Great-Grandma's McCoy Teapot Set

I have to show this off. It says McCoy on the bottom. Mom tucked a note inside to say it was a present from her step-grandmother on Mom's wedding day (July 28, 1943). Great-Grandma told Mom "Sometimes getting something old is better than getting something new."  [My apologies. Somewhere in the either my photo got lost and I have borrowed one from the internet.]

It may have been a collectible even then. I'm guessing it was made in the 1930s, but I have no idea about it's value as a tea set.

I'm getting quite a collection of teapots by accident. I like to drink tea and I like teapots. Now that I've inherited Mom's things and Grandma Bethell's things that Mom had and some of Grandma Hull's things. Well, like I said, I'm getting quite a collection of teapots. 

The McCoy is one of the more interesting ones in the collection.

New Note: a McCoy collector, Dewayne Imsand, gave me some background on my teapot. He tells me this:

What you have is a tea pot set that was made by the Nelson McCoy Pottery and issued in 1942. It is called "Daisy Tea Pot." The primary color that this tea pot was issued in is a brown-green combination. Your pink and green is also a production color, but somewhat more uncommon.

In good condition its value is around $100.00 to $125.00.

Thanks, Dewayne! Guess I'll take better care of it. I don't have very many $100 teapots.
(I actually gave the teapot set to my sister-in-law who loved it. It resides in a place of honor in their living room.)
