Plenty of Finds Last Week!

I can't believe how much Pyrex was out there this week and I certainly picked up my share!  I'm not the only one buying it--everything I saw on one day was gone the next!  Apparently I missed a day that had "a lot of different colored bowls" the cashier told me.  Ouch!  That was hard to hear!  Well, here is what I did score.

I found these all on one day.  I do have the Cinderella bowls, but I got these to trade or sell.  I really wanted the butter dish and I finally got one!  I'm actively looking for opal white Pyrex now, I found this unmarked 401.  I washed and put this away and then two days later I got the following:

This was all from one store on the same day.  I was there the day before and it must have been put out later that day or the next morning.  The primaries I got for the lids, the paint on them isn't in very good shape.  Lids are hard to come by so I have to get them when I can.  The Butterprint completes a second fridgie set.  I collect Verdé with the berries/olives except I don't care for the handled/spouted bowls, so I don't pick them up.  I have the 475 casserole with a clear lid, I had to buy this one as it has the opal lid and the casserole dish is minty.  The Verdé 473 I have, but this one, again, very minty.  I got the opal lid a couple days later--forgot to photograph it.  And the most exciting find is the Verdé 501 fridgie!  I have the 503 and 502. I have seen the 501s in vintage/antique shops for $9 and $10 and I refuse to pay that much for one fridgie.  Patience pays off!

Four more days of thrifting and a couple of sales and I got my second Verdé 501 fridgie.  Another fridgie set completed.  I was thrilled.  I got the first piece of this fridgie set, the 502, in summer of 2012!  I am happy to get the Spices promotional and it was a steal, I'll pair this up with my Sandalwood pieces and opal whites.  Last stop at the thrifts today hubby was digging in a cart yet to be unloaded and spied this black gooseberry 442!  He was pretty proud of himself. I'm up to two 443s and one 442.

I went to some antique shops out of town today.  There was a lot of Pyrex.  The first place I went  it was really over priced.  There were a few nice things, a pink Daisy 945 for $38!  Nope, can't touch that.  We went to another place that has changed and is really nice now with multiple vendors and there was a lot of nice Pyrex that was still priced high, but not as crazy as other places.  I walked away with a couple pieces that I wanted most and was able to get them at a lower than asking price.

I have been sitting on the 043 Horizon Blue lid for about 6 months and today I found a bottom for it.  I shouldn't have, but I also took this golden scroll open baker promotional for $12. Paint is great on both of these and the gold scroll is in very nice condition.  I have enough Horizon Blue pieces now that I can do a display on my peninsula--yay!

There was a lot of Autumn Harvest and Old Orchard as well.  I would have picked up fridgies in those, but there were none to be found.  I won't be going as much next week, so perhaps this week is making up for it! Hope other Pyrexers have good luck and post next week!!  I will need to get my fix vicariously!!!

I posted some of my other vintage finds on my blog here if you'd like to see!
