Q: I’d like to know how much this cow cookie jar with a cat sitting on the lid is worth. It’s marked “Brush U.S.A., W 10” on the bottom and is about 12 inches long and 8 1/2 inches high.
A: Brush Pottery was in business in Zanesville, Ohio, from 1925 to 1982. The company was one of the first to make modern cookie jars and its figural jars are popular with collectors. This cow and cat cookie jar was made in several color combinations in the 1950s. Prices of cookie jars have dropped since the 1990s. The brown version like yours is common and was selling for over $200 but retails today for $50 to $65.
We currently have several vintage items that we will be selling as part of an estate: Precious moments, lady head vases, cookie jars, Shawnee corn dishes, Superman, Batman, Robin figurines, Barbie dolls, old books, Polly Pockets, Pez dispensers, Beanie Babies to name a view. What is the best way to sell these items. We don’t have time to sell thru Ebay. Has anyone had any luck with selling in lots (all precious moments for X amount.
I have the #6 and #7 red mixing bowls with the inside rings and the HLC indented on the bottoms. Neither bowl have any chips. Can you tell me the value of each? I cannot find a current value.
