So Cool.

The Tupperware 8" Suzette Divided Relish Tray

2011-08-26T13:50:00.000-07:00

I have one in white and one in shiny red! Perfect for serving olives, nuts, mints or the like! So handy for travel, as the handle unscrews and the seal fits tightly for transport. Then, simply pop off the seal and put the handle on and you're ready to go! Tray and handle are mold numbers 608 and 609. :)

The Citrus/Orange Peeler

2011-08-24T21:46:00.000-07:00

Probably one of the top five most used Tupperware gadget in our home.... the Citrus/Orange Peeler!

To peel an orange: Using hook end of peeler, score the orange full circle in one direction. Then, repeat in the other direction, marking the orange in four sections. Then, insert the flat end of the peeler under the pointed part of one of the quarters. Peel off the portion and remove the other 3 sections in the same way.

Maize Gold Fix 'N Mix Bowl

2010-05-04T13:44:00.000-07:00

What can I say about the Maize Gold Fix 'N Mix Bowl?

This baby is a classic and I love it when I can find one in great condition at an estate sale, because they fetch a good price on ebay!

The bowl is #274 and has a 26-cup capacity

Size V seal #224

12" diameter and 5" high

Missing any seals?

Tupperware Colander with Mesh Seal

2009-05-11T14:40:00.000-07:00

I just love this classic Tupperware tool! This colander, unlike almost all other colanders I've seen, comes with a mesh seal. I don't know about you, but when I'm straining foods, I often have to shake the colander a bit to get that last bit of water off. Most of the time, my food stuffs go flying out and into the sink! The beauty of this piece is that your food stays safe inside! You can shake, shake, shake your colander and not lose one morsel!!!

Ice Tups!

2009-05-08T13:29:00.000-07:00

Gotta love these things! I remember being a kid and mom getting this set and we could make our own frozen treats! I've heard these called "Popsicle molds", but Popsicle is a brand name that has clearly no relationship with Tupperware. The correct name for this set is "Ice Tups"!

What a great way to make an inexpensive treat and keep unnecessary packagaing out of the trash cans!

Vintage Tupperware Meat Keepers

2009-02-15T23:35:00.000-08:00

Here's a nice lot of vintage Tupperware meat keepers. These are great for marinating or just storing meats. I'm pretty sure that I have here a hot dog keeper, a bacon keeper, a cold cut keeper and I'm not sure what else. Feel free to comment and set me straight. I will update this post to be as informative as possible.

The classic Mix n Stor

2009-02-15T23:28:00.000-08:00

Here's the classic sheer Mix n Stor. Why they spell "store" as "stor", I do not know..??? Anyway, here is a classic piece that all of our mom's had in their kitchen. Holds 2 quarts and the seal snaps on tightly. The spout seal pops open for easy pouring. Excellet for pancake mix!

Mold for Tupperware Container from 1965

2008-06-20T16:13:00.001-07:00

Okay, this is really fascinating to me on so many levels! First of all, this a photo of a 1965 Tupperware mold for a Mix-n-Store. Second, I was born in 1965 (LOL), and third, my day job is I'm an accountant for a plastics injection molder (no, we don't manufactur Tupperware).

This is just so cool! Here's an excerpt from the article:

A single impression mould used in the injection moulding of a Tupperware
'Mix-n-stor' container, shown with a container sitting in the mould casing. The
container is made from polythene. Tupperware was developed by an American, Earl
Tupper, in the mid 1940s. Polythene was discovered in 1933 by Reginald Gibson
and Eric Fawcett, two scientists working at ICI's research laboratory at
Winnington, Durham, as the result of a laboratory accident. The first patents
for polythene were registered in 1936, and a year later the first practical use
for the material, as a film, was discovered. Polythene was used as an insulating
material for radar cables during World War II, and the substance was a closely
guarded secret. After the war it began to be produced commercially.

Definitely a Favorite

2008-06-20T09:39:00.000-07:00

What's your favorite Vintage Tupperware piece? I'd have to say, for me, it's the classic yellow colander! My mom had/has one, and now I have one. We use it constantly. It's just the right size for the amount of pasta I cook and the handle makes it quick and easy!

What is it?

2008-06-17T13:01:00.000-07:00

Okay, I'm posting this picture of some of the pieces I've collected that I'm not sure of what they are. I'm guessing the item on the far left is a scrubby holder. The green item on the far right could be a lettuce corer. If you have any idea of what the other 3 items are, please, PLEASE jump in and let me know what they are!

The "new" old Tupperware Blog

2008-06-17T12:39:00.000-07:00

Hello! I'm Holly. Nice to meet you.

I love vintage Tupperware and love to buy and sell! No, I'm not a Tupperware lady... I like the vintage stuff. The stuff Grandma used to have.

This blog is my attempt to provide lots of information and goodies about collecting vintage Tupperware. There isn't much out there for collectors, so I thought I'd create my own resources and share it with others.

There are a few great links of interest (see my links).

Otherwise, stay-tuned. Subscribe! There's more to come!
