LANE & CO - Key Persons

Job Titles:

• Author / Owner / WebMaster

My name is Tom Gilchrist and I live in Renton, WA near Seattle. I am a collector of Lane & Co cookie jars. I work at Boeing and am an Associate Technical Fellow in computer software for non-airborne software development (software to run the factory, not to fly planes). I am active in a number of hobbies including Garden Railroading, Ham Radio, Skiing in the Winter, etc. I have a home page you can visit if you're interested. I am not a dealer. I do purchase Lane jars from time to time. I don't collect other jars. I got started when I got an Indian cookie jar at a Christmas party "white elephant" gift exchange about 5 years ago. I liked it and put it in my family room. It stayed there for a couple of years and I gave it no thought. A friend saw it and said she thought it might be worth something. I did some research and found out about Lane & Co cookie jars and started to collect them. I now have about a dozen jars of either Lane & Co or Lane Ceramics. Please contact me if you have any information on the company or the jars. My email is tomg@tomgtomg.com.
