[Mccoypottery-talk] Re: Avon Panda

[M. Caudill]

I found the upside-down Panda CJ at a yard sale yesterday for $10.  I'm
pretty sure it's an authentic McCoy, but my book says it's marked McCoy and
mine only has 210 and USA on the bottom.  I figure if someone was reproing
it they would mark it McCoy.  The weight feels right, but all of the black
cold paint is gone; other than that it's in perfect shape.  It has the Avon
heart on the foot.  Again, I figure if it were faked, they would have
cold-painted it and wanted more.  I guess I have an upside-down polar bear
CJ now.
