Need answer on McCoy pottery Frog's

Hello everybody...this is my small collection of McCoy garden/lawn frog's&one turtle as seen.question is-i've seen these recently in a NEW book on mccoy&said that these frogs are from the 60's!(i've been collecting pottery for yrs.mainly Roseville)and have seen them in older books and they stated made in the 1940's(which i tend to agree with)and the turtle being"Rare",no matter what age(and rarity/turtle)they are i love them!!! but still would like to know exact era of these frog's...any help will be greatly appreciated,Thanks for looking!
OH,and the turtle has a number stamped into it as the FROGS do not!

Date depends on what the mark looks like

One other note (I can't find my McCoy book) is that most of the McCoy frogs were planters. The early McCoy figural frogs were made by Brush McCoy which I believe went out of business in 1925, most of these weren't marked except for USA or a number...Hope all thats right, still looking for my book ;D
