How's Everyone?

[Lee Peedin]

Been a while since I joined in, been reading
all messages, just didn't have anything to
say.

First let me tell you about my latest finds.

I have several stoneware frogs, one that's
in "The Guide To Brush-McCoy Pottery" by
Martha & Steve Sanford.  At last Sat.'s
auction I found a frog marked McCoy that is, via
appearance, quit old.  This guy is over 6"
long and about 3.5" high.  Can't find him in
any of my books, though.  BTW, don't know if
the above mentioned book is still in print,
but it's an execellant reference for
identifing unmarked pieces.

Also, at last Sat.'s auction found the
Scotty Dog Planter (5 dogs on front).  Got a
minor chip on the back of one ear, but
displays well.

Now I need some help.  In "The Collectors
Encyclopedia of McCoy Pottery" by Sharon &
Bob Huxford (the black book) on Page 159,
top row, left, is Humpty Dumpty; however,
the book simply says 'Not McCoy'.  Does
anyone know who made this.  I found a yellow
one several months ago.

One more thing, our company is currently in
the process of installing internet servers,
routers, etc. in order to become a full ISP.
That means I get free space for a web site
'as large as I want'.  My plans are to build
a site to display all our pottery.  Most of
what I have is McCoy, but also have some
RedWing, Brush, Watt, Haeger, Hull, Royal
Copley, etc. plus a quit large selection of
unidentified pieces.  My plans are to
seperate by company and also have a section
for the unidentified.  Will let everyone
know when it is ready.

So long for now
