Circa: 1956
Manufacturer: The Brush-McCoy Pottery Co.
Vintage Brush McCoy Boxer dog wallpocket planter. A very hard to find item, dates to the 1950's. Good overall condition; just one very tight, small .5 inch hairline near backside upper rim, and some crazing, mainly on back and interior. He also has one tiny line of brown coloring near top rim, (this is under the glaze; paint that apparently did not blend right; only visible if looking down into planter part). It is 7.5 tall x 6.5 long. Incised 542 USA on back; and blue grease pen number 933. Hefty and great to hang on the wall! I'd run a bead of superglue on the hairline just to seal it forever. The hairline is very tight and on the back so I consider this flaw insignificant for pottery that is over 60 years old. It is shown in the BM book by Huxford. You may never come across this one again! 1/09troyantMC
