More About This Cookie Jar -- Is Junk or a Jewel?
Chocolate Smiley

 

Back to >> Junk or Jewel Jar Index

From Sally G: "I have a Shawnee Smiley Bank Head, Gold #60 Cookie Jar which is what I think is mint condition, would very much appreciate a value."

That is an absolutely gorgeous Chocolate Smiley and truly a Jewel! There are endless variations of Smiley and they can range anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars for the rarer decorated jars.

My Guesstimate -- The Chocolate jars are usually seen in the $325. - $400. range without gold trim. Adding gold trim would add another hundred or so.

These Guesstimates are meant as a GENERAL GUIDE, not as a bible of prices. The values shown will give you an idea of what a cookie jar might be sold for at cookie jar shows or shops. Although online auctions do play a large part in the lives of many collectors, and bargains can be found there, these price suggestions do not always reflect online auctions. There are too many factors to be considered with the price realized at an online auction. Some of these include: how good the photo was, availability of buyers, other jars listed, the description wording, the rating of the seller, time of the auction --both day and hour ending, and of course the category jar was listed in.

Please note: I am not an appraiser, just someone who has been involved in the world of cookie jars for many years.
