Cookies Jar


This simple jar has become a very popular jar in recent years. Why? Because there were thousands of them made in the 50s/60s and many had one on their kitchen counter. So today people want that jar from their childhood. The jar was made by several different companies, this one was made in Japan. Los Angeles Pottery also made the jar. The differences are slight, values are similar.

Sunshine Cookies Jar



This jar was another mail-in premium. I believe the order price was $11.95. Not a fantastic jar, but good for the advertising collector.
