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.

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

McCoy made cookie jars and Brush made cookie jars, but it was after the two companies went their own ways.

  • The first Brush cookie jar, made in 1929, is pictured in The Complete Cookie Jar Book by Schneider
  • Ross and Don Winton designed many Brush cookie jars, their jars have a W in the markings.
  • 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.
  • A list of Brush jars that have been reproduced can be found on my Collectibles.About.com web site.  

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