[Mccoypottery-talk] Huge Heinz 57 crock or slow cooker

[Mary]

Hi Everyone!

My husband got a Heinz crock/slow cooker some time ago, and we've never
decided if it's McCoy or not.  Anyone out there able to help?  It is
approximately 10-1/2" tall plus another 1" for the knob, and
approximately 13" diameter.  It has a thermostat control and old looking
cord/plug, maybe 50's or 60's, with a heating element.  The top is a
lift-off metal piece with a hard plastic knob.  The outside looks to be
stoneware.  The lift out insert (crock or metal?) is missing.  Did McCoy
make this?  If not any ideas who did?

I have a pic to view:   http://rapidnet.com/~av8r/heinz57.jpg

Thanks for any info or comments!
