Don Winton's Twin Winton jars are very distinctive -- most had a light brown wood finish stain, lighter than the California Originals or Treasure Craft pieces, with some color embellishments. Additionally, some jars were offered in solid colors such as gray, red, avocado, orange, ivory, and pineapple.

Don and Ross Winton also did quite a bit of sculpting for the Brush Company. Their designs are distinguished by a W in the markings on the bottom of the jar.

The prices shown are suggested ranges only. Prices are a combination of book values, completed auctions and cookie jar dealers. Many times bargains can be found at online auctions and at other times greatly inflated prices, those are not always a true value.

Consideration must be taken into account as to when auction was held, images used, condition, category, and description. All of these things can greatly affect the price realized.
