Hello: Unfortunately, and especially so since this is your first cookie
jar, you have bought a reproduction.  No genuine cookie jars are marked
"Brush McCoy". The mark "Brush McCoy" is, or has been, used by Roger
Jensen of Rockwood, Tennessee to reproduce a wide variety of older jars.
The design you described was known as "Muggsy" and was originally
produced by Shawnee Pottery and later by Terrace Ceramics. The original
jar by Shawnee sells for $300 and up depending on the trim. The
reproduction commonly sells $20 to $25.
