[Mccoypottery-talk] fakes

I was antiquing this afternoon and ran across an antiques store with several
McCoy reproductions. They clearly state that they are reproductions -- yet
they also state they were made with the original mold. ???????????

I found it easy to tell the difference between the real McCoy and the repro.
The repro LOOKS new.

A question. Was there a mark on the original McCoy cookie jars? If so, what
should I be looking for?
