Dust off those attic boxes and clear out the pantry! You might be surprised to learn that those “dated” kitchen gadgets and colorful dishes from your childhood are now fetching a fortune from eager vintage collectors and decorators.
The Pyrex Lucky In Love Casserole: A Rare Heart-Patterned Treasure: $5,000 to $22,000
This elusive 1959 promotional dish is widely considered the “holy grail” for glass collectors. Featuring a whimsical print of pink hearts and green four-leaf clovers, it reportedly had a very limited production run, possibly due to the patterns overlapping during the firing process. Because so few survived in pristine condition, a single dish can allegedly fetch upwards of $5,000 to $22,000 at specialized auctions.
If you find one with the original lid and no “dishwasher blur,” you are holding a piece of mid-century history that is essentially a down payment on a new car.
