Vallona Starr Winky Collector Cookie Jar
Vallona Starr: Winky Collector Cookie Jar. This is one of my favorite jars & one of the “holy grails” of cookie jar collecting! This jar is flawless, no chips or cracks. Most likely was never used since it has no cookie grease/stains inside. Minimal crazing. This jar has some of the best colors for this particular style that I have ever seen. Just love the orange against the sun-burst yellow tones and lots of it! Most jars barely have the cheeks in orange. Great jar, great color, great for any beginner or advanced collector of jars. Bottom appropriately singed “Vallona Starr, Copyright ‘52, 301, California” This jar believe it or not is now 59 years old! Still an all time favorite jar for collectors of all levels. A must for any collection! To clean these jars safely, we highly suggest that you purchase one of our cleaning cloths listed under the “HANDCRAFTED TEXTILES AND POTTERY LINK NEAR THE TOP OF THE HOME PAGE. They’re only $6.99 and crafted entirely by hand. These are soft cloths that will not scratch the surfaces esp for the cold painted jars. If purchased with a jar, there will be no additional shipping fees. If you are so charged for shipping this will be refunded to you if you have purchased one with one of our jars. There is a photo available of an example of these great cleaning cloths at that link mentioned within the site.

The Bobb Merrill Co. Inc. Raggedy Andy Collector Cookie Jar
The Bobb Merrill Co. Inc.: Raggedy Andy? I believe this is Raggedy Andy since the hat is a hat, not the hair with the bow for the lid. The two jars, Raggedy Anne & Andy are pretty close with this manufacturer. Almost impossible to tell apart with the exception of the lids. Nice condition, no chips or cracks just some craze lines that show more on the underside than they do anywhere else, however, the hat has a couple of spots where it discolored from age, areas are circled in the photos. They are not badly discolored, just show a bit darker than the rest of the hat Also a couple of manufacturer flaws in the rim of the hat, too, slight indentations that are glazed over. Colors are vivid. This is a bright jar. Bottom shows numbers associated with the manufacturer although they are not all there….visible in the photo. Hat “finial” shows a daisy and a cookie. Cute jar, would make for a nice item in baby’s room for display. Book values this jar at around $200.

Certified International Corp, “Coco Dowley” Dalmatian CJ. The original price tags are still on the uderstide of the jar showing price reductions!

Teddy Bear Cookie Jar ~Unknown Maker~ Collector Cookie Jar
Unknown Maker: This Teddy bear CJ looks like a cuddly stuffed toy that you could hold and play with, doesn’t he? Has great detail and color. He is listed in most books as an unknown maker with a reasonably good value. He doesn’t come with a special manufacturer’s name but that doesn’t take away from the fact that he’s still a great looking jar. I like his purple sweater with “T” on the front. “T” for Teddy? Nice jar with a high gloss finish. No chips, no cracks, just a very clean, nice jar!

ET Collector Cookie Jar
Maker Unknown: ET…we’ve entered the age of plastic! Alas this strange fellow is made of hard plastic. This jar was one of the first incarnations of the ET alien image shortly after the movie came out. When he was not being used as a cookie jar, he doubled as a “handbag” for Halloween trick or treat. There was a handle on the back of him that’s what those two holes are for. He’s in perfect condition. No cracks. He doesn’t chip since he’s plastic. So, here he is, ET for your collection…….believe it or not, a difficult jar to find. Most of these ended up in the trash after the child beat them to death. An adjustment might be made after shipping fees are calculated since this jar is rather light. Please remind me of this matter after you buy the jar.
