Mistake?



Passed on this Art deco Farber coffee pot with bakelite/catalin handle for $5 at the Blenko bottle estate. The chrome had a lot of spotting. (There was a large matching coffee urn but the handle was cracked, see below. Also passed on the penguin bucket) A mint one just sold on Ebay for $65. Did I make a mistake?

Yes, I did! Sputnik Housewares said pitting would clean up with Mr. Metal polish.

  2. Thanks for the tip about Mr. Metal.

    I agree with Catherine. You'll find a million Penguin Hot n Cold servers. The coffee pot is probably worth a good bit.

  3. I think the penguin is better left behind. I see them all the time!
