Antique Questions Forum / Re: Help needed: McCoy-Pillsbury doughboy "Baker Bob"

Thank you for the advise.  I contacted the McCoy pottery site and found out that the cookie jar is a "real mccoy". The mark is from the 70's when McCoy was owned by the Mt.Clemens Pottery Co. I think this is a little unusual for this jar, as every other item like this I have found online is marked with the 183 McCoy USA
mark.  Glad to hear its not a repo

Antique Questions Forum / Help needed: McCoy-Pillsbury doughboy "Baker Bob"

« on: April 10, 2012, 11:49:18 am »

I have a pillsbury doughboy cookie jar.  After doing some research I have found out it is a McCoy Baker Bob cookie jar.  It stands 10 1/2 inches tall.  My issue is on every site I have found this same cookie jar they state it is marked with 183 McCoy USA on the bottum.  However mine is marked with a later McCoy marking (McCoy in a triangle with a teapot? next to it).  I am wanting to sell this and was wondering if the difference in markings makes a difference as to its value.  I have included pics.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

Antique Questions Forum / Can someone tell me about: Yellow divided dish - USA

« on: April 02, 2012, 01:26:05 pm »

 I have a yellow divided dish.  It has a grape vine with leaves pattern in the middle and on each edge (see pic). The bottom is marked 3736 with USA below the numbers.  It is 13 1/2 inches in length, 7 inches wide and approx. 2 inches deep. I have searched the web but cannot find one like it.  Does anyone know the maker of this, around the time it was made and an estimated value.  Any info would be greatly appreciated.
