Humpty Dumpty w/Beanie

Brush made two Humpty Dumpty jars, this is called the Beanie jar, the other has a peaked brown hat. This Brush jar is heavy, as are all their jars and is also known to be reproduced in several different ways. Beware of the jars marked McCoy - not the real deal. Reproductions might look like the real deal, but are often lighter weight.

The company - American Retro - also made a jar from the original mold, but it should be marked with the name of their company on the bottom.

• Date Produced: 1956

Cookie Jars A-Z

Things to Consider:

1. Please be aware that Brush Cookie jars have been widely reproduced, so it is very important that you know your seller! Check measurements and markings carefully.
2. There is no such thing as a Brush-McCoy jar.
3. The best investment for your cookie jar collection is a price guide or book that has markings and measurements.
4. These guesstimates are for jars in excellent condition.
5. Cracks, chips and paint loss will all detract from the overall value of a jar. And could, depending on the severity, devalue the jar by as much as 50%.
6. A badly damaged jar is worth very little, unless it is a very rare one that is worth restoring.
7. Gold trimmed jars are worth much more than plain jars.
