I used to have a set of Revereware and it wasn't as good as my mom's set -- so I suspect even Revereware has diminished in quality over the years.

My grandfather grew them when I was a girl along with turnips and collards, all of which I liked but mustards were my favorites. I haven't had any in years.<br /><br />I have scored an abundant source of fresh eggs! A teacher at the school has a whole lot of hens and brings me plenty of wonderful eggs!

I sometimes find it in Goodwill but I can tell immediately when I pick it up whether it is the old or the new. The new stuff is light and the old stuff is heavier and more solid. When I find the older ones I buy them and pass them on to my children.
