Bill states that there were some variations in the primary color set throughout the years, most notably that the oldest sets from the “1940s” were not numbered on the bottom. According to him, “The markings on the bottoms of the 1940s ‘non-numbered’ bowls are only ‘T.M. REG.’ in an arch above ‘PYREX’ horizontally in the middle, and ‘U.S. PAT. OFF’ below in an up-facing arch. The later 1950s - 1970s sets do have the numbers.Another collector mentions that you can also tell the older 1940s bowls from newer ones by the “thickness” of the bowl… the newer ones are thinner. "(taken from the website Pyrex Love)These bowls match the 1940's criteria.  They have the 1940's markings and are definetely noticably thicker.  CONDITION:The condition of these bowls is amazing for 68 year old bowls.  The yellow bowl has some minor scratching that can only be seen when held close to the light.  The Green bowl has a very tiny chip on the bottom rim. Also has minor scrathes that can only be seen when held to the light.  The Blue has some discoloration (which is almost always evident on the blues and reds).  However for their age I would say they are amazingly in excellent condition.  Please check my feedback and you will see that I am a fair and safe seller.  I treat others the way I want to be treated.Thank you for bidding and looking.  PAYPAL IS STILL BEST I do charge $1.00 for packaging and handling to domestic customers and $2.00 packaging and handling to international customers.

This gives me many oportunities to buy wonderful vintage items to be able to pass on to my customers. I always loved estate sales and went to them often. Upon retiring I was hit with paying my own health care insurance. I thought what a better way to possibly make a little extra money to help with that expense than by doing what I love to do and helping others which is also one of my favorite things to do. Since starting with EBAY I have gotten such wonderful emails from so many customers telling me why they made the purchase and how they were going to use the item. Stories like "my grandmother left me that set of dishes and I need one piece to complete the set" "My husband has an illness and the pots and pans I purchased are necessary for me to cook for him since we cannot use metal" It goes on and on. That brings such joy more than the profit endured. First and Foremost I want my Customers to be Happy with their Purchase. Customer Satisfaction is Very Important to me.I firmly live the saying "Treat others the way you would like to be treated". Most items I sell are Vintage, Used or Preowned. I do my best to describe items accurately but sometimes my perception of condition will be different than your perception of condition. I do my best, but sometimes I make mistakes. I don't claim to be perfect. Please Contact me if you are unhappy with your Purchase For Any Reason!! Give me a chance to make you a happy customer so you can leave me Positive Feedback.
