Lastest finds I didn't know I was looking for

The last few weeks have been very fruitful.

First I came across this small food warmer, number 495 from my previous blog. Then I found two samples of the large cruet version of the RK418, 3pc. Cruet Set that I knew existed from the catalog page that I have.


 
and now this....
 


I found one of these on Etsey, but there is also one currently on EBay if you search vintage metal and glass cruet. It is nice to know that the one I have has cruets from Helen Atlas, as the one with the cruets only was a marriage that I did based on the  catalog page. And the cruets with the H and the A inside matched the measurements on the catalog page.


One that I lost previously has now been found with all it's parts... maybe. If you check out the catalog page, the condiment bowls have a different lid. Since I have no documentation to search, I don't know if this is yet a third iteration or that this, too, is a marriage by someone... although I am closer to an example of  RK410, the Revolving Hostess Susan than I was previously. This came with the original spoons as well. All of these examples are from 1955.

 
One more is still coming in the mail.....soon. Stay tuned.
