Hi Cindy! Glad you liked the tour! I'd love to do a cookbook one of these days - it might have to wait until I retire, but I'd love to put all the recipes we've done in a book. Thanks!
We still have several Tupperware pieces from the late 60's. We have (and still cherish) the S &P shakers, the three container caddy which my mom still uses for tea, sugar and sweetener, the large and medium burping containers in opaque clear with a seal embossed on the top, and a small rectangular container that she has used for brown sugar since it was purchased at a Tupperware party back then. I always wished she would take me to a Tupperware party back then, I might have been 7 years old or so. I figured those parties must have been so hip with ladies in curled hair, bell bottoms and lots of floral designs. They were probably drinking wine!
Hi TuckerSP2011! Sounds like you have some great vintage Tupperware pieces and glad to hear you are still using them. I was at a Tupperware party years ago and there was a giant bar set up in the dining room! I think the idea is that people order more after a couple of drinks! LOL! Thanks!
“Holy Moly Typewriters Batman!!!” Oh my... these bring back so many memories! I think I’ve used All of them Lol! Oh WOW did I see Charlie Chip cans? My mom had one of those on top of our hutch for years! Tupperware...oh yes... I got a ton of this stuff when I first got married... still have it til this day! This was so Fun!
Visiting Calvalcade is officially on my bucket list! That pedestal - my mom had one and I believe it was called a Serve-it-all. The top tray becomes the bottom - and the "pedestal" flips over and fits into the center of the tray and might hold a dip and around it would be crudite or something like. You can also use the large top lid for an additional serving tray... pretty sure that's what you've got there.
Hi June! Thanks so much for the information on the pedestal piece! I just wasn't sure what role all the pieces played and how it all worked together. What you describe makes a lot of sense and I see how it how it could be used for a number of different things! Thank you!!
Hello Kevin. The blue Tupperware piece I believe is used as a portable veggie plate with a veggie dip storage that you place in the centre. I remember seeing these at picnics back in the day. We would just keep refilling the veggie dip holder as needed. Honestly you could use it for anything that requires a dip. Thanks for sharing all of your treasures. I would love to one day visit your museum.
Hi Terenia! This makes sense! It seemed like it was multiple pieces but I wasn't sure what exactly Tupperware designed it for! I'll have to try it out next time I'm asked to bring veggies and dip to a get together! Thanks!!
The pedestal holds 7 fluid ounces on one side and flip it over for 12 fluid ounces of dip. It's supposed to come with a clear plastic lid to keep it fresh while you wait for people to arrive.
I LOVE THIS!! Born in the early '60's, I recognize all the old tupperware--the pastel bowls and glasses. My mom had all of it--even those individual jello molds and canned ham keeper. (As a child, I thought it was for a whole chicken.) It did my nostalgic heart good to see the things I remember so well..
Thank you Kevin for thinking about your viewers and fans!! I was rather disappointed yesterday when I didn't see a notification on my phone, but like I say... good things are worth waiting for!! Your collection simply amazes me! Your devotion to saving and honoring the heritage of food culture is a wonderful treasure! You are also saving and honoring memories that your viewers hold dear to their hearts. Thank you Kevin, Ralph and Maryann for your hard work and bringing back fond memories!! I never realized how much Tupperware was such a large part of my childhood. I recognized every piece of Tupperware you had from my mom's kitchen!! The three piece container you had with the handle in the middle was considered a relish tray at our house! My mom would put black olives, baby dills and radishes in it for every huge dinner we ever had. She would just pop the tops back on and store it in the fridge. Take care!! Be well!!
Hi Greg! Glad you enjoyed the video! This is a busy and hectic time for me with work and it was difficult to find some spare time this week, but I often feel that the collection is something that people like to see, so thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed it. Doesn't that old Tupperware take you back? I can just see that relish tray filled with all those goodies! A really great design and practical. I think that was what made Tupperware so successful. Thanks so much!
@@cavalcadeoffood ... guess what? That vintage Tupperware 3 piece container set with the handle in the middle is now mine! We went through the last batch of my parents things and I got it! I also got their 1950's era chrome Sunbeam Coffemaster automatic percolating coffee maker! It must have been a wedding gift, but I don't think it was ever really used! The inside is spotless, the basket had no stains, just pristine! I remember my mom always made coffee in a stove top percolater pot. I can still see the egg shells in the grounds! So I don't think she ever used it much. Pretty exciting! You need to do a tour of your vintage coffee pots!!! Take care!
