Brush-McCoy Cookie Jars, No Such Thing!

Brush-McCoy Cookie Jars -- there is no such thing! Although Brush and McCoy were one company for a few years, they went their own ways in 1925 and during the few years they were "together" no cookie jars were made. McCoy Pottery made cookie jars and Brush made cookie jars, but it was only after the two companies went their own ways.

There is NO such thing as an authentic Brush-McCoy Cookie Jar.

• The first Brush cookie jar, made in 1929, is pictured in The Complete Cookie Jar Book by Schneider.
• Ross and Don Winton designed many of the whimsical Brush cookie jars, the jars they designed have a W in the markings.
• Beware: Brush jars have been widely reproduced and it can be hard to tell reproductions from the originals.
• Original molds were sold and used later for reproductions. Brush Pottery closed its doors in 1982.

Bottom Line: If a jar is marked Brush-McCoy beware, it's not an authentic jar.
