McCoy Limited didn't include many cookie jars. The catalog sheet shows the Christmas Bell which is 9" tall. This truly was a limited production.

I've only known of three of these jars although I'm sure there may be a few more. This one is decorated with holiday wreath decals, three around the jar.

The accompanying Candy jar, also a bell, is 6" tall and has a holiday holly motif. Both of these items are marked "McCoy Ltd". According to Billies note on the smaller bell it was a sample and not produced

The McCoy Limited Santa cookie jar serves a double purpose.

The lid has a slot in it for coins...the bottom has a plastic stopper, so the cookie jar is a bank, too.

To the tip of the hat, the Santa jar is 10 l/2" tall. It is marked McCoy Ltd.

The Snowman shown here is 7 l/2" tall. His hatband and scarf are hand decorated. It does not show a mark. Also included in this photo is the Christmas Duck minus his holiday scarf. It is ll l/2" tall and is marked McCoy Ltd.

Shown here are the "Bells for All Seasons" by McCoy Limited. These are: The Snowman, The Reindeer and Santa Claus. Each are marked by hand with a marker on the inside.

The Snowman has 'brrr", the Reindeer has "Happy" and of course, Santa has "Merry" written inside. The Snowman, M-101, is 6 l/2" x 3 3/4". The Reindeer, M-102 is 7 l/2" x 3 3/4" and Santa, M103 is 6" x 3 3/4".

Pumpkin (Jack-O-Lantern) bell, M-100 and the M-106 Turkey.

The Pumpkin bell is marked (Can you guess?) BOO! and is 6" x 3 l/2". The turkey, M-106, is marked "Gobble!" and is 6 l/2" x 3 l/2".

These two are my favorites!

Here we have the Rabbit Bell , M-104 and the Heart ( Bear) Bell, M-105. The Rabbit measures 6" x 3 3/4" and is marked "Hip Hop" on the underside and the Bear with Heart on it's chest is marked "Love". These are precious!

All of these bells were on a single catalog sheet and were packed individually, l2 assorted to a master carton. The sold for $5.25 each. What a Bargain!

McCoy Limited also featured Santas in "Scarf People", (the one on the left in the photo). The first one in the photo is a decorated version of the Scarf Santa (minus his scarf). The two Santas in the middle are Voltives. Cut-outs in the clay allow for the light to show when set over a candle. The Scarf Santas are 6 l/x"x 3 3/4" and the Voltive Santas are 7 x 4". These items are not marked McCoy Limited or with marks like the bells.

128M Angel ( Caroler) and the 14 M Church. The singing Angel measures 8 x 4 l/4" and is unmarked.

She came with a Scarf, too. The Church, unlike the others in this issue IS marked "McCoy Ltd, USA" on the lower back wall. It is 8 l/2" x 4".

The large snowman is McCoy Ltd standing beside a much smaller McCoy snowman planter.

Below: Pieces from the 'McLights" line of McCoy Limited included this paper (front and back) that was packed in each of the factory boxes. These are the instructions.
