Any item with a high bid of over $300 will receive FREE shipping/handling/insurance! Please scroll down for additional photos & description . Let me paint you a picture.... I met a very nice lady about 2 years ago who has been collecting cookie jars for the past 50 years. She told me she bought her first cookie jar for only .50 cents brand new in downtown Dayton, Ohio fifty years ago. She is 70+ and is sadly ready to part with them due to the fact that she can no longer care for them the way she has in the past. Twice a year for the past 50 years each cookie jar has been cleaned and dusted. They have been well taken care of, sitting only on a shelf for display. When I asked her "Do any of them have chips or cracks?" She replied "If they do, then they came to me that way, I have taken good care of these jars." And in fact, I have looked them over and with the exception of a few minor chips or crazing on some, she is right. This is a very nice collection of jars. She has 100+ cookie jars , and just from looking them over real quick, I'd say about half of them are McCoy. I have brought them all to my home and will be putting about 5-10 or so up for auction each week until they are gone. Please know that I am not a cookie jar expert by any means and will be going solely on information from her books, internet, what she has told me and by looking at them myself. I try to tell all, not to discourage, but to be honest so that t are no "suprises" when you receive your package . I have taken many pictures of each jar which will most likely be the best description of all. If you have questions, please ask them prior to bidding. If you feel I have made an error, please let me know so I may correct the information. Again, I do not know anything other than what I read on these cookie jars. I don't claim to be an expert and will have no way of knowing if any are fakes. All I can say is I will list them as honest as I see them. This lady has been collecting these the majority of her life and I don't believe she would spend this much time collecting fake cookie jars, however you do not know when t may have been a dishonest person selling her a fake or reproduction, which is why I ask you to please ask all questions prior to bidding. You will simply be amazed at all of the cookie jars. Also I do want to mention that these have not been cleaned yet this year due to her health, so some of them may need a light cleaning as I am not up for cleaning over 100 cookie jars, with my present schedule...I hope you'll understand. All of the cookie jars will start with a low bid of $9.99 and most will have no reserve. Please note that I will not be able to combine shipping on any of the cookie jars as some of these are old & rare . Even though I pack well, you never know what's in store while shipping. I DO buy bubble wrap by the "tractor tires". Meaning I have a very large amount on hand. Each cookie jar will come separately double boxed with packing paper, then sufficient bubble wrap, then either newspaper or styrofoam for padding. I have large sheets of styrofoam that I break up and sometimes use to pad breakables also. Either way, I do my part to make sure your item will arrive safely. Shipping includes a handling fee ($1 - $3 depending on size) and insurance up to $50.00. IF YOUR ITEM EXCEEDS $50.00, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE SO THAT INSURANCE CAN BE ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY TO ACCOMODATE THE WINNING BID SO THAT YOUR ITEM IS FULLY COVERED WHILE IN TRANSIT. Be sure to mark me as one of your "Favorite Sellers" as I will have many, many more cookie jars in the upcoming weeks . Kangaroo Cookie Jar from McCoy 1965 Birchwood color Measures 11.5 " tall From what I understand, this is a hard to come by cookie jar. Though not perfect, this cookie jar is still just adorable. It is birchwood in color and has a kangaroo finial with Joey prominently in pouch. This jar lid does have chips, cracks, breaks/repairs and crazing. In my op... read more
