Yes I agree with the advice. Hut I dont think you should buy that Fiestaware unless you can get it under $5. I dont believe either you or me are knowlegable enough. Here is an example of a medium green salad bowl on eBay for $10. At 7-1/4 inch its not the same bowl. Vintage Homer Laughlin Medium Green Fiesta?ware 7 1 4" Salad Plate | eBay

I wish I had some linseeed oil I could really make them shine in the photos and it acts as a vintage preservative.. I rub it on the wood and the metal. Maybe I pick some up tommorrow.

Ebay, antique malls, and flea markets are full of mis-marked and mislabeled Fiestaware, both vintage and Post-86.

Due to color and lighting, we rarely buy any greens on ebay. Even after collecting for over 20 years, it is just too hard to tell by a picture on ebay which is light, medium and dark green.

We don't list much Fiesta on ebay, as a general rule. The vintage Fiesta we have listed in the past on the bay, like the like-new set we bought last year, we take a picture or two of the piece with the other colors, and handwritten notes on the other pieces saying "light green", "post 86 Shamrock", "post 86 Sea Mist" to give the buyers a reference. The buyers respond very well to this.

No way would I touch those planes with anything. Not in a million years. They are already super clean examples, and the collecting community won't take kindly to linseed oil.

Trust me on that one.

I am not a glass guy, but did you look up Indiana glass and Tiara? Is the color amber?

I'm the wrong guy to be asking....

This time I disagree. Why do you think they look so good? You should have seen them when I first purchased them. Actually I already oiled them 10 years ago when I first obtained them after cleaning. I had no choice but to dissassemble every part and soak every plane in a bucket of water to remove all the dirt with a toothbrush. I even used Qtips in the screw holes. I dryed them thouroughly in the hot Florida sun and oiled them. I had no choice otherwise they would rust even more in my storage warehouse. Metal will rust without preservation the same as a firearm. Would you store a firearm without oiling it down? Metal must be oiled..

Linseed oil is my preferred method of preservation because it was most likely actually used by the original tool owners themselves. My Dad was a carpenter and this is where I got this tip. The Linseed oil will not harm the metal in any way except to keep it from rusting. If anything it helps the patina of cast iron planes. Think of an old cast iron frying pan. The linseed oil will also help the wood from drying out and cracking. This is necessary with any old wood. I have been selling and collecting planes for at least 10 years and I have heard absolutely no complaints. Other collectors use modern oils for preservation but I refuse to use modern synthetic oil for preservation of my antiquities or collectables.

I know, I know people say to never clean but I believe that dirt and built up crud can be removed if done carefully. Dirty rusty cruddy tools do not sell.

OK thanks. The color is as shown. Its also iridescent.

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

I just want to add that cleaning and preservation is often necessary. We have an entire forum devoted to this and it cannot be learned overnight. The way I look at it, I refuse to use any modern synthetic oil that wasnt invented yet at the dateline of the antiquity Im trying to preserve. I prefer pure turpentine and linseed oil before I will use any modern synthetic.

I dont refinish, paint or try fool with anything beyond simple cleaning and oiling but it I were to ever refinish the wood on my own vintage firearm, I would use shellac before I would use polyurethane. Never!

Clovis is correct. It is Indiana glass. The pattern is called Killarney, the color is marigold and it's a divided relish dish. Probably made in the 70's.
