McCoy Pottery Company authentic, as well as marks, are shown on "fake" McCoy items. Feel free to submit a McCoy mark for the gallery.

This is the mark on the very rare McCoy Clown in Barrel cookie jar. Only three are known to exist, but sample runs normally consisted of six jars. So the question is, are there more out there?

Picture of the jar and sold price.
