Q: I have a McCoy cookie jar that belonged to my grandmother. It’s shaped like an apple and is yellow with red highlights. The lid has a stem and leaf on the top. I’d like to know how old it is and what it might be worth.

A : McCoy pottery was made in Roseville, Ohio. The company made cookie jars from about 1940 until the pottery closed in 1990. Its apple cookie jar was made from about 1950 to 1964. It was also made in turquoise, a rare color that sells for more. The value of your apple cookie jar is about $100.
