#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.

#2671 - McCOY POTTERY -- "HUNG OVER" DOG BANK/DRESSER ACCESSORY - $58.00

MCCOY PRODUCED SEVERAL VERY PRETTY ITEMS FOR SWANK -- THIS BANK IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE! VERY COLORFUL WITH EXCELLENT DETAIL, THIS IS THE "HUNG OVER" DOG BANK. MISTER DOG HAS OBVIOUSLY INDULGED A LITTLE TOO MUCH AND IS "WEARING" A WATER BOTTLE ON HIS HEAD TO EASE HIS HEADACHE BUT HE DIDN'T GET FAR FROM THE SOURCE OF HIS MALADY! HE'S LEANING AGAINST A NICE SIZE KEG THAT APPROPRIATELY HAS XXX ON THE FRONT (MUST HAVE BEEN MOONSHINE!). THE KEG IS THE BANK, BACK OF DOG IS OPEN TO HOLD A WALLET -- ATTRACTIVELY STYLED AND USEFUL MEN'S DRESSER ACCESSORY! IN WONDERFUL CONDITION, ALWAYS PAMPERED, DOG STILL HAS ORIGINAL COLD PAINT ACCENTS. THE ONLY "USE" EVIDENCE I COULD FIND IS A GLAZE BREAK ON BOTTOM AND STOPPER IS MISSING -- HAS A PRODUCTION BRUISE AT BASE OF DOG'S OPENING -- NOT DETRIMENTAL IN ANY WAY!

#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.

#1506 - McCOY POTTERY -- HUNG OVER DOG BANK (MADE FOR SWANK) - $68.00

AN EXCELLENT ADDITION TO YOUR MCCOY OR BANK COLLECTION! THIS IS THE HUNG OVER DOG BANK THAT MCCOY MADE FOR SWANK. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF RED PAINT LOSS, THIS BANK IS IN MINT CONDITION, EVEN HAS METAL STOPPER! THE BARREL IS THE BANK PART, BACK OF DOG IS OPEN TO HOLD WALLET, WATCH, ETC. I HAVE HAD ONE OF THESE BANKS IN MY COLLECTION FOR SEVERAL YEARS -- THIS ONE IS NICER THAN MINE!
