$68.00 McCoy Sailor Bank
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. 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! A very interesting item.
