Red White & Blue
« on: January 11, 2007, 04:59:42 PM »
Never though that I would get a red white & blue together. On another post the members was showing red white and blue cast iron. This is a glass top end table with a bottom in it to display cast iron of course, got it at an auction.

Yes ED, The white is a Griswold O toy, the red is a Favorite Piqua Ware #1, the blue is a # 5 Piqua Ware with wood handle. And of course the Erie Spider.

Clark- the red, white, and blue are nice but the 'Spider' brings tears to my eyes, knowing I'll probably never own one like that. :'( Mike

Whoweeeee Clark, that is one real nice picture. That little red skillet just sets'em all off. Now Clark, you always did post good pictures, but now you're getting the postin part down to a science. Nice job.  ;)

Sometimes the spider used to look so big he scared me.  ;)

Clark, you've gone and done it, you've made me covet.  The last time I did that was when Perry posted those three blue enamel piqua waffle irons.  Thanks for posting.  I sure like to look at them. :o

I know, I was focusing on the three square ones with all different height bases.  I've never seen that before.  I guess I just fixated on those three.  No offense to the other two.  I'll probably get to focusing on them in a few months and then it will be even worse.  Be sure and put me in the will Uncle Perry  ;D

I'll do'er son.  ;) Hey Roger, somebody said Texas was getting warshed off the map down to the Gulf, is that right? Here its supposed to rain all weekend and then turn off cold and come ice and then snow after the first of the week.

Also Roger, them square ones, they all look like they are different heights, but actually two of them are the same height and then the third one is taller. My favorite is the the blue porcelain hotel waffle iron, I got one of them in black iron also, and I like it too. Aw hell Roger, I like them all.  ;D

See, that's what I was thinking.  Great minds think alike  ;D  

As far as the rain, we haven't had any yet, but here you can wait ten minutes and it will change.  Sometimes for the good and sometimes for the bad.  I'll keep you posted.
