[Mccoypottery-talk] Fakes and our Stand against them

[McQuita@aol.com]

Mark, you have gotten the point that I try to make.  Educate yourself, then 
you can educate others.  No one has all the answers...there is so much even the 
Mccoy's don't remember or know.  Working together, we can educate others on 
the repros, fakes, etc.
I feel very fortunate to know the folks I do, have the knowledge I've gained 
and to be able to share it.  If I don't know something, I'll tell you I don't 
know.
It breaks my heart to tell someone they have a repro/fake. I know the feeling 
of thinking I've found a true treasure to realize it's not genuine and it's 
not a happy feeling to have.
Even though we're here to answer questions, my encouragement to buy good 
books for back up still stands.  HNH, vol 2 and Sanfords Big Red are the best two 
books that include McCoy cookie jars that I'm aware of.  If a cookie jar is 
not in those books, it's PROBABLY not a genuine McCoy...there are a couple of 
exceptions.
Thanks for the kind words...That was a nice way to start Monday morning.
