McCormick Teapots
McCormick teapots are becoming more and more collectable. These well made tea pots are easy to identify and there are some terrific colours and styles that were made over the years.

The first McCormick Hall teapots were in a Dark Brown (similar to a brown betty teapot). Most of the teapots were marked with caster (tradesman) identification on the bottom or foot of the teapot. At one time, numbers were stamped in gold indicating color and decoration in case a teapot top replacement was needed.
As the McCormick Hall teapot went out of production just 20+ years ago, you can find some great examples of these beautiful teapots available today.
There were several styles and colors made over the years including those that included a strainer - infuser for loose leaf teas.
There is an awesome book available for those that are truly interested in collecting Halls Teapots. You can buy it on the right. As well as a general tea pot collectors guide that is terrific for hunting out tea pot collector bargains.
McCormick Collectables
These are one of my favorite collectable teapots, and you can still pick them up for a reasonable price. Expect to pay anywhere from $10 (awesome deal - buy it right away!!) through to $75 for rare editions. Look for unique colours, no chips or cracks and the stamp must be on the bottom of the teapot. You can also find McCormick tea tins and boxes that are nice collectables too.
You can find the McCormick collectable teapots in local thrift stores, at garage sales and estate sales. Online the best place to hunt these beauties down is ebay. Here is what is being auctioned at the moment.
