[Mccoypottery-talk] ploughboy

[Douglas Brown]

Thanks Elizabeth.  I'm still picking up pieces here and there when I get out and about.  I was really disappointed to see on eBay past sales the number of cookie jars that went dirt cheap.  I was new to all this when that guy on TV appraised the cat- in -the-basket for $1,400.  My mother died 5 hrs. ago thinking it was worth that because she saw the same program.  I saw her jar on past sales for about $50.  My bubble popped ... but on the other hand I can now afford the ones I couldn't in the past.  So I guess there is a good side to it.
  My aunt has the same cat jar in better shape and she too thinks its worth $1,400.  So I"m about out of McCoy 101 and graduating to 102.   This has been a real education.  Regarding the planters...my grandmother died two weeks before my mother and she was 98.  Her basement is full of those darn planters.  I'm going to put about a dozen of mine on ebay just to move them out.  I have decided to just keep the "Best" and move the rest.  This pack rat needs a new nest.  :)

  Doug, 
We are not doing much collecting anymore, but over the last 30 or so years certain lines will be "hot" and then get hard to find and later to sell. We were collecting the brown and green stoneware when most people weren't even looking at it. There was a big run on Grecian for awhile; same for gold trimmed, miniatures, flower forms, etc. Martha Stewart made the pastel NM pieces popular, and then there was the Butterfly line. Don't know why, but that is the way it seemed to go.

I've noticed that too....does anyone know what causes the prices to go up and down...is it the time of year or just a trend.

with a value (1999) of $100 to $125. Prices may be down currently but it 
is still a nice find.
