This week's find

Oct 29th, 2008 by admin | 0

This week my big finds were mostly vintage plates, and only two cookbooks.  I’ve been looking for a set of Buffalo China Green Crest dinner plates to go with my other Buffalo China Green Crest smaller plates, bowls & cups, but have yet to find any.  Monday I found a knock-off made by Sterling China.  Similar to the BC crest, yet its own design.  I ended up with six 10″ dinner plates and 6 coffee mugs.  A great score!  The other great score was a second vintage A. Sabella plate for my collection.  

(I also bought this plate on ebay, making that my third plate and 2nd in two days.)

I also got a vintage Dazey Seal-a-Meal, unused, in it’s box. The 70′s packaging design alone is worth the $5 I spent on it!  (Photos to come)

And while I showed great restraint in looking at vintage cookbooks, I did buy “For Variety Cook With Soup” by H.J. Heinz Co., (date unknown) and a “Mirro-matic Pressure Pan” recipe & directions booklet from 1958. Again, photos to follow, at some point.

If anyone has any A. Sabella plates like the one above, and you want to sell them… contact me!