Wow just amazing. All those things I grew up with-haven't seen in a while, are becoming more rare. I love that kids get to step into your beautifully displayed time machine.
Wow it was so good to have a look around ‘Cavalcade’ with you today. I collect vintage Tupperware too so it was great to see your collection! It always amazes me what you have created, truly amazing!
I love my vintage Tupper ware. I swear by the quality, and like you say lovely bright colours and mix and match. Today's rubbish doesn't last five minutes
My grandmother (b. Jan. 1910) had lots and lots of Tupperware. I remember tumblers, salt and pepper shakers, and bowls with lids, all in pastels. One thing she bought a lot of was Tupperware, Princess House, and Avon. 😂
We have a Ben Franklin still in my hometown of Duncanville Tx. It's a really beautiful building. I loved going to Ben Franklin as a kid they had these blow up and even plastic barbie furniture and playsets and that was my jam.
This was so cool. I recently pulled all my Tupperware out to sort it all on my dining room table, which was stacked everywhere. So many of the things you were showing and some others too. Thank you for showing all this loved “stuff”!
just wow, i thought i was a cook book hoarder and you are my kind of person! I collect them. I have my grandma's old chrome Formica table in beige and i love that thing, i used to make biscuits as a child on that table. She had the vintage house 1940's and all the same stuff all her life. My mother got rid of a lot of it unfortunately and she never saw the value in any of it. But I love to see all your things, all your collections. I also collected a ton of albums like you. I don't have as much due to room but i have a lot and i got on a pottery phase where I was collecting before the craze hit of vintage and got some Russell Wright plates, pitchers, creamers, Eva Z pottery, and i also collected mid century pottery... niloak, pigeon forge pottery, ramsbottom, weller etc etc. You have the same love for things I do. My grandfather was a typewritier repairman in Chicago and he had these drum barrels filled with chemicals that cleaned the parts and it was very interesting. Keep on showing us all your collections, I really am fascinated.
Wow! A Pioneer PL-630 turntable! I had one in the 1980’s and gave it to my Dad & his wife in the 1990’s. I wish now that I’d kept it. Best Pioneer turntable ever!
That is a great tour. One thing about many of the older Tupperware containers is many of the lids, especially the clear ones would shrink, warp and get gummy over time. The little square containers I used to have a bunch, some in clear, some in tan, and some in the turquoise lids that were often difficult to remove once on, but were great for smaller servings of leftovers. The clear ones (I had a pink version with a clear lid) that the lid went bad on so had to discard, the others with the tan or turquoise lids, they got so difficult that they'd eventually split and had to use a bottle opener to pry the lids off. Most of those my mother once had. Those semi square containers and the canister sets were of the press and seal sets that came out I think in the mid to late 60's and were prevalent throughout the 70's and 80's. I used to have the pitchers, though they were from Rubbermaid, an older orange/yellow one, a teal blue/green one that I bought in I think the 80's or early 90's and a brown one that had the ribs along the sides of the pitcher. A lot of the time, they held orange juice in them, you know, the concentrate from cans. :-) My Mom used to have those salt and pepper shakers set for many years. They eventually became part of the picnic set. Have to agree, this past year has through everyone for a loop, me included. BTW, that creamer pitcher in yellow. I have its light blue sugar container companion. For years, it was at good friend's beach cabin out on the Washington coast, located north of Ocean Shores and when they redid their cabin to rent out, he gave it to me, and I use it mostly to sugar my coffee in the mornings.
Hi John! I've only had one lid (Tupperware calls them "seals") start to break down and shrink. What I've done is I store these with the lids on them. It takes up more room this way - most of them were made to nest so as to take up less space - but keeping the lids on keeps the lids formed properly and prevents shrinking. My mom used to make that OJ that came as frozen concentrate in the can - we always had it with breakfast. Somewhere I think I have the sugar container for that little yellow creamer, but it's a great little pitcher. Thanks so much!
