      Ann and everyone else. McCoy didn't make a red riding hood so if you =
see it and it's marked McCoy, run away from it....unless you choose to conf=
ront the seller about selling fakes.  Brush did make the cow with kitten on=
 it's back but it's not McCoy...it's Brush.  I don't know if the reproducer=
s have done it and marked it McCoy or not....Beware...Hanson/Nissen/Hanson,=
 vol. 2...is a wonderful and up-to-date book that includes McCoy cookie jar=
s.  Would make a good guide for you to study....If it's not there, chances =
it is NOT a mccoy cookie jar.  Chiquita

    chiquita ... all=20

    as someone who buys and sells mccoy ... the repros just make me sick.  =
I know one of the members of this list has a pamphlet out about the repro c=
ookie jars ... but seeing that red riding hood at private auction on Ebay j=
ust really makes me angry.=20

    what else can we do?  there are always repros on good pottery items but=
 it would seem this situation is more agressive than most ... even with the=
 Roseville repros ... one rarely sees such agressive marketing on Ebay.=20

    would a group letter, signed by all of us and directed to the appropria=
te ebay department help?  I don't like sitting here and just getting angry.=
  my name on it wouldn't help but yours, and some of the other people who'v=
e collected McCoy for years would ... what do you think??=20
