Pyrex Hunting Today

[Doug D.]

What year do you think that Verde was made? Do you think it is really old or do you think they recycled an old pattern to make it?

67-72 for Verde.

[Bonnie Scott]

Of all the different pieces of Pyrex you have found, and there are some beauties, that is the one I covet most. If I had that I would keep it for myself.

[Doug D.]

After some consideration, I guess the only thing this must be is the orange 402 from the New Multicolor Bowls set, albeit a well-used one. Sure looked pinkish when I bought it; must have been the poor lighting in the antique store basement. I tried a trick to rejuvenate the shine by rubbing it down with an extremely thin coat of mineral oil.

A quick trip around town, 4 stops in 2 hours. One yielded an Early American 063 divided dish (9.5/10). Another, a place I had seen a few pieces before that I thought were overpriced, had these at 50% off. I think they were the same ones I saw there months ago and had passed on.

Horizon Blue 442 & 443 (10/10)

[Bonnie Scott]

Those are nice. I have been scrolling back through old posts trying to determine if you had completed a set of blue horizon yet, you sure are getting close. It's a nice pattern, I found some Old town Blue D handle coffee cups about a month ago I think they look nice with the horizon.

Four days off and cabin fever sent me 25 miles up the road to a couple of places I've had success at in the past. First one had a Verde #400 set, but I was not inclined to pay the non-negotiable price of $45 plus tax, even though I rated it 9.5/10. I didn't need the 401 and 403, the 402 was badly in need of BKF, and the 404 had some small scratches.

At the second stop, I made a bee-line to the booth I knew would have some Pyrex. I was not disappointed.

Butterprint 473, 441, 444. Spring Blossom Green 1 472. All 9.9/10 or better.

[Bonnie Scott]

That was a really nice score. I keep waiting for you to back that camera up and give us a picture of the whole shelf. I bet your collection looks pretty impressive.

[Doug D.]

That's not the shelf, that's the dining room table.

Closer to a full 440 set of Turquoise Butterprint.

444 and 443 (10/10)

Yes, I already had a 444, but, you know...

[Doug D.]

Two complete sets NIB. NFS.