I kept a large plastic lid (10-12”?)for years. I thought it went with an old bowl I had. I was surprised to see one day that it was an old Tupperware lid that must have come with my Mom’s belongings. She had been a big fan of Tupperware! For sentimental reasons I set about looking for the item number and finding the correct bottom for it and scoured ebay for the best price (same diameter and about 2.5” tall). I felt so satisfied that I finally had the complete piece! I put it in the cupboard until I had a need for it. Soon after when I moved it to get to something else, I was horrified to see my Mom’s lid had split apart! Maybe the lid had dried too much to be able to handle the tight seal? All the effort to make the piece useful again was wasted! I donated the bottom!😂🤣
Ohhhh Kevin! What a glorious place! I can’t wait to come out and visit you when all this “crap” is thru! It looks fantastic! I wish I lived closer I’d love to help you catelog the records! What a load of fun!!! The Tupperware tour was great and I can’t wait to find out what those pedestal things are! I can’t imagine...??? As I mentioned before I have the salt and pepper shakers too as well as the jiffy sifter thanks to seeing yours on the show ❤️❤️ Was a great tour and perfect way to start my long day of vaccinating.... hope you are well! Hugs! Jeff xo
Hi Jeff!! Looks like that Tupperware piece was for veggies and dip. I'll have to try it out!! Good luck vaccinating - thank you so much for helping people during this crazy time!! Stay safe!!
@@cavalcadeoffood It's called a "Serve-it-all" tray. For cakes, cupcakes, pies, chips and dip, vegetables and dip. Per Ebay listing. I had to look it up. Love the Tupperware.! I don't have much, but I swear my mother had about everything from the 60's. Don't know whatever happened to it all?
My mom used Kool-aid to make the Tupperware ice pops! Thanks for the trip down memory lane... I love all your vintage "x" videos. Your passion for collecting definitely transcends through.
I hope one day to visit & experience wonderful nostalgia. I'd enjoy browsing the cookbooks section so much & it's wonderful you collect handwritten recipes.
My wife was preparing a meal the other day and pulled out the a green shredder tray exactly like that one. We have had it for years from her mothers time. It preformed perfectly. So many of these items I can remember my mother having and enjoying using. Thank you for these tours. Very enjoyable.
I have the yellow measuring cups and use them all the time. The cereal bowls-I almost forgot about them! Many fond memories of those popsicles (mom used Kool-Aid). I had the lime green cannister set. I would love to get my hands on a yellow set! :) I love the way people call all the cheapo plastic containers "Tupperware!" LOL! Eh, no its not!
Hi Going Slightly Mad! We ate cereal out of bowls like that when we were kids! Weren't those homemade popsicles great? I loved the ones mom used to make. Yes, funny how generic the word "Tupperware" has become, but these pieces are of very high quality, which is probably why they are still around. Not anything like the dollar store stuff. Thanks!
I had totally forgotten about those hamburger formers! My mom used to turn out what seemed like hundreds of those for our family picnics in the summer. Thanks for the memories!
Hi John! You're welcome! I've used those patty formers and they work well. All the burgers are the same size so they all cook at the same time and no one complains that they got a smaller one!! LOL! Sounds like your mom put hers to good use!
The Hamburger Press was available this summer for a short time. Because there are so many products, Tupperware brings classics back for a season every so often.
Your tour brought back so many memories of my mom's kitchen with the Tupperware. I also enjoyed seeing the typewriters. My dad used to buy typewriters at yard sales, repair them, and then resell them. It was his hobby after he retired. How fun it would be to spend an afternoon looking at all your collections. 😊
Hi Patricia! Glad the video brought back some memories. I think a lot of us connect with that old Tupperware. Like your dad, finding old typewriters and fixing them up has been a hobby of mine for many years. I find my time working on those beautiful old machines to be some of the most relaxing! Thanks!
@@cavalcadeoffood - Dad found it relaxing and fun as well. When he passed in 2005 I think he had about a dozen in the spare bedroom that he had restored. He also restored the big, typewriter-sized adding machines. We found about 10 of those tucked away in cabinets on the patio. 😉
My grandmother used the canned ham container for potato salad. I have a hand written recipe of hers where she illustrated the way she decorated the top with celery, pimento and sliced egg and made it look like a flower w/stems.
Hi BlindMellowNellie! That canned ham container is pretty large, so your grandmother had plenty of potato salad for the crowd! Cherish that handwritten recipe - I'll bet it looked beautiful with her decorations on the top! Those are the kinds of details that make things so special! Thanks for sharing that memory!
Hi Kevin, what a wonderful 'behind the scenes'! Wow, very impressive. And poor you: all the dusting and cleaning! Brrr... 😅 I live in Holland (the Netherlands) and I also recognized a lot of your Tupperware. We had the milkshake canister and that tall oblong one. And the big bowls with lids. In our kitchen my mum had sort of a rail/branch hanging, on which you could click and store the lids by their little lip. And I recognize the comment too that they got tacky 😄.
