Friar Tuck cookie Jar
Question:
Hello, I have a Red Wing blue monk cookie jar that says "Thou Shalt Not Steal" on it. It has the Red Wing mark on the bottom. This was my grandmother’s cookie jar; she died in 1956. I am curious as to what this piece, which is in perfect condition, is worth. There are patent numbers on the bottom of the piece. I can’t read the beginnings of the numbers, but one number ends in 30328. I believe the other numbers end in 329 and 330. I would really appreciate your expert opinion as to its value. Thank you so much! Sincerely, Christine
