Vintage Mammy cookie jar is a classic of black memorabilia, but alas this one- while marked McCoy - is a reproduction albeit with significant age but in our view not McCoy. Truth be told, there were only 2 McCoy Pottery mammy cookie jars that ever went into production, and sadly this is not one of them. Of course, we noted in a quick search of a major online auction site last night that 100% of the alleged McCoy mammy cookie jars were fakes. We are totally honest with our valued visitors here at Collectics, so this mammy cookie jar - while it has good decorative value - is not in fact original McCoy and thus being sold as a decorative piece versus the $500+ or so an authentic McCoy mammy would likely bring at retail. This reproduction McCoy mammy cookie jar is still old and quite well done, and it's in very good condition with no damage and only minor crazing to the glaze except one small horizontal area on the rear which is slightly more pronounced - see next to last photo. It's part of a major Atlanta, GA estate collection of fine vintage American pottery and illustrates that even experienced collectors can be fooled by fakes. /55
