[Mccoypottery-talk] stove

[Cunningham, Beth]

I know what you mean Diane.  I ended up with pottery other than McCoy so I 
sold and gave away several items.  My husband and I added a master bedroom 
and bath to our house, but I still have problems finding room for all my 
pottery!  We went to an auction Saturday where 3 pieces of McCoy were 
sold.  A small blue ewer went for $20.  The double tulip and bird, with one 
leaf tip chipped off, sold for $37.50 and a turtle planter with a chip on 
one toe sold for $22.50.  I didn't go home with any McCoy as I try to find 
good, collectible pieces at good prices.  It seems that at auctions, I'm 
rarely willing to pay as much as another collector is. Oh well, I probably 
have in excess of 100 pieces, so I've had to become pretty selective.
To all the new people, welcome to the list and to the Wonderful World of 
McCoy Collecting!  Beth in KY