Hi Linda! So great to hear from Holland! A couple times a year I get to dusting - it takes over a week to do it all and by the time I'm done it's almost ready for another round! I remember that rail that your could mount in a cabinet and the lids slid on and hung there by the lip! I actually might have one somewhere - I should look! Thanks!!
Thank you for such a fantastic collection! Your collection allows me to still enjoy all of the vintage items that I cherish and love! The best part is that I can just go to your channel and enjoy it all! I hope you know how valued and treasured you and your team are!
Wow Kevin! I would classify this video as "Cavalcade of Awesomeness!" You inspired me to find a mug tree (I found 2) and I have vintage mugs hanging on them in my kitchen! :)
I am almost at a loss for words. This collection is truly magnificent and has to be preserved for future generations to see how Americans lived in the post WWII era. If you are a boomer , either your mother or grandmother had so many things that are featured here. I saw piece after piece that I grew up with. If I ever get to Michigan, I hope I will be allowed to see this. Thank you.
Thanks, Fred! It's a lot of fun and a labor of love. I'm glad people see and identify things that connect them with their past and hopefully bring back some fond memories. The space is not open to the public, but if you ever end up in Michigan let me know. Thanks!
Hi Kevin, you did an excellent presentation behind the camera! That was a great video and it took me back to my youth remembering my mother using most of the Tupperware items you showed us. I have been collecting for years and I kind of stopped because I was raising my family and did not have so much time. Watching your channel, I got the bug again if I may say! I am collecting again, mostly dishes such as vintage Pyrex, American Limoges and so on. You are very lucky to have the space to display and enjoy all of these beautiful things. Again, thank you so much!
Hi Kevin - I think it's just awesome that you have compiled your collection in the way that you have. So often people collect things and store it away and don't enjoy what they have. You found a wonderful way to enjoy and for others to enjoy too. This video was a good viewing of what you have there, and is really cool! Love the old stuff - you see things and it brings smiles. Can't wait to visit in person - last summer we stopped in - but closed. Thanks for the share - Oh yes - the Tupperware display too was great - and your camera work went well. Later.
Hi Nancy! Glad you enjoy the videos and it is great to finally have everything out and (somewhat) organized so things can be seen and enjoyed. There's no fun in collecting things if you can't see and share them! Thanks so much!
I have little grandsons, and I think I will look for a vintage typewriter when they get to elementary age. I've been trying to think of old school skills I want them to learn, like a map, compass, etc. now.... to start the search
Wow I really do love vintage Tupperware it's one of my most favorite things that I have. I have several pieces of the millionaire line and I believe that was from the '40s and '50s but they are my best pieces and the lids are still good they're not cracked or anything and I use them pretty much on the daily. That's how good things were made way back when
Hi Brenda! The millionaire line is from the 50's and they are some of the earliest and best pieces of Tupperware. Glad to know you still use and enjoy them! Thanks!
If you could, you should add a 50s diner section. Maybe start with coffee, tea, muffins etc. Expand & have a little restaurant as well if you don't have already.
Loved this! ❤ Typewriters!! A LOT of your Tupperware products come back every now and then. The salt & pepper shakers are in the current catalog. The Hamburger Press was available for a short time this summer.
Wonderful! Using Jello for the popsicles instead of something like kool-aid keeps you from being able to suck all the sugar and flavor from the ice. I have seen a LOT of vintage Tupperware but never saw the canned ham container, so fun to see your collection of collections. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
Hi Mike! Glad you enjoyed the video! The jello flavored popsicles had a slightly gelatin texture to them and tasted so good on a hot summer's day! Thanks!
I can still remember taking the Tupperware Popsicles out of the freezer and warming them up with my hands, and squeezing them so that the stick wouldn't just pull out. 😂
In the early 60s my cousin was stationed in NY and met his wife from a nearby town Tupper Falls , yes the home of Tupperware ! Just as Tupperware , their marriage lasted forever . That company provided jobs in a rural town and changed lives . The American way !
My favorite piece of tupperware is my pickle castor from the 1970s. I love it. I graduated in 2000 and I took the last typing class offered at ,y high school my freshman year. I remember them all coming out and going into the storage room where they sat at least until I graduated
Hi Kevin! The pickle castor is a piece that I don't have. I see them from time to time, and they really were a good idea. No more trying to stab a pickle to get it out of the jar! Sounds like you had typing right when schools were transitioning away from using typewriters. We took typing in either 8th or 9th grade, now I can't remember, but we had manual Royal typewriters (I have the same model in my collection) and it was a favorite class of mine. The sound of 30 typewriters going at once! Thanks!
