These are just a few of my favorite McCoy cookie jars. The subjects range from animals to space motifs to Fruits & Veggies to Sports and beyond! Some of the McCoy jars were made in the Forties, a couple in the Thirties but many, many of them came along in the Fifties and Sixties and later. These photos show only part of the ones manufactured by McCoy Pottery. I do have some in my collection that were made by Brush, RRpco , American Bisque and a few miscellaneous ones. There's nothing quite like the excitement of spotting a jar you're looking for! PLEASE EXCUSE THE DUST! I'd rather be out hunting than staying home dusting!
I enjoy talking to other collectors of McCoy and helping them with questions they may have. Reproductions and fakes are such a problem in todays collecting world that I try to help educate others through my site and the McCoy Pottery Collectors Society site.
My hobby of collecting McCoy has netted me many friends who share the same interest. Through the hobby I've been able to contribute to some of the collector books and even appeared on Martha Stewart several years ago with some of the McCoy Cookie Jars.

I have an interest in cookie jars that were made in the shape of vegetables. Of course, the lids can be a problem. Any idea where there might be a source for used McCoy "green leaf" lids in particular? I have a McCoy green pepper cookie jar, but the lid just doesn't seem to fit well,which says to me it may not be the original.
