So glad you are enjoying your new range, Eddie! Many years of happy cooking and easy cleaning!!

Robert - thank you for everything you do for our community here! You are the best and appreciated beyond words!

Mark - what a great pattern! Thanks for sharing your collection! I have one piece - a platter - in this pattern and didn't know the name of it...I do now :-) It's a wonderful design. Isn't it funny how many china patterns of that era included ash trays? It's hard to believe, but in the late...

Eddie you are so right about having a good set of knives and they will be able to do most of these food prep tasks that these gadgets really can't perform. Knives are an investment that will pay back with years of good service. Many restaurants boast "hand cut fries" and many use commercial...

Thanks Lawrence! I thought this would have been made in the P7 era although it doesn’t have it but I just couldn’t figure out the year! I really appreciate the information! Kevin

Happy New Year Everyone (we can still say that, right??) I didn't have an avocado green stove in my collection, and while I know it is a color that some detest, I actually kind of like it :-) This stove was available close to me and it was so clean and well cared for that I decided to get it...

I actually went to an estate sale at this home during the summer. I took a good look at these appliances, and they are in fair shape (need a good cleaning) and they were "taking bids" on the set. The person running the sale said the bids would be over $2,000. I wished her luck. Guess they didn't...

Eddie, I would have loved Nanny, too! Sounds like she was a lot of fun!

Rick - peanuts have been a regular part of my diet my entire life. My favorite are the roasted in the shell variety, but they always make such a mess I now only eat them outside in the warmer months. My favorite kind of shelled peanuts are the Spanish variety, which are smaller and still have...

I'll defer to the many experts here on the rewiring, but that's a beautiful range!

Paul - that's a beauty! Great that you rescued it! Can't wait until you can plug it in and see how it does. Enjoy!

How about just making things that can be repaired? So many things - especially small appliances - are not intended to be repaired but thrown away. More junk, more plastic, in our landfills and water. People used to earn a living by repairing all kinds of things: shoes, TV/radios, small...

What an interesting assortment of things - and most of the stoves sold for less than $10! Hope they went to folks who will appreciate and care for them...some really nice models.

Wow! Never new these ranges existed! This is a rare one, for sure!

My local K-Mart was store #1, in Garden City, Michigan, which opened in 1962 as the first K-Mart. Only a couple of miles from my home, it was a regular stop for much of my life. It closed two years ago, has been demolished, and they are building a fitness center in its place. Luckily, there's a...

Seems to me the world is getting hotter, but I've been thinking if we are going to be able air-condition ourselves out of this situation. Many parts of the developing world, which a generation ago had little available air conditioning options, are now installing massive amounts of a/c. Where...

Hi Barry, So many great variations already mentioned here. Like others, I do mine to taste but always just use a shallow bowl and a dinner fork to mash the avocado and combine the seasonings. Mine is generally: Avocado Salt Pepper Garlic powder Chili powder Lime juice (just a little - in...

Welcome to AW! David - congratulations on your beautiful Americana set!! There are a lot of good resources here should you need any help, advice, etc. Enjoy!

Bravo, Mark!!! Now that's what I call research! That was quite a job and the first time I've ever seen a season-by-season rundown of TV show appliances with such detail. Excellent work! I also think the badge on that last refrigerator looks very Gibson to me. Thanks so much!

I remember this flavor as being called “Tiger Tail” and I loved it! Haven’t seen it in years but would love to enjoy it again!
