Question:
We have an old cookie jar that has been in my husband’s family for at least 60 years. They always called "him" Mr. Cookie. Could be a family nick name or something from the manufacturer. The bottom is stamped with Red Wing USA and has a printed script of Red Wing USA with additional undistinguishable writing.
Hip to hip(his widest area) is 8.5". the base is 6.5" high, with the top on he is 11.25" high at the top of his baker’s hat.He is in perfect condition…no chips, no fading, no discoloration. His caramel colored glaze is smooth, no crazing. The accent touches on his face, hat, watchchain, feet are darker brown. The interior is also in perfect shape…and smells faintly of the chocolate chip cookies he was known to store. Any information you can provide about Mr Cookie would be appreciated. I also understand that this is Christmas week and I don’t expect a quick reply. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
