McCoy, McCoy, McCoy

[Allen, Helen M]

My first piece of McCoy was left in an old house I bought in 1972.  It was a
small yellow basket weave planter; I didn't really get that excited about
it, but I thought it was nice and kept it.  Later in years I began to
appreciate it's workmanship.  I still have it today along with a small
collection.  I guess that is the reason for my loyalty to this particular
type of pottery.  I was delighted to see so many publishers photographing
this pottery in their decorating layouts in recent months.

	If you haven't been on before, we started collecting in the '70's
and
	twice bought whole collections for an average of about $2.00 each.
We
	became dealers shortly after that, and now things cost more to buy
than
	we used to sell them for.
	And yes, I'm sure Martha S. had something to do with it.
