Cecilia met a “fellow traveler” of Bauer who was interested in selling her collection. There are plates, cups and saucers, bowls of various sizes, pitchers, teapots, platters, refrigerator dishes,  creamers and sugar bowls,  salt and pepper shakers, and you name it!  Come by and see the collection, much of which is in the 2006 book “Beautiful Bauer”.

During the month of September all toasters will be on sale. There are 30 unique designs representive of the 1920’s-1960’s.  Some are single-slice toasters, while others are designed to make more than one slice of toast.  The toasters can be tested in the store to make sure they are working.  If you want a vintage toaster, you can have one for 75% of its anticipated value. When you buy your toaster, your name will be entered in a drawing for a elegant toaster rack.

 

During the month of August all GLASSES will be reduced 20% from their current prices. DiSH has an array of glasses produced from the 1920’s to the 1960’s.  Cheese spreads came in Swanky Swigs (juice glasses) in the 1930’s; many glasses were given away by stores as promotional items.

 

A major entertainment venue in the homes of the 1930’s-1950’s was the radio. Before television, families would sit around after dinner and listen to their favorite radio programs in the comfort of their living rooms. The production of portable radios made it possible for individuals to listen to programs and music in the kitchen, bedroom or office. Drop by DiSH and take a look at our collection of portable radios which are for sale at reasonable prices. All but two have been refurbished and work well. The manufacturers include: RCA Victor, Motorola, Westinghouse, Belmont (see image below),  Air Chief, Silvertone, Crosley, General Electric and Packard Bell.  See Radios At Dish under Pages on the right for other examples of radios available . For more information on our radios e-mail info@dishtheshop.com
