McCoy Cookie Pot

[smile4katie]

A Vintage
I know it was made for one year in 1974 and supposedly hard to find. I have seen a few online, but at least one of them was NOT original at all.

Cannot see "McCoy" on the bottom of your piece....

I was about to ask KC if my poor eye-sight was catching! then read your next post!  Judging by KC's link you definitely have the real McCoy there

Interestingly, I found this one on Go Antiques, no price and I think that it's been sold, but they say that theirs was made in 1962 - 1964, and the 1974 was very similar. Take a look at theirs and compare it with yours.... if you haven't already that is

And yet can't find this one listed under cookie jars on the McCoy site!  But it has been a long day at work.. so it's probably me!

Yes I saw that one and it is correct on dates, that was the first one then in was restyled in 74 and only produced that one year.
Here is a link to those details.

That's actually pretty neat. Although they are collectable, I haven't been a big fan of most McCoy cookie jars, but I like this one!

I agree, I have never been a cookie jar fan period but it is neat. Totally not me though! My parents gave it to me and it sits in a box, the poor darn thing hee hee
