I'll be adding bits of info about various McCoy Pottery subjects here.Quitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17483766714059880484noreply@blogger.comBlogger41125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440880474275801402.post-67702133742079450072013-08-27T15:48:00.002-04:002013-08-27T15:48:45.570-04:00Quitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17483766714059880484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440880474275801402.post-35423816627489336462013-08-27T15:31:00.002-04:002013-08-27T15:45:46.867-04:00My Newest AquisitionThis is the newest aquisition to my McCoy collection, the Hillbilly Bear Cookie Jar. It is so illusive I never, ever, ever thought I would have it. About l5 years ago I was fortunate enough to buy the "lid" to the jar from a friend. The bottom to it had been destroyed so I never even thought I'd find a bottom to make a complete jar.
This summer I had an e-mail offering me the cookie jar if I could pay an acceptable price for it. I assured the seller others could pay him more than I could, much more, but he wanted me to have it to add to my collection. He'd seen this website and knew I would love and treasure this jar which had been his grandmothers for many years.
I have several rare items in my collection but this is THE Rarest I do belive...an item I will treasure for ever!
A couple of collectors couldn't understand why I wouldn't put a price on it and sell it. Everyone doesn't realize that we all love our Collections, for whatever they are, and just because some can pay more than others it doesn't lessen the thrill for us when we can buy something.
Someone even called the seller asking why he sold it to me and not to him...that he would have paid more.
I'm happy for each and every one of you when you find something that gives you pleasure, whether it is a simple pot and sauce or the perfect item you've been looking for...or a rare item.
The seller and I have become e-mail friends...you never know where or when you can make a new friend...that's a treasure itself.Quitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17483766714059880484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440880474275801402.post-83712302569177786752012-08-16T22:28:00.001-04:002012-08-16T22:28:36.392-04:00gardencollectibles is a seller of fake mccoy on ebayQuitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17483766714059880484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440880474275801402.post-80952431861231714552012-08-16T20:42:00.001-04:002012-08-16T21:04:30.031-04:00 lovemonkeyyes2012 on ebay is a deadbeat bidder...if you sell, consider blocking her...bid on many high dollar items and has not paid at least four of them.

David and his wife Shelley were a big part of the McCoy Pottery Collectors Reunions for the years that they came. David and Shelley always had a room full of beautiful McCoy for sale during the week there. David had a wonderful, lively sense of humor and was a lot of fun to be around.Quitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17483766714059880484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440880474275801402.post-57944345699526635962011-10-12T20:09:00.002-04:002011-10-12T20:11:44.163-04:00Zanesville Art Museumhttp://www.zanesvilletimesrecorder.com/article/20111012/NEWS01/110120303/Exhibit-features-pieces-from-McCoy-pottery-s-150-year-history?odyssey=tab|topnews|img|Frontpage<br /><br /><br />It's not too late to visit the Museum and see Nelson and Billie this Saturday.Quitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17483766714059880484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440880474275801402.post-11575232723294162742011-10-03T20:26:00.000-04:002011-10-03T20:27:13.590-04:00http://randolphlibrarynews.blogspot.com/2011/09/vintage-pottery-donated-by-two.htmlQuitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17483766714059880484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440880474275801402.post-12014572089768101802011-09-26T22:33:00.001-04:002011-09-26T22:40:02.074-04:00McCoy Lamp Base/Wall Pocket<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtP5spbzWuNuebm2G_vcMgSWNu3Y9IzozebGfyaq_k1NSH5oeYOSBc0uCc5WwFkStzGf7ruojsfPiXDSy-TIdaybF3LxCxWoVsvytbpKwrTIyxqhiX6lGyoOelEd-24EKebR8RrvyFFy4/s1600/buckingham+wall+pockemccoy.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 371px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtP5spbzWuNuebm2G_vcMgSWNu3Y9IzozebGfyaq_k1NSH5oeYOSBc0uCc5WwFkStzGf7ruojsfPiXDSy-TIdaybF3LxCxWoVsvytbpKwrTIyxqhiX6lGyoOelEd-24EKebR8RrvyFFy4/s400/buckingham+wall+pockemccoy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656862911849838882" /></a><br /><br />This item is marked Buckingham but it was an item made by McCoy Pottery.

