It's Thursday and time for Vintage Thingie Thursday again, I'd like to thank Suzanne for hosting this for us.. Visit Suzanne, Coloradolady to see more Vintage Thingies Thursday
First let me say my heart is breaking...sigh...we were not home when my bowls went off. I was still debating weather to bid or not when we left and just knew we'd be home before it went off...wrong...Guess it wasn't meant for me to have them.
Today, I've got a few more Hall's items to share, they are Westinghouse refrigerator bowls from the 50's.
The first one is a yellow bowl that didn't have the lid. I found it at a small booth on the longest yard sale somewhere near Kentucky-Ohio line. It was just sitting on a table with .75 cents on it. I just eased over and picked it up and gave the lady my money. Then finished looking at rest of stuff...well, I didn't want her to see how excited I was..lol
The second one I found in Harrison, Arkansas is the solid yellow one. and it cost I believe about $6.00 The third and my favorite one is the blue bowl with yellow lid. I found this one on EBay and paid &10.00 + shipping. I use these all the time, they are not for looks only.
This is what is stamped on both yellow bowls. I believe the one without a lid would have been a match to the other yellow set.
What fabulous deals! These are really neat!
ReplyDeleteI think it is neat that you use them!
I really like these..I use a lot of my vintage things as well..but always wish I had even more..:)
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I love their colors. I'm like you. I actually use my vintage stuff (unless it's unsafe). Just tonight I used 3 pieces of my vintage corningware and pyrex to :0)
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous..my fav is the yellow one with the chunky handled lid :)
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds. I use a lot of my vintage items, too.
ReplyDeleteI posted 5 giveaways yesterday. Check them out if you are stopping by for VTT. Deadline is Friday.
Doesn't it make you feel good when you get a deal??? I bought a BIG ENAMEL COOK POT at a flea market with a lid and a smaller pot inside for $3.00!!!!!!!! WOOHOOO. Yesterday I got vintage pillowcases at the local thrift store for .79 cents a piece!!!!!!! GOTTA LOVE IT, and your treasures are just that treasures. Glad you shared them.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful finds. I love the colors and what great prices...that is the best part! Finding a bargain!
ReplyDeleteHey...My Noni had those...what a great vintage treasure! I am so glad to see you use them, you are a true treasure hunter!
ReplyDeleteMolly, so sorry you missed those bowls. LOVE the refrigerator dishes. Have a few of my own. =)
ReplyDeleteLove the colors! What great items!
ReplyDeleteI love those bowls too. I would use them every day too. Your son on your last post is so cute. I knopw you are proud of him and his wife. I have to tell you - our oldest son graduated in 1998 too, he and his wife (Brandon & Julie) have been married 2 years. You can see their wedding picture on my side bar or go to my other blog http://mominthewilderness.blogspot.com . We are always coming up with things in common.
ReplyDeleteI grew up using these for leftovers--my mother had many. Love the blue and yellow colors.
ReplyDeleteI think those refrigerator storage containers are the cat's meow! My mother had some, but not so pretty, they had ridged clear glass tops. I love the yellow and blue, what lovely shades. WISH you could have gotten those Hall's mixing bowls, maybe the next set you find on Ebay will be even less in price and you can grab them!!! I did have that happen with an item once -- got it for 1/2 of what the one I "missed" went for!!!
ReplyDeleteI love those! I need to visit ebay one day soon!
ReplyDeleteI love the lids on those, so cute. 50's kitchen wear are just adorable aren't they? And when you can pick them up at less then a 1.00 it's thrill isn't it.
ReplyDeleteOh, these are wonderful-I love the styling, especially the one with handled lid! and the colors are so bright-really cheery looking!
ReplyDeleteOh those are gorgeous! We both found some cool things recently, haven't we? It's so much fun to discover little unexpected treasures..
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how things that were made and used so long ago aren't broken and still work. I collect McCoy and I think that Hall is one of the pottery companies, like Brush=McCoy that made things to last. These refrigerator containers were USED every day and they are still in great shape. They really did make things better then.
ReplyDeleteNice post!
