Favorite Company and Cookie Jars

By Barbara Crews, About.com

A recent survey asked collectors what their favorite jar was from a particular company. The following are the results of that survey.

Shawnee
I probably shouldn't have even bothered with this survey, the hands down winner was Smiley Pig. Even poor Winnie was not even in the race, with only a handful of votes. Second place went to the Puss n'Boots jar. Read the comments mentioned about favorite Shawnee jars.

Twin Winton:
It was another toss-up between the Friar Tuck and Ranger Bear with the Sailor Elephant right behind. Take a look at some of the fun comments received on the poll.

American Bisque:
There really was no clear cut winner .. the Flintstones, the pigs, umbrella kids, were all mentioned as favorites. The jar with the most votes (barely) was Casper!

Brush:
Like the first survey, there was a huge variety of jars mentioned, but the two clear winners were the Brush Cow with Cat and Ice Cream Cone Elephant.

McCoy Results:
The first dozen or so answers were all different. I couldn't believe it! Finally two winners emerged, the McCoy Mammy and the McCoy Indian Head jars were the ones that most people picked. One surprise (to me) entry was the Wishing Well jar, that was the next most popular jar. The majority of folks did have the jar they mentioned.
