Bale handle pots are nice, and they are vintage era so good quality.  This one on eBay with a shipped price of just over $50 is an awesome deal for a relatively rare items like this.

Importantly, it has the bale handle Bakelite and it is in good shape.

Don’t be too concerned about the dark stained inside bottom.

That is almost certainly burnt hard water deposits.  A good soak pure vinegar, with intermittent heating and scrubbing will get ride of it, then follow with a polish with Bar Keepers Friend.

I’m often surprised at some of the things that I find that Revere manufacturing made.  Like this lovely earring holder I came across on eBay:

Sure enough, Revere:

With a wife and three daughters in the house, I couldn’t resist.  Shhhh!  I’ll give it to one of them as a surprise.

It isn’t often I see Revere Ware pieces I haven’t seen before, especially gorgeous ones like this all copper percolator on eBay.

If you look more closely you can see it is copper plated, not solid copper, which makes sense.  But it is in new condition and would make a beautiful display piece.  The price can’t be beat at just a $99.99 starting bid.  I might just buy it myself. 🙂

In terms of Revere Ware unicorns, it doesn’t get much better than a new-old-stock square skillet, and there is one on eBay right now  for a reasonably low starting bit of $99.99.

Square skillets are rare (there are only 3 total on eBay right now) and a new unused one even rarer to the point that, I think, this might be the only one I have ever seen.

If you are a Revere Ware aficionado, this might be the next essential piece for your vintage collection.

You just do not see a price like this on a vintage era bale handle pot, rare as they are.  Even rarer, it has the bale handle Bakelite intact and in good shape.

If you ever thought you might want one of these, I urge you to buy it now!

This is beauty and at a very reasonable price for a new item.  If you are looking for one of these, look no further.

Update: This sold for a very reasonable price in the end.

This is unheard of.  In over 10 years of watching Revere Ware items on eBay, I have never seen a set like this, only over the odd single new vintage piece.  And with a starting bid this low, it may be a real steal for someone.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this went for $500 or more in the end.  But even at that price, It would be a great deal.

There are some other good deals on sets on eBay right now, like these two (one and two); used, but in good condition, well rounded sets, and a good price.

What is up with that speckled handle?

I’ve mentioned a number of times in our blog posts that if you are patient, you can often find what you need on eBay; some things don’t come up often, but the eventually do.  The best way to keep informed is to create a saved search on eBay which will email you when there is a match.

The old style handles with the two screws close to the pot side of the handle is one example.  I do see a pair every 3-4 months on eBay.  One appeared in my search emails today.

If this is what you need go ahead and snap it up.  That is a very good price for a rare item.
