[Mccoypottery-talk] our_country_treasures what a laugh

[McCoy Pottery List Mom]

Ok, so I wrote to old country treasuer's (known seller of fakes on 
eBay) about a Little Red Riding Hood they were selling.  You can pretty 
much guess what the first part of the conversations was.  It was me 
saying, hey, McCoy NEVER made a LRH... Blah, blah, blah.  Anyway, here 
is the response:

Sorry, you are wrong.  There is no "Roger Jensen McCoy".  His name is 
"Roger Jensen".  Last name is "Jensen", not McCoy.  You might want to 
re-read your "information".  You are wrong.  McCoy Pottery did not 
exist in 1991-93.  They closed up in 91

So in short...

1.  McCoy never made a Red Riding Hood cookie jar
2.  Roger Jensen, not Roger Jensen McCoy made this jar
3.  The jar is not McCoy.
4.  McCoy pottery ceased operations in 1991

You might want to distinguish between Roger Jensen, who is  a known 
maker of fake, reproductions, and pieces that (like this one) McCoy 
never made.

Perhaps a listing like this:

"For Sale, Roger Jensen Little Red Riding Hood, non-McCoy fake" or 
something to that affect.

Have a lovely day!
