A Happy Pyrex Week!

I picked up some great Pyrex finds at estate sales & thrift stores last week -- I feel like I hit the jackpot!
Can anyone explain the difference in the lids? I assume one type is older than the other, but which one?

My favorite: a turquoise chip & dip set! I paid full price at an antique store for this, but it was worth it!
Wasn't it a happy Pyrex week? What kind of treasures did you find?

  1. About the lids; the older ones are are the ones with the stripes only on the side; they were made up until 1950. After the company found that they were expensive to manufacture and decided to go with the full stripe design.

  7. Thanks for the help on the lids -- now I'll know which are the older ones to watch for!

    I paid $22 for the chip and dip -- WAY more than I usually like to spend, as I'd prefer to find my treasures at sales or thrifts. I'd never seen one, though, and was afraid I never would again.
