Anchor Hocking 8 Piece Yellow Satin Frosted Cocktail Set in Original Box This 8 piece 1960s cocktail beverage set by Anchor Hocking is still in the original box and appears to never have been used. Included are a 32 ounce. 6-1/2" tall footed cocktail mixer pitcher, a plated gold colored stirring spoon, and six 4 ounce cocktail glasses.

The fired-on satin frost color is light yellow, almost chartreuse, fading to clear at the rims and decorated with gold bands. Each piece is in perfect, mint condition, though of course the box has been opened and is not mint.

Guardian Service Aluminum and Glass Ice Bucket This scarce cast aluminum ice bucket was part of the Guardian Service Ware line of cookware from the 1930s to mid 1950s, produced by Century Metalcraft. It's 6-1/4" tall to the rim by 6-3/4" diameter not including the metal tab handles. With the distinctive armored knight logo glass lid it's about 9" tall. The lid of course fits any 6" diameter Guardian Service pot or pan.

The ice bucket and lid are in excellent condition. The liner has no scratches, cracks, or stains and the orange peel textured checkered aluminum bucket is shiny with no scratches. The lid is completely free of flakes and chips.

Coppercraft Guild Copper and Black Ice Bucket with Tongs This classy Mid Century ice bucket is made of copper and a black leather-like material (I'm not sure if it's real grained leather or vinyl). It's 10" tall by just under 8" diameter at the rim. The original copper ice tongs are present.

The ice bucket is in excellent vintage condition with one tiny pinpoint depression on the lid. There are no scratches, cuts, or other problems and the copper is clean and gleaming. The under side is marked with the Coppercraft Guild CG in oval mark.

Nautical Theme Red and Chrome Ice Bucket This vintage Mid Century ice bucket is red vinyl and chrome, decorated with applied metal nautical anchors connected by a chain and a ship's wheel on the front. The lid finial is a metal ship's wheel attached to a red wooden knob.

The ice bucket displays well and is completely functional but it has a couple of wear issues. The chromed finish is worn away from the bottom band at the front, exposing the underlying copper base metal. Also, the plastic liner inside the bucket appears to be a replacement, which is fine except that it's a little short - about half an inch of insulation is showing between the rim and the liner.

Hasko Set of Canape Trays and Crystal Ashtrays in Original Box This boxed Hasko Deluxe Canape Trays set is from the 1940s - patent numbers on the backs of the trays date to 1941. Inside the box are four bridge, cocktail, buffet or tea trays and four oblong crystal ashtrays. The trays are wood covered with woodgrain paper with multi-color wildflower bouquet decorations in the centers. They measure 10-3/4" by 5". The heavy glass ashtrays are 5" by 2-1/2".

One tray was damaged by tape used to hold the box together. A little piece of the flower graphic near the edge of the tray lifted up when the tape was removed, but I trimmed the piece of tape and put it back on the tray. The others, and the ashtrays, are in excellent condition with no damage. The box has two tears between the window and the lower side flap, which was why it was taped.
