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 and this one is a pretty burgundy/mauve color which was the last color issued in the series. For whatever reason, this bank was labeled as a "second" and as such, it was not issued a number...
I thought about "parting out" this Shawnee cookie jar/bank -- this is a Winnie top with a Smiley bottom! They are difficult to find items, they fit together well, I purchased them together so I'm selling them together -- perhaps you need a top or a bottom and can resell the other piece -- or just enjoy as is!
Colors are beautiful and both pieces are in great condition...

Very neat clear glass bank! It measures 7 1/4" tall and has wonderful details -- he's a clown!
Metal cap has a clown face and has a slot (his mouth) with a paper liner that can be slit so that it becomes a coin slot.
Top of lid has "Grapette family beverage syrup", around side of lid has "Grapette Products Company, Camden, Ark". Jar is marked on bottom: Grapette Products Co., 4, Camden, Ark...

This is not the usual McCoy sailor bank! This is a company second 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.
I have seen these referred to as “blanks” but this one has first firing glaze.The glaze is an off-white, cream color (first firing), doesn't have the final white color glaze.
There are glaze runs and some black paint flecks & specks under the glaze...

An excellent addition to your McCoy or bank collection! This is the hung over dog bank that McCoy made for Swank. The barrel is the coin bank; back of dog is open to hold wallet, watch, etc.
With the exception of a very small amount of red paint loss, this bank is in mint condition, even has metal stopper! I have had one of these banks in my collection for several years -- this one is nicer than mine!

This is McCoy's elusive cookie bank/cookie jar! It is a beautiful jar that was made in 1961. Measures 6 3/4" tall (from bottom to tallest part), 9" long, and 5 1/2" wide (at base).
This is a combination coin bank and cookie jar. The lid has a slot for coins (the rubber stopper is missing, however, I have a number of new stoppers and if one fits, I will include at no charge).
Jar is marked: McCoy, USA. It has exceptional color and mold detail...

This is a really neat "Big Boy" bank that has been much pampered! It measures 9" tall, has no evidence of "use" other than a 3/16" scuff on back of his head. Colors are bright and unmarred.
Bottom of one foot has: "complies with U.S. regulations, made in Hong Kong". The other foot has: "a product of Big Boy Restaurants of America", (copyright symbol) "Marriott Corp. 1973".
