Depression A

Carafe w/ Warmer
This is a nice carafe complete with server/warmer. A small candle in the server and your drink is sure to stay at a nice, warm temperature. The piece comes complete with the original cork and plastic stopper. The carafe itself measures 9" tall, and in the server stands over 12" ! The green Pyrex label, marked on the center of the piece, again indicates the age to be from the early 1940s - nice piece of 70 year old glass.

Wooden Handled Flameware
Wooden handles were introduced by Corning during WW II. They were an experimental series developed to limit the use of metals for saucepans during the war. They never reached the retail market, but there are still some around from the experiment. The ones we have seen still have had excellent wooden handles.

We were really lucky to come across this 6 cup. From the inside components to the wooden handle it appears to never have been used. It is listed and pictured in our reference books, but never given a price in the listings!! The shape is like none of the other Flameware coffees that we have seen.

This is another 6 cup from WWII, similar to the above but different in two important ways. This pot has the older model tab top rather than the knob top on the pot above. This piece also has a rare, all glass basket. We have only seen a couple of these during our travels thru the 'Land of Pyrex past', and were lucky enough to stumble upon this one. The bottom of the bsket is white glass molded to the rest of the basket. The older style lid was made so that there was no need for a top of the basket - the water was directed straight into it. Here is real evidence that people cared, as far back as WWII, about contamination of their drinks through metal poisoning.
