Thank you. I of course said $200 not because of what Replacements said they would want for it, but on a wholesale price. BTW, there is a great market of younger folks who will buy this stuff. I am only 32 and I collect glass... I also know of a few friends who also enjoy glass and antiques. So, this market is NOT "dried up." Many people in my generation like to buy antiques and vintage items (Including punch bowls) Because they are well made. I am constantly shopping at antique, consignment and thrift stores. I prefer them over the crap they sell at Walmart and Ikea. If you have trouble selling something like this on eBay... look into a consignment store with an internet store.

I inherited a drink pitcher from my mother. She got it new during WW2. Its not the same pattern as your bowl, but has the same "feeling" of period design. My pitcher is also unmarked. I believe it was a 'premium'. After you bought a given number of boxes of soap or other comsumable merchandice, you could choose a piece of glassware or a plate. There were very few pleasures during the war, but we enjoyed many a serving of ice tea or cool-aid from it. I'm guessing that you piece may be in the time frame of 1945 - 1952, however, it could be from any time after the begining of molded/pressed glass.

Use the finest grade sandpaper you can find. Sand lightly, then apply a coat of "Mineral Oil" which is sold in pharmacies as a laxative. Yuck, but it's a "food grade" oil meaning it is safe on wooden butcherblocks, salad bowls and the like. It does not have any odor. Wipe on a light coat with a soft rag, then gently wipe off with another clean cloth. Don't use paper towels for this project. Good luck!

Here is a recipe I have had since the 70's and it is very good. 1 large 36oz can unsweetened pineapple juice 1 12 oz can frozen orange juice concentrate 1 12 oz can frozen lemonade concentrate 1/2 cup sugar 6 cups water 2 quarts ginger ale or one bottle of champagne dissolve 1/2 cup sugar in 6 cups of water. Add orange juice and lemonade concentrate and amount of water called for on each can. usually 3 cans each add pineapple juice. Pour into containers and freeze. I use old 1/2 gallon milk cartons. This makes 1 and 1/2 gallons mix. When ready to serve, thaw until slushy add the ginger ale or champagne. This can be done in a punch bowl or in a pitcher. I usually use half mixture and half ginger ale when serving if making in a pitcher. Sometimes I make it up and just let it completely thaw in fridge and mix it half and half with ginger ale in a glass for one serving at a time. I have mixed it up and just used it, didn't freeze. Pretty versatile stuff.
