Princess House Nouveau Cookware


We ran across some unique pieces in our travels.

Not knowing exactly what they were, we decided to purchase them anyway.

Come to find out, they are vintage pieces of Princess House cookware that were made back in the 1980's.

The Princess House Nouveau cookware is based on the traditional corning ware ceramic pieces that we are all familiar with.

They can be used on the stovetop, microwave, oven, freezer, and are dishwasher safe.

Their unique difference from the corning is the handy removable handle.

It is great when taking it from the microwave - just snap it on and no burnt fingers.

I was tempted to keep the set - they are just like new - and oh so versatile.

But since we are downsizing, I'll just stick to what I have been using for the last 30 years.

We are running each piece on Ebay over the next couple of weeks.

Be sure to check them out - they are unique and you don't see them around to often!

Rare Mrs Albee Award Glasses

 

We ran across this set of 12 stemware a while ago, and I have searched the internet and have not been able to find anything like them, anywhere.

They are an Avon award given to their members who had outstanding sales in the early 1970's.

From what I can gather, there were only six sets given out for the different regions across the country.

They feature Mrs Albee, the first Avon lady, dressed in all her finery of the late 1800's.

She is etched into the glass - the same design is on both the small and large glasses.

They are still in the original box that they arrived in back in the 1970's.

We have them listed on Ebay, and you can find the listing here.

They are a fine set of collectibles, and if you know anything about them, I would love to hear from you!

Old Sheet Music


We have several paper collectibles of vintage sheet music in our inventory.

They date back to the early 1900's.

They are in various states of condition, but considering their age, and the fact that they are paper, they are holding up well.

We have others that we haven't listed yet, so if you have any questions or interest, please let me know.
