Lovely colors on this McCoy lily wall pocket! It’s pale yellow with soft green color leaves and marked McCoy, Made in USA.

Wall pocket is in excellent condition -- it has 3 small areas of crazing (2 on back, 1 on front) and they are not detrimental in any way! It has a few production McFlaws – non-glaze, etc. – again, not detrimental.

Super addition to a collection!

This souvenir hanky is not perfect but I am listing it because of its rarity – Salt Lake City souvenir handkerchiefs are very difficult to find! This one is silk and measures 10 ¾” x 11”. It has a thread pull that be seen in photo and a tiny hole/separation at the bottom of the “L”. This is in a crease/fold line and it probably occurred due to age and being folded in the same manner for many years. The colors are bright and this hanky would be lovely framed for display!

This listing has very nice Shawnee salt and pepper shakers -- they are the range size shakers (5 ¼” tall) and are from the Sunflower line of the late 1940’s!

Shakers are marked USA and are in very good condition – the pepper has some discoloration at the top (not unusual) and there is some discoloration at the base edge on both shakers (again, not unusual when kept near a heat source).

Both shakers are marked USA and they do not have stoppers.

I have some new food g...

This listing has a very nice McCoy vase!

Made in 1941, vase measures 5 ½” tall and bottom is marked Made in USA, McCoy.

Vase is in a pretty peach color and is in wonderful condition with no “use” evidence. It has a non-color/glaze on one side and a 1/8” closed stress on rim – both are production McFlaws and are of no consequence.

This is indeed a find – a hanging basket planter from McCoy’s butterfly line of the early 1940s!

Although produced as a hanging planter, it is also free-standing.

Planter photos may appear pink (depending on your monitor) but it is actually a lovely pale lilac color (listed as lavender in reference books). It measures 4 1/8” tall, 6 3/8” diameter, and bottom is marked NM, USA.

It is in excellent condition for its age with a few typical McFlaws -- production pin-pop...

This is a super item that is not only very collectible but is very usable – it’s a handkerchief edgings book (15 pages) with a copyright date of 1949 and it’s a first edition!

Some of the page headings are so cute – “Blow and Behold”, “Right on the Nose”, and (my favorite) “Will You be Mine?, Dainty edgings with come-hither ways”.

Very good condition.

There are patterns/instructions for tatted boutonnieres, refreshment and luncheon sets, doilies, col...

This listing has a McCoy flower blossom wall pocket in a gorgeous peach color!

Produced in 1945, measures 5 ¾” tall, and is in super condition.

There are no chips, dings, or cracks – the only “use” evidence is very faint (barely there) remnant of writing on bottom – not detracting in any way!
