Thank you for making this easy link to the catalogs. I am currently lost in the 1961 Northwestern Bottle Catalog. I see my melamine dishes, lustroware, milkglass cakeplates and so much more. This is so fun!

I was looking at the 1921 Canada catalog and noticed about 4 pages down that it showed iridescent Pyrex. Is this the "Fry" Pyrex I have been reading about? I wonder if it has uranium in it to give it that special glow?
I am tempted to buy a piece and stick it under the black light to see if it glows like my uranium glass.

It's just a surface treatment, like carnival glass, that gives the glass a rainbow sheen that changes as you hold it at different angles. When I was in Corning last year, a lady brought in an oval dish to the library for identification.

1975 and 1976 Pyrex Ware catalogs have been added to the list.

This is pretty much how I act when I get my hands on a new catalog. Thanks for sharing.
