COW OVER THE MOON FLASHER COLLECTOR COOKIE JAR by AMERICAN BISQUE (ABC)

Description

Hi, thank you for shopping buy! HTF / RARE JAR! Here we offer the Cow Over the Moon Flasher collector cookie jar! This jar is so hard to find in any condition! Its the most sought after of all the flasher jars that American Bisque produced & the most beautiful. Marked near the bottom on the backside #806. He also displays American Bisque’s signature pad feet. This one comes to you without any damage; no chips, no cracks, no hairlines. There are a couple of spots, one on the edge of the rim and one on the underside that look like chips perhaps in the photos, however, they are NOT, but rather just manufacture “defects” as most of these old jars have. The flasher works as well as it should. The only “defect” is that this jar has seen use and there is a bit of cookie grease that has leached into the jar bottom. This is visible in the photos. This does not effect the value but in fact does add a bit of authenticity to the jar since for the grease to leach into the jar it does take a lot of time. These jars were incredibly heavy when you compare them to modern jars. I’ve dropped them on the floor and they haven’t broken, not that I would suggest that you test that out. The artwork on this jar is outstanding and one reason  why its the most popular of the flasher series that ABC created. Rockets, flying saucers and the moo cow all flying over the farmer’s house below and the cow is jumping over the moon! These jars were also referred to as “Vari Vue” or “Pan Eye Matic” for the flasher. Considering the condition and rarity of this jar, this is a steal at this price considering that book value is up there around $1500! The holidays are coming and this would make a fine gift! Shipping costs are getting higher all the time…this shipping cost includes insurance which in itself is rather expensive.
