[Mccoypottery-talk] great find

[Betty F. Nelson]

Hello Tom,  Your request for help really came at a moment when every one wa=
s busy looking for a fake seller.  I did not ignore you and I have spent qu=
iet a bit of time looking for your number.  It sounds like that it should h=
ave been easy to find it since you even had the number.  I wish there was a=
 good reliable book that would list all of the numbers of the pieces.  Just=
 don't work like that.  However in the Vol. III of the HNH book page 81 the=
re is a catalog page "Janurary additons to 1959 catalog"  It shows the flow=
er holder #323.  It came ivory and green and was packed 18 to a case.  Case=
 weighed 50 pounds and cost the retailer $3.60 per dozen.  It gives the siz=
e as 7 1/2 X 5 1/2.  Only thing I didn't find was any kind of a current pri=
ce.  If some of the very knowledgeable people that read this like Chiquita,=
 Elizabeth, or Ruth would take a look at that page there at the bottom and =
shown dark green (in black & white), they may recognize it and can tell you=
 the current value.  Now that I know what size and shape I am looking for I=
 will look for it over coffee in the morning.  Hope this helps some.  Betty=

  i found an old McCoy Planter at a local thrift shop this afternoon.
  it has the usual "McCoy on the bottom with "323"
  "USA" on the bottom.
  how old is this thing.
  It's plain white too.
  Sorry guys I'm just exited I just started all this.
  Tom
