[Mccoypottery-talk] Alladin teapot cookie jar

[Mary Anne Smatana]

Hi,
I have a question for any of you mccoy experts out there.  I came across an aladdin
teapot cookie jar for $19.99.  It is in good shape as far as chips and cracks, but the
paint is chipping off.  I saw one sell on ebay for 39.00  that appeared to be in mint
condition  and was wondering if you think it would be a good buy.   The book value says
50 to 70.  Please help so I don't miss a good buy if indeed that is what it is!
Thanks in advance!
Mary Anne