The economy in this area just is rotten, or worse. When I grew up here this town was known as the FURNITURE CENTER OF THE SOUTH with names like Broyhill, Bernhardt, Hammary, Kincaid being synonymous with quality furniture. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">Then along came China...and well, you know the REST Of The Story! Greedy owners decided to take the business overseas and to heck with the people who worked for them. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">Before the furniture moved away we did have several textile companies in our area, too...Yep, most of them left, too.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">Many people are out of work here, at one time I think it was like l5% unemployment rate,,,and probably more have expired their benefits so are not counted.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">Several Years back our "uptown" began efforts trying to re-vitalize...new shops were opened, the uptown area "perked up" a bit and you'd even see cars lining the streets at night time often.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">The banks (well, at least one that I know of) were/was eager to loan money to those who were investing their time and energy to put new life into old buildings and our old town.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">Times are still slow in the area...uptown is looking good....it's hard on these small businesses to make it with the negative economy here...but they're trying!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">Now the BANK is calling the loans. No bones, it's been hard for these folks to manage...but their hearts and souls are into the project they're working on. They have ambition! The bank has told them their loan is due. I understand another owner/buyer has been told hers will be due by the end of the year.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">Yah , sure! So friends of this couple are trying to raise money to help them out...</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">Just thought I'd share the story with you...life does , after all, have some things going on along with our McCoy hobby. This town was so vital when I was growing up, it's been sad to see it go downhill.</span></div></div>Quitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17483766714059880484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440880474275801402.post-21896928574398258502011-02-06T10:09:00.002-05:002011-02-06T10:12:53.970-05:00Auction tips from personal experience!I'm not a big auction goer but I did learn a good lesson back in November when I attended an auction. I was so happy to be seeing friends and other collectors I waited a little too long to go pick up a box lot containing bowls that I bought. When I got to the table, my box lot was gone...yet I still had the ticket to pay for it! My fault for not going to get it promptly ....but shame, shame on the person who took it!<br /><br />Again, check out the terms of auctions you're attenting or bidding on via the net. Some auctioneers allow the "house" to bid an item up to the price the seller wants...doesn't seem fair to me...<br /><br /><br />You'll NOT find this at Jeff Koehler's auctions..That's why I like attending auctions of his!Quitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17483766714059880484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440880474275801402.post-62919121968171066842011-02-06T10:05:00.003-05:002011-02-27T21:32:43.482-05:00ANOTHER MCCOY AUCTION COMING UP!!Our favorite McCoy auctioneer has done it again...he's booked another McCoy auction. This one is l,000 pieces from long time and well known collectors, Dan and Marge Prater. It's scheduled for April 17, I believe...it's on SUNDAY Check his website for details as they emerge. This is at the end of tax season and everyone will have their refunds.

I'm not a big bidder at auctions but I do enjoy lively atmosphere and comraderie of bidders. This afternoon I came across something I'd never noticed before.<br /><br /><FONT COLOR=BLUE><em> RESERVES: "Each item may have a confidential minimum reserve price established by the auctioneer and the consignor. The <strong>AUCTIONEER </strong>may bid on behalf of the consignor at the auction up to the reserve." </em> </FONT COLOR=BLUE><br /><br /><br /><br /><FONT COLOR=RED>Then I discovered this on "Live Auctioneers":<br /> <strong>Shill Bidding:<br />Fraudulent bidding by the seller (using an alternate registration) or an associate of the seller in order to inflate the price of an item. Also known as bid rigging and collusion. </strong></FONT COLOR=RED><br /><br /><FONT COLOR=GREEN>Is an auction not to sell items to the highest bidder? Reserves considered, the bids "would" be between two people who are interested in owning the item for sale?<br />So what's the deal if someone on the auction staff is bidding to get the price up? Hummmmm...prices are being set by the staff and seller, not the bidders.</FONT COLOR-GREEN><br /><br />If the bids on an item do not reach the reserve...then could it be the item is over priced? <br /><br />I'm Confused!Quitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17483766714059880484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440880474275801402.post-18310133004981456232010-10-04T20:48:00.004-04:002010-10-04T20:57:08.297-04:00McCoy auction coming up!Jeff Koehler has some great mccoy listed in an auction coming up in Mid-October...from the collection of Ken McDaneld...great stuff, Check it out!
