Note: The above prices are suggested ranges only. Prices shown include a combination of online auctions, online dealer stores, price guides and personal experience. Many times jars can be found at lower prices at online auctions, but that is not always a true value. Consideration must be taken as to when auction was held, images used, category, and text. There are many factors that can affect the price of a cookie jar but ultimately it only takes two people to decide on a value or price, a seller and a buyer.
