I still have the pan from the Revere pressure cooker...found it along with the lid about 20 years ago. There's a recall on the lid to take them out of commission--I sent it in to World Kitchens, as I recall, and got a gift card for Corning Ware. The pan is very pleasant to use...very heavy stainless so it cooks acidic things nicely without reacting.

Oh how I coveted Dixie Cups when I was a kid. If we’d have had a Dixie Cup dispenser I would have thought I’d died and gone to heaven. To me they were the height of luxury! I thought this because both my parents thought they were only for rich people that could afford to throw money away. They never got over being raised during the Great Depression.
Thanks Louie! I always enjoy your Modern Living threads, ditto to the Vintage Food and Appliance threads too.

Eddie, don't feel bad. We never had disposable paper cups or anything similar. Even our picnic basket was packed with plasticware plates. All to my partner's chagrin. I dn't have any paper plates or cups in the house. I cringe when he uses paper towels to put a smmich or cookies on. I have tons of dishes for those purposes. I've kept extra saucers from when my mom had to replace broken cofffee cups. I've got salad plates, bread plates, and saucers all to chose from. I haven't even used a whole roll of paper towels since I've been home since mid march.

Oh Bob, don’t get me wrong. I truly appreciated the way I was raised to be thrifty. It’s served me well. I hate anything disposable, except cheap paper napkins for breakfast and lunch or snacks, always cloth napkins for dinner, and never plastic cutlery of cups.
But kids in the 50’s wanted everything we saw on TV. These are great old ads that Louie posts make me realize I gotta a lotta miles on the odometer when I can recall Dixie Cups from 1954.

Eddie! I too wished and wished we had a Dixie cup dispenser! How I thought they were cool! But no... We even had to drink saccarin (sp) sweetened KoolAid! II was embarrassed at the cheapness of my parents! I still love real KoolAide and real Jello! Don't get me started! Greg |

We had a Dixie dispenser in the bathroom and kitchen, used mostly the waxed-paper cups. The novelty wore off before long and then we had to fix the wall where the double stick tape tore away the wallboard paper.
My grandmother had the plastic cup dispenser and only ever bought one box of cups. She washed those cups and reused them in the dispenser for years. "Be careful when you wash them as they will crack easily, don't want to have to throw them away.." |

Those look to be the original Solo Cups holder and cone shaped cup. Hathaway's, a restaurant in downtown Cincinnati that I used to eat at often, used these. They still had them when I last went three or four years ago. They opened in 1956. |

OMG Gansky I love your story about your Grandma saving those plastic cups, washing and reusing them.
Your story reminds me of the baby sitter we had in the 50’s that used jelly glasses for her “good” drinking glasses. Remember how back in the day some manufactures, like Mary Ellen bottled jelly in jars that resembled glasses, same for Kraft with their cheese spreads, and chipped beef. The lids were pried off, rather than screw tops leaving a smooth edge for drinking glasses. Some even had painted designs on them.
Well, Mrs. Krenzer didn’t want us taking her precious jelly glasses outside for drinking while we were playing. So, she placed either a quart milk bottle or sometimes some used Shasta soda cans with the tops cut off with a can opener under the garden hose faucet that we were to use for refreshment. She babysat not only my siblings and I but at least 7 to 10 other kids at the same time too. I guess this was the 1950’s version of herd immunity, LOL!
When we told Mom about this she wasn’t happy about us drinking out of cans with sharp edges so she bought Mrs. Krenzer some cheap plastic cups to leave out at the backyard faucet, but we still drank out of the same “safer” plastic cups, that were never washed as far as I know.
Folks back then were not wasteful, very little conspicuous consumption. Maybe if we’d kept following some of these old time money savers the landfill and oceans wouldn’t be so polluted.

Remember peanut butter & jelly in Jetson or Flinstone glasses? At least We were allowed to collect those! Got thrown out in later years or the dishwasher etched all the graphics off first. Greg |

We had Bama jams & jellies for a number of years. The containers turned out to be decent, sturdy "jelly jars". My mom started saving them so I could have glasses when I moved into my first apartment in college fall 1974. And we kept adding to the collection. They were my "everyday" glasses up until a year or so ago. (I threw the jelly jars out, over 20 of them. They were replaced by a new kind of jelly glass--it was actually a mug kind of style that had a handle on each one. I figured as I got older, it would be better to have a handle on the side of the glass to hold on to.
