    I thought that might be the Pyrex Starburst when I saw the title. My late Mom lived with me the last 4 years of her life and had Alzheimer's disease. I used to buy bags of jewelry and buttons from the thrift store. We had hours of fun digging through the treasures and sorting them. ❤🇨🇦

      Aww, that is such a tremendous memory! Alzheimer's is a devastating disease -- my greatgrandfather had it (we just called it being "senile" back when I was a kid), then my grandmother, now my aunt -- I am so glad that you were at least able to enjoy your time with your mother digging through those bags of treasures from the thrift store!! I am sure those hours meant a lot to her too!

      For not knowing anything about pyrex about a year ago you have spent some time educating yourself about it. I used to be an appraiser for the Salvation Army and am self taught also. The things that interest me the most are the things I know nothing about. It is just as exciting to find something unusual or a bit different and learning something of its history and value as it is to find something you are certain of the value.

    Oh fantastic the things you find I’m very upset. I had some gentleman come in and do some contracting work and I had a bunch of my Pyrex stored in the attic. They literally broke all my Pyrex end it all had to be thrown away. I had about 20 pieces up there. I had no space for it down in the cabinets so I put it in the attic to keep it safe yeah, five for keeping it safe and they put insulation. And they smashed everything in the boxes. I complained about it, but nothing was done.

    Hi Alex and Melissa,
    You probably know this Alex, when looking for metal content on jewelry, look at every plain, every angle. I have found metal content on a cross, on one of the arms, almost up into the corner, on the underside of the arm. I know I have bought jewelry that I was told was costume and found a makers mark and metal content in a strange place. 10 k. Pretty cool.
    Melissa, wear your brooch any time you choose. Be different and wear it for the sparkle when it doesn't match what you're wearing! Be brave and be different! You only go around once!
    Take care guys.

    The “Starburst” Pyrex 575 Dish with 550 clear glass Lid is a promotional pattern from 1960 that would have also come with a Cradle (a metal holder) that had plastic handles and dual candle warmer that was originally called a Cinderella Serving Casserole. Worth closer to $400-$800 US without the cradle. Nice find but not quite the holy grail of Pyrex sorry. Mod Stars… now THAT’s a super HTF Rare Pyrex. Best wishes!!

    The (hockey) cup your holding is 100% from Sweden. Our highest league here "SHL" (swedish hockey league) was called "elitserien" (elite series) before they took the name SHL as it is named now. You can also see three crowns on the cup, which is what our national hockey teams is called "tre kronor" (three crowns).

    Alex, the earrings with a ‘screw on’ would definitely be more expensive jewelry because of the screw on back. That is a typical Asian/ Indian style earrings, being gold from 22-24 carats gold and that’s why the screw on backs

I considered having them changed, have never gotten around to it, so they sit at the bottom of the box. 22K.

    My grandmother has that same Atomic (Cinderella Serving Casserole) Pyrex dish with lid. It's the turquoise color and I believe was only produced in 1960 but not sure. I told her years ago it was worth a lot of money. She laughed and said she thinks she paid $5 for it if even that. It did come with a holder and I think candles but she didn't know what happened to them. When going through her things after she passed away I found a large Atomic Eyes bowl and the smaller Pink Daisies casserole though it's missing the lid. My aunt has this stuff now and I told her she can get quite a bit of money for this stuff but she wants to keep them. You sure did find some great items.

( Caveat: Unless that plastic Cameo is Bakelite, it's worth about 50 cents). As far as Pyrex worth more than a grand...give me a break. I believe you but just must shake my head at what the modern buyer sees as valuable. It's cookware!! Give me a break. Right up there with the Glassy Babies...sigh. Thank you for a fun video!

    Back in the early 90's , I had that exact same "black snow flake" design pyrex casserole dish - with the lid. I'm not sure how I acquired it - but it had been in my cupboard
    for a long time. Then, when my Border Collie had puppies - I used that dish to feed the puppies once they were weened from mother. It was used through three litters of
    puppies and then the dish disappeared......it may have been broken.....I just don't remember. Well, easy come - easy go.......
