Miscellaneous Notes
*Dick Tracy was made For the Chicago Tribune, but there was a disagreement on how to advertise the jar and in the end only a few were produced. Prototypes were also made of Flatop and Gravel Gerty.
**Don Winton told JD he considered the Brush Cow one of his best of all in cookie jars, and loved it when JD made hm a Blue cow for his personal collection.
***JD made the NASCAR piece with intentions of licensing it through NASCAR. He made six prototypes, but wound up not submitting for approval. This would be an expensive jar in the $350. range, as takes seven different molds to create the jar. JD told me Probably best jar I have made.
