VERY NICE SAILOR BANK MADE BY MCCOY FOR SEAMAN’S SAVINGS BANK! IT IS IN SUPER CONDITION – THE ORIGINAL METAL STOPPER IS MISSING AND THERE IS A TEENY PRODUCTION PIN-POP UNDER HIS NOSE (IT IS PRODUCTION AND IS NOT DETRACTING). GREAT ADDITION TO A COLLECTION!

~~#3866 – MCCOY POTTERY – AQUA COLOR LOVE BIRDS BOOKEND (SINGLE)~~ SOLD

THIS EXCELLENT CONDITION MCCOY BOOKEND HAS BEEN IN MY COLLECTION FOR MANY YEARS. IT’S A LOVE BIRDS BOOKEND IN BEAUTIFUL MATTE AQUA COLOR AND HAS THE OVERLAPPING NM MARK. THE MOLD DETAIL IS CRISP, CLEAR, AND VERY DETAILED. PERHAPS YOU HAVE A SINGLE BOOKEND TO MATCH OR JUST WISH TO USE FOR DISPLAY AS I HAVE.

#3766 – MCCOY POTTERY – BOWERY SAVINGS BANK - $68.00

EXCELLENT CONDITION MCCOY BANK PRODUCED FOR BOWERY SAVINGS BANK! SHAPED LIKE A MONEY CHEST, THE BANK IS A REPLICA OF THE FIRST MONEY CHEST OF 1834 AND IS SO NOTED ON BOTTOM OF BANK. MEASURES 6 1/8” LONG, 3 ¾” WIDE, AND 3” TALL. IT IS IN WONDERFUL CONDITION – EVEN HAS THE ORIGINAL METAL “STOPPER”. SUPER ITEM THAT IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT TO FIND!

~~#3720 – MCCOY POTTERY – SANTA COOKIE JAR / BANK~~ SOLD

CUTE ITEM FROM MCCOY’S HOLIDAY LINE – A SANTA COMBINATION COOKIE JAR AND BANK! THIS IS A MCCOY LIMITED PRODUCTION AND BOTTOM IS SO MARKED. COOKIE JAR (BOTTOM PORTION) IS IN WONDERFUL CONDITION. IT HAS A FEW TEENY FLEA BITES ON INTERIOR RIM EDGE BUT HAS NO CHIPS OR CRACKS. SANTA DOES HAVE A PRODUCTION “BLEMISH” ON HIS NOSE – IT’S A SMALL ROUND CIRCLE THAT DIDN’T RECEIVE COLOR OR GLAZE OR COULD BE A BUBBLE THAT POPPED – IT’S AN INTERESTING MCFLAW. THE BANK LID (HAT PORTION) HAS NO DINGS, CHIPS OR CRACKS BUT DOES HAVE SOME PAINT LOSS WHICH IS NOT UNUSUAL WITH COLD PAINT. THERE ARE SOME TEENY FLECKS OF MISSING RED AND THERE IS ANOTHER, LARGER PLACE THAT HAS BEEN COLOR TOUCHED-UP. THIS IS NOT DAMAGE OR REPAIR COVER UP – JUST A TOUCH-UP TO THE PAINT LOSS THAT COULD PROBABLY BE RE-DONE A LITTLE BETTER OR SIMPLY ENJOYED AS IS. THIS IS A VERY COLLECTIBLE ITEM AND SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT TO FIND!

#3241 – MCCOY POTTERY – SAILOR BANK - $30.00

THIS LISTING HAS AN UNMARKED MCCOY SAILOR BANK THAT WAS PRODUCED AS A PREMIUM GIVE-AWAY FOR SEAMAN’S BANK! IT HAS EXCELLENT COLOR AND MOLD DETAIL BUT IT HAS “USE” EVIDENCE. THE HAT BRIM HAS A TINY GLAZE DING, THERE IS ANOTHER AT THE COIN SLOT, AND THE BASE HAS SUSTAINED A DING WITH RESULTING ½” HAIRLINE AND A CRAZE MARK. THERE IS SOME CRAZING AT FRONT BOTTOM BASE AND IT IS MISSING THE METAL STOPPER. MY DESCRIPTION SOUNDS WORSE THAN IT ACTUALLY IS – PLEASE VIEW THE PHOTOS – HOWEVER, THE BANK IS LESS THAN PERFECT AND HAS BEEN PRICED ACCORDINGLY.

#2318 - McCOY POTTERY -- ZANESVILLE BI-CENTENNIAL BANK - $90.00

THIS IS ONE IN A SERIES OF 4 BANKS ISSUED BY NELSON AND BILLIE MCCOY TO RECOGNIZE THE 200th BIRTHDAY OF ZANESVILLE AND MUSKINGUM COUNTY! EACH BANK WAS A LIMITED PRODUCTION. THIS ONE IS A PRETTY BURGUNDY/MAUVE COLOR WHICH WAS THE LAST COLOR ISSUED IN THE SERIES. FOR WHATEVER REASON (ALL I COULD FIND IS SOME COLOR VARIATION!), THIS BANK WAS A "SECOND" AND AS SUCH, IT WAS NOT ISSUED A NUMBER. IT IS IN MINT, NEW CONDITION AND IS IN THE ORIGINAL BOX. A BEAUTIFUL BANK AND A WONDERFUL COLLECTIBLE ITEM BY THE MCCOY'S!

#1582 - McCOY POTTERY -- SAILOR BANK (SEAMEN'S BANK FOR SAVINGS) - $68.00

THIS IS NOT THE USUAL MCCOY SAILOR BANK! THIS IS AN OBVIOUS FACTORY SECOND/REJECT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN HOME AT END OF THE DAY -- WHICH IN ITSELF ADDS TO ITS COLLECTIBLE STATUS! BANK HAS NO STRUCTURAL FLAWS, THEY ARE ALL COSMETIC. THE GLAZE IS AN OFF-WHITE, CREAM COLOR (FIRST FIRING), DOESN'T HAVE THE FINAL WHITE COLOR. THERE ARE GLAZE RUNS AND SOME BLACK PAINT FLECKS & SPECKS UNDER THE GLAZE. THERE ARE TWO GLAZE RUBS AT BASE (PANT LEG). ON THE PLUS SIDE, FACIAL FEATURES ARE CLEAR AND WELL DONE, IT IS OBVIOUSLY MCCOY -- NOT AN IMITATION -- AND I'M SURE THERE AREN'T MANY OF THESE TO BE FOUND! INTERESTING ITEM.

#1563 - McCOY POTTERY -- SAILOR BANK (SEAMEN'S BANK FOR SAVINGS) - $100.00

I THINK THESE MCCOY SAILOR BANKS ARE SO NEAT -- I HAVE SEVERAL IN MY COLLECTION! THIS ONE IS SUPER NICE, HAS EXCELLENT DETAIL AND COLORING. HAS NO CHIPS, NO CRACKS, ONLY MINOR CRAZING. HAS A SMALL GLAZE RUB ON BOTTOM (CLOSE TO HIS FOOT) THAT I BELIEVE IS PRODUCTION AND A SMALL SPOT OF BLACK PAINT ON BOTTOM OF DUFFLE THAT IS DEFINITELY PRODUCTION. IS MISSING HIS METAL STOPPER BUT HAS NO "USE" DAMAGE! NICE COLLECTOR ITEM.

I HAVE HAD ONE OF THESE BANKS IN MY COLLECTION FOR SEVERAL YEARS -- THIS ONE IS NICER THAN MINE!
