Hi Scott! I've been catching up on some old videos. Thanks so much for all the great entertainment and education. I was surprised to see the Fire King soup bowls. The Shell Peach Luster soup bowls came in 2 styles. Those were the rare flanged ones similar to RW flanged soup. I think you could have made decent money😊

My father was both a mechanical engineer and a chemical engineer. In the late 70s/early 80s he bought a handheld Texas Instruments scientific calculator. Don't remember exact price, but it was around $700 or $800, which was very expensive then. He was so proud of it and it saved him hours of work! He would be totally amazed to know that now everyone can do scientific calcultions on a phone app. He would be 105 if still living today.

The elegant glass stem is definitely a lily of the valley. You can tell from the leaves just as much as the flower. With regards to polishing up the silver on your glass...... I used to work silver and spent a lot of money on various silver polishes. The best I've found to date is one called Peek. (can be purchased on Amazon or in Canadian Tire in Canada) It's a non abrasive cream that's easy to use, does no damage to surrounding materials, and wipes off clean, leaving an amazing shine that also protects from further tarnish. As a bonus, it works just as well at removing black utensil marks from coffee cups and Pyrex. Not abrasive like Barkeepers friend.

In 1958 our home had coordinating turquoise GE appliances. The refrigerator/freezer was a three section wall mounted cabinet design.The stove was a counter top drop in model. The oven was separate and mounted into the kitchen cabinets. In 1983 I rented a carriage house with the same turquoise kitchen installation, including the turquoise metal cabinets. Then came the 1970s with avocado green, harvest gold, and two tone copper and brown. That is when true trauma was inflicted upon my color palette. I have never recovered. It is called post traumatic design disorder (PTDD).

I'm wondering if the elegant silver plated teapot was used for an event (like wedding decor, or party scape) or for a play or something. I guess you could fairly easily remove that paint, since the teapot isn't that valuable anyway, you could try if you really liked it and just wanted it because of the form (I say "you," but, of course, I mean "someone") for personal home decor... or even to use as a teapot!
