Well here is a neat find, circa 1996.

You get what you wait for – mixing bowl lids
This week, the Revere Ware eBay find of the week are these new old stock (NOS) mixing bowl lids.
These are pretty rare, and we get about 10 requests for these a year. But if you are diligent, even rare items like these do come up on occasion. Get them while you can!
HUGE Revere Ware lot on eBay
This is the largest lot of Revere Ware I can recall seeing for sale on eBay.
The price, at $499, seems steep, but that’s only $2.50 per piece, which is very cost effective. This would make a great lot for a refurbisher that wants stock to refurbish and resell.
Unfortunately, it is local pickup only, in Maryland.
When Revere Ware began to lose its way
I came across this interesting egg poacher on eBay today.
Now that, to me, looks like they took a muffin tin and called it an egg poacher. Compare that to the classic egg poacher they sold in the vintage era which is a very classic design.
The muffin tin one is part of the signature collection, which, according to our Photo Guide, was first produced in the 70’s, the period right after quality cookware produced during the vintage era ended.
To me, it is a good reminder of how Revere Ware changed course in a big way after which their products were never as good.
To get what you want, strike while the iron is hot
Sometimes great things pop up on eBay, but you have to be quick. Here is a brand new vintage era pre-patent tea kettle:
You can tell it is the vintage variety by the stamp on the bottom.
But, sadly, this one must have gone quickly, at a very reasonable price.
Nearly new Kettles on eBay
For the last 10 years or so, while Revere Ware copper bottom cookware was still being produced, tea kettles were the only product I recommended to anyone to buy new. Unlike the rest of the copper bottom cookware, using less metal in the tea kettles (which I’m not even sure Revere Ware did) doesn’t really reduce their effectiveness. Additionally, we’ve not heard of reliability issues with newer kettles vs older ones.
But now that Revere Ware is no longer producing any cookware, you can’t easily buy new kettles anymore. So when a couple of pristine looking used kettles appear on eBay, we take notice.
Here are a pair listed by the same seller that don’t really look used, and are pretty reasonably priced. My recollection is that a new kettle cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $35 when they were being produced in the last 5 years, so these two, at $49.86 shipped, aren’t that much more, especially when $10 of that is shipping.
So get yourself one of these great looking kettles (one and two).
Another unicorn – NOS original (early years) Revere Ware handle
We don’t see these often on eBay, original handles from the first few years of Revere Ware production.

Revere Ware deals of the week – square skillet & bale handle pot
A couple of great items at great buy-it-now and starting bid prices came up today, a square skillet and a bale handle pot.
Another rare early style handle on eBay
A week ago we alerted you to the availability of an early style handle that has both screws at the close end of the handle. Well here is another. If you need one, buy it now as they don’t come up often.
Note that these, like the more modern version, come in different sizes, so make sure this is the size you need.
