bring it then.  I'll keep my eyes open.

I can live with those prices easily.  I have neither the pussy at the
well nor the spinning wheel planter anymore.  I doubt if I will ever
replace the #3026 cat planter. If I had realized how rare it was, guess
I would never have used it.  Book value is WAY UP THERE.
Did get that common NM little bowl-shaped planter for $1.00 at a flea
market Saturday.
We went to an auction on Saturday where 3 vases sold that were probably
brown-glaze Loy-Nel Art.  We didn't get there soon enough to look at
them and couldn't get close enough when they were sold.  It was so cold
in this unheated fairgrounds building we didn't stay.
Karen, if the graduation is in Westerville, we can head up that way to
meet you if we don't have anything else come up.  I forget what date you
gave me.  When I know, I will check my calendar.  Elizabeth

I don't remember seeing the pussy at the well.  I guess I was combining the
wishing well and the spinning wheel that has the cat and dog.  I will
however, keep looking.  The cat that I have is a kitten curled up with a
ball of yarn and has an NM mark.  Don't remember a number on the bottom but
I will look.  Again, I wish I had a scanner!!!  Now, I have more to look
for than just flower pots.  Lise' is supposed to let me know about the
Grad. (again) but I think it is the 15-16th of May.  Details when I get
them....Later.+

Hi Ellizabeth,
Sorry it has taken so long for me to answer you. We have the Pussy At The
Well priced at $150.00, but are open to a reasonable offer. A dealer friend
of ours bought one at Metrolina Expo the first weekend in April for $200 and
she intends to sell it in Atlanta. The planter is in excellent condition
with the exception of some cold paint loss on the cat. Thanks for your
inquiry and please let me know if you are interested. Would you happen to
have any McCoy you would like to sell such as Figural Planters, Flower
Forms, etc?

Leslie

P.S. I enjoy your messages over the talk line. Love to hear about McCoy
finds, etc.