Hi Kevin You are amazing. I can’t imagine all the time and hard work you’ve put into your studio. The Tupperware tour was a trip down memory lane. I had and still do have so many of those pieces. My mother had even more than I did. I just wanted to say Thank you for taking the time to share all of your wonderful recipes and memories with everyone.
Love your store layout. Very well thought out. You are awesome to give the kids a hands-on fun experience w/the typewriters. Tupperware is the best. I would be in the LP section for hours. Great solo video .
Thank you for the tour. It was wonderful and brought back so many memories. Don't worry, you did a great job solo, but I can't help but wonder where Ralph is. Haven't seen him in the last 2 videos. Is he okay? Thanks again for all of the good memories.
Kevin, what you have there is a big ol' slice of the USA from the 50s to the 70s. I also collect a lot of the same stuff you do, but I don't have the nice place you have to display it all. My mom never liked Tupperware, but we did have the popsicle set and a pickle keeper. Mom liked Corning Ware and still uses it and I do too. I have lots of their Electromatic Percolators. Typewriters--I loved seeing them all. Do you have any electrics? I love the old IBM Executive models. Thanks for the tour and I look forward to more tours when you get the time.
Hi Jonathan! Glad you enjoyed the look at the vintage Tupperware! Corning Ware is always nice - I don't have a lot of it but I enjoy using the pieces I have. I only have a few electrics and they are IBM. I do have an Executive and then a couple of early Selectrics. I really collect manual typewriters because I can do most of the repairs/maintenance on them, and I love the idea that they don't require any power other than that which your fingers supply! Thanks!
The pedestal bowl is a serve it all. You can put chips or veggies in the plate. Dip in the pedestal part. The plate sits on the table pedistal sit inside the plate
I'm not sure, but I think that Tupperware blue saucer on the pedestal piece might be for a ring of cocktail shrimp. I could be wrong though. My mother had that little yellow creamer, the piece you picked up right before the blue saucer. I recognize soooo many of these items. 11:28 My mother had those same salt n pepper shakers. She had quite a bit of Tupperware. 15:44 Yep, my mother had a set of those popsicle makers too. She used to put apple juice in them. I loved them!
Back in the 1960s they had these restaurants that they called "supper clubs". One of the things that they did was give you a plain salad, and then brought out this 3,4 or 5 cup Lazy Susan with different salad dressing in each cup so you could choose your own dressing and how much you wanted on your salad. I think that is what those two 3 cup containers were for.
Hi Scooter! So swanky at the supper clubs! I remember my parents going to a few and it was a big night out! But what a great idea to bring an assortment of dressings to the table and let people help themselves! I may try that when we can have dinner parties once again. Thanks!
We used those three cup servers on picnics for burger toppings (mayo, catsup, mustard) or hot dog toppings ( catsup, relish, mustard, etc) Also they would have it on a casual buffet table (Tupperware never mixed with your china pieces!) with butter mints, nuts and candy coated almonds or what have you. Possibilities abounded.
I looked up the tupperware piece, apparently it's called a "Serve it all" And you could serve cakes, cookies, cracke, etc etc. It was meant as a 2 tierd service piece.
Hi John! Thanks for researching - good information on the Serve it All! Now I can see how it worked and it could be used for many different things. I had a hard time figuring it out! LOL!
@@cavalcadeoffood It was my pleasure :) I always enjoy all your videos and hope to make the pilgrimage out there one day. And yes, I'd never seen one before they are very unusual but very useful. Look forward to a new video Best and we'll wishes, John
Hi TJ - you know I've been searching for a vintage mannequin for sometime. You'd think they would be easy to come by but no. The ones I've found have been in pretty rough shape. Yes, it would be perfect for the display windows!
I have a lot of Tupperware from my mother. The yellow container you use for cream I use for artificial sugar. I am going to sell the perforated coaster set because it does not fit many drinking glasses anymore.
Wow where are you located... You have such a pristine store if I can call it a store.. you have so much stuff but it's so nice and organized and so neat and clean I love it... 😃❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Howdy, I think the stand thing might be a compote for fresh cut fruit at a bbq, or potluck. The Popsicle molds I remember. My mom used Zyrex syrup that came in different fruit flavors mixed with water in ice cube trays. Later she got the Popsicle molds. But we still loved the rectangle ice cubes from the metal ice cube trays. We wrapped them in paper towel to hold them, and then chew the paper towel to get all the melted juice out.
