Are these cups McCoy? The reason I ask is that many McCoy items I have and have seen are just marked USA, but then some are also marked with the McCoy along with the USA. These cups were found many, many years ago at a flea market due to the fact that I have a huge fondness for demitasse cups.
Thank you.

McCoy had a lot of different markings but I'm not sure that I have seen a genuine McCoy with just USA but I am diffidently not an expert so do not go by this.
Here is a link to some markings:

This is a really great site for all kinds of information:

For me - this is the best forum to ask your questions (not value).

Thank you so very much for your information. I don't really need to know their worth but that's the option they give you in the pull down menu so I had to choose it. I'm still not really computer savvy in knowing about these forums and such - like, can I just bust in or do I need to be invited - silly things like that?
I know how you feel and that is the reason I never mention value as you already know the 'value' that is important to you.
The forums are easy - just join - all are free and these nice people will help you with posting and adding pictures and value is of no interest to most of them.
You have brought tears to my eyes! You do understand - thank you so very much for that. Does make me feel like all of this rambling does sometimes make some sense then. LOL. You're so very kind to think of me and make me feel relief, comfort, and some of those memories tugging at the back of my brain. You've made me feel loads better about the forums also because I was a little scared.
You are very welcome.
Do not be concerned about what you know or do not know or 'what' memories are made of as each individual has their own way of handling those memories and you have chosen a good way so just smile when you glance across the room, see one of those 'items' and catch a glimpse of a happy time remembered.
You're such a caring, compassionate, young lady and I thank you from the very depths of my soul for your kind words and loving thoughts sent across the miles through these trying times. You've made a believer of me again and I hopefully can return this angelic favor to you one day soon!!! Cindy
Young lady?
Now 87 but still young in heart and have lots of good memories that push away the bad. Think good thoughts and always smile - even enjoy laughing sometimes.

Thanks for the additional pix! That was helpful. I think, not 100%, but pretty sure these are Homer Laughlin pieces. Maybe from a restaurant line in the 1940-1950s.
The HL and McCoy are often mixed up. There are several Homer Laughlin groups on Facebook and a few folks there specialize in the restaurantware type pieces. I would ask to join and follow their posting rules. It's all about the handles and these are inline with the HL vs McCoy.
Post back what you learn. These are great pieces no matter who made them and that they have sentimental value is the best!!
Can you please show the handles? And all the markings? Thanks!
I certainly can. Let me take a few more pictures, upload them, and hopefully they'll help you. I appreciate your time and effort hon! Thank you so very much.
This site will teach you how to read McCoy pieces with a better understanding - www.tgldirect.com/
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to answer my question on my cups. Like I had stated earlier, I really didn't know where to start and everyone of y'all have been so great to give me such wonderful direction! I do so appreciate you. Thanks again for your contribution to my cause!!! LOL. Cindy Daigle
