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.
the penguin bucket is cute but very commom.
ReplyDeletecoffee pot definitely could resell it.
Thanks for the tip about Mr. Metal.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Catherine. You'll find a million Penguin Hot n Cold servers. The coffee pot is probably worth a good bit.
Auuuuurgh!
DeleteI think the penguin is better left behind. I see them all the time!
