It's been a REALLY long time since I've written. I had to share with you what I found today and ask for help in identifying. Today I stumbled on an Sr. Citizen neighborhood yard sale. It was so fun to mill around and chat with the people. It was like a social even for them. One of my favorite parts of sales is talking to the people and getting the history of items.
Imagine my surprise when I spotted these on a long table in the carport of an adorable 80 something lady's yard.
The sweet lady told me that she won this set at bingo years ago. I inquired about the lids...I have NEVER seen these metal lids that fit on the top like this. She said it was great for making jello in and transporting it because of the lids. Sure enough, the lids say Pyrex on them. I know that these are Daisy Space Savers, I just wondered if anyone knows if this is always how they came with this lid, or is this some special promotional?
PS I'll bet you are wondering how much she charged me for the set? TEN WHOLE DOLLARS!!!!!! It made my day.

PSS Answered my own question! It was a promo set...it also had a black wire cradle with it! http://www.pyrexlove.com/pink-daisy-oblong-space-saver-casseroles-series-548-575/glassware/
Great find. I have seen a lot of different Pyrex, but never with lids like this.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't either! At first I thought she just added the lids
DeleteI've seen new in box of snowflakes that had one glass lid and one metal. I'll have to go read the link you provided. Great score Stacy!

the metal lids are actually super cool! that was what makes them space savers for the freezer. Back in the day you would put the metal lid on and then use freezer tape around the lid and you cuold store a casserole in your freezer for months! they didn't use the glass lids while storing the dish though. Pretty cool find!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Pyrex passion book is the only place I've seen the originally ad that shows what the metal lids are for, unfortunately its not on the internet like anywhere!
