[Mccoypottery-talk] Fun Trivia

[BarbCrews]

Well, I had several correct answers and several incorrect answers..
W does not stand for wheel... or William..

But it does stand for Winton --
You might remember a week or so ago I mentioned it was Don Winton's 84th 
Birthday. He is commonly referred to as the Grandfather or father of cookie 
jars. The Twin Winton did cookie jars, but Don designed for many other 
companies. The W's on Brush jars stand for Winton. They are always cute 
whimsical jars.

He also did quite a bit of work for Disney -- even doing a plastic model of 
the Sleepy Beauty Castle for Disneyland  (before it opened). Country Music 
award grammies, presidential library busts, on and on and on.  I remember 
when I learned the W was for Winton and immediately could  see his hand in 
the cute designs.

Anyway... lesson over. ~vbg~
