Aunt Jemima or Mammy Cookie Jar

Collectibles : Black Americana : Cookie Jars

 

This example is another fantasy item identified usually as either Aunt Jemima or Mammy. A new cast iron bank very similar to this cookie jar is available, as well.

Often the same item produced in cast iron form will also be made as a ceramic piece for a different collectible niche. The little boy on alligator ceramic piece listed in the shop as item #2007RP0007 is another example of this practice. He is also available in cast iron.

This is another item currently available for purchase from import wholesale suppliers for a few dollars. The price in this listing is the price at which it was being offered to a Ruby Lane buyer.

Ceramic type body. Unmarked and the dimensions are 12 inches tall by 7 1/2 inches wide.

Item ID: 2007RP00015
