We come across a lot of people missing the lid for their square skillet. They are almost impossible to come by. Well here is an eBay auction for just the lid!

A lot of interesting replacement parts on eBay recently
I’ve seen an inordinate amount of hard-to-find replacement parts on eBay recently.
Percolator parts
A customer contacted us looking for the spreader for the percolator basket. In the past I’ve seen complete baskets and stem sets on a couple of occasions but that’s about it. This week there were two or three of that particular part available. In fact, on seller was selling all the parts of a percolator.
Older handles
There have been quite a few of the older handles used in the first few years of Revere Ware (for example here and here and here).
3 1/2 quart kettle handle
These come up from time to time and there is now.
Original glass percolator knobs
While we sell a suitable replacement, for those looking for the completely original look, there are a bunch of these (here, here, here, and here) on eBay right now.
Pressure cooker handles
These are probably off a used units. For those looking for replacement Bakelite for the 4 quart pressure cooker, there are two sets available right now (one, two).
4 qt pressure cooker over pressure plug
Unless you steal one from another working pressure cooker, these are unobtanium. But there is one (appears used) for sale on eBay.
The point is, if you keep looking, you can probably eventually find what you need for your Revere Ware on eBay.
Revere Ware roaster
I came across this on eBay recently and I just love the utility of it.
With deep straight sides and a dome lid, it is seems pretty useful. I wish they made these in the vintage era.
2020: It was a great year for Revere Ware!
Looking at the graph of Google searches for the term “Revere Ware” since 2004, you might think interest in the brand is dying a slow death.
But look at the bump on the far right.
Clearly, overall interest in Revere Ware has bottomed out and is now going up again. Impressions for the ad keywords we use on Google Adwords tells an even more encouraging story.
According to the number of impressions, which tracks a wider variety of Revere Ware related searches, interest bottomed out in 2012 and has gone up significantly since then. As another data point, here are the eBay listings graph from our revereware.org site that categorizes eBay Revere Ware auctions.
That goes back to 2009, and the number of listed items has continually gone up, with a huge bump this year. Then there are our sales over the last year.
All I can say is wow! Every month since April has far outperformed prior years, and December was our largest sales month since we started selling replacement parts in 2009. The graph of total revenue per year shows the year over year bump a little clearer.
Our sales have climbed continuously since we started selling parts. The Revere Ware brand may be officially dead, but interest in Revere Ware is far from dead, and experienced quite a revival in 2020.
Plethora of old style handles available on eBay
This week brings 5 auctions for the old style handles that are hard to come by. Get them while you can.
Here are two listed as #616 suitable for 7, 8, and 9 inch skillets and some saucepans (one and two).
Here are three listed as #620 suitable for 10 and 12 inch skillets and some saucepans (one, two, and three).
Some orders are seeing a shipping delay
Due to a lost bulk shipment to our fulfillment contractor, our lid knobs went out of stuck in Late December unbeknownst to us. We discovered it last week as we noticed that some orders from late December and forward had not been shipped. We worked quickly last week to get more stock to our contractor’s warehouse. The stuck orders should start shipping soon.
We apologize for the inconvenience for anyone affected by this.
Update 1/11/20 : All stuck orders have been shipped and everything is back to normal
