Subject: [VAL] Cargo Shifting:  Revere Ware knock off 10" frying pan w/ lid

    All,

    Today I'm offering a 10" Revere Ware knock off frying pan to the List.
I say knock off because for all the world it looks like a genuine Revere
Ware pan but for the identifying logo that's missing on the copper bottom.

    Speaking of the copper bottom, I've buffed the whole pan and lid
including the copper bottom to a fairly good shine.  You could actually comb
your hair using the bottom for a mirror.

    Anyway, you all get the idea.  If you think you could use this pan for
your own use and not for resale, please contact me back channel and if
you're the first to do do, it's yours.

    I've been equipping my Caravel with period pieces, 1969 game cards,
1968 Scrabble, Genie phones, Texas Ware, Polaroid 330 camera, etc. as well
as a modest set of Revere Ware, a part of that collection.  This pan is an
extra as I've decided the smaller 8" pan looks better on the stove, so my
overbuying is your gain.

    All I ask is that you be willing to pay the postage.  The way that works
is to look at the cost on the box when it arrives and send me only that
amount.  My return address will be clearly marked on the box as well.

    Good luck,

    Glyn Judson
