1954 Ebony mag + Pyrex

Don't forget to visit b.vikki vintage on Etsy!

I've got a 1954 issue of Ebony magazine on the way. Turns out my dad has it, it's in really good shape, and originally belonged to my Great Grandfather Joe Petty. The online archives don't go back that far, so I'm excited to get my hands on this rarity!



Whenever it gets here, I'll post all the amazing pictures it's sure to contain!


Also, I was reading the back posts and archives at Thriftaholic and was in awe of the Pyrex kitchenware. I've seen similar peices to the ones posted there at thrift stores so I did a little research on Pyrexlove.com to memorize authentic prints and colorways.

But, to my surprise, once I was done with the research, I walk into my kitchen and what do I see in the dishrack? A Cornell Corningware Pyrex Butterfly Gold cereal bowl. My grandma brought some food over in it and I completely forgot it was here!

She has she might have more pieces with the same print, and I'll definitely keep a keen eye out to complete the set. (pics soon)

    Check out some carnival glass also. Very popular during that time.

    Let me know if there is a particular pattern/pieces you're looking for-- I have a ton of Pyrex in my apartment right now and always come across it at estate sales/thrifts. :)

    My father told me something amazing about "Ebony magazine": they were the first magazine in New York... actually, I would like to be journalism and get a job in a magazine like this one. It was the best in that time.