Wow, I had no idea you had such an expansive collection of typewriters. The kids love anything hands-on and interactive. Nice Tupperware collection. I have never seen the coasters or ham keeper. I just have the classic Velveeta and pickles keepers. My favorites were the caddies, the keepers, and just the variety. It would have been a fun marketing department to work in.
Hi bg147 - Tupperware really came up with some innovate products and ways to store and carry foods. When the kids come for field trips, they go crazy for the typewriters! Thanks!
My grandmother had tons of vintage Tupperware. I wish I still had her Tupperware but sadly it was all lost in hurricane Katrina and my uncle had my grandmother's home bulldozed before anyone could try to recover any of it out the home but also it was recommend by fema not to use any kind of dinnerware due to all containment in the mud and water in the home. Me and mother over the years have found some vintage Tupperware but nothing like the collection my grandmother had
Hi Corey - sorry you lost your grandmother's Tupperware collection with the hurricane. I still see vintage pieces regularly, I think they sold a lot of them during Tupperware's heyday.
My aunt used to have the Tupperware serving container that she used to bring a veggie tray and put it in there with the dip came with a hard cover. My mom never had them she used to say that was for rich people but Aunt had all the containers and stuff too bad she got rid of it all long time ago cause I would have used it.
Hi Wendolina 78 - those veggie containers like your aunt had were popular and very good. Tupperware was much more expensive than containers you could buy in stores, but they were very well made and lasted a long time. Thanks!
I remember typing class! The teacher put adhesive dots on the keys so we couldn’t see the characters. f-f-f space j-j-j space, Was most of your collection in storage before the Ben Franklin? I loved your tour! Kevin!
Hi Peggy!! We did the same typing drills! LOL! I have a few "teaching" typewriters where the keys are all blank. These were used to teach the touch-typing method. Yes, I rented space in a warehouse for many years to keep everything. I had hundred of boxes to unpack! Thanks!
@@cavalcadeoffood I'm sure glad you enjoy sharing your collections because I sure enjoy seeing them. What you said about the colors of Tupperware dating it was spot on! . . . I'm STILL stuck in the 70s earthtones ! Great video (even without Ralph.....but dont tell him!) ;-) Thanks for sharing.
Oh what fun that was! Google is telling me that piece is called Tupperware 3 Piece "Serve-It-All" Pedestal Cake Pie Snacks Serving Stand. There’s one being sold on Amazon. I’ve never, ever seen that before. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
So happy to see a Tupperware video. I went through my thrift stash boxes and found large yellow and an orange canister. Later in shopping I have found matching covered bowls and colanders, and deviled eggs containers. I love these because the colors work with my Merry Mushroom and Spice of Life collections. So the yellow and particularly the Orange are going to be my "pop" color accent in my kitchen. How do I fix a warped bowl lid, and how do I get a funny odor out of a container? The container has an odor like Play Doh and washing tones it down briefly, but it returns.
You can try making a paste with baking soda and water and spreading it inside the bowl, put the lid on and let it sit for a day or so. Sometimes that helps take the odor down. That smell is the plastic and as it ages it seems to give off that odor.

I could spend the rest of my life in this place.
Dan - OK but I'm going to put you in charge of dusting! LOL! Thanks!!
me too. :-) oh the fun that could be had!
The tour and you explaining your various collections was fun!!!!! I love your channel!!!!!!!!!!
Loved the Tupperware display. Have most of it. Thanks
Thank you for the tour. So fascinating. Wish you would create a cookbook of your favorite and most requested recipes. I would so buy it
Hi Cindy! Glad you liked the tour! I'd love to do a cookbook one of these days - it might have to wait until I retire, but I'd love to put all the recipes we've done in a book. Thanks!
We still have several Tupperware pieces from the late 60's. We have (and still cherish) the S &P shakers, the three container caddy which my mom still uses for tea, sugar and sweetener, the large and medium burping containers in opaque clear with a seal embossed on the top, and a small rectangular container that she has used for brown sugar since it was purchased at a Tupperware party back then. I always wished she would take me to a Tupperware party back then, I might have been 7 years old or so. I figured those parties must have been so hip with ladies in curled hair, bell bottoms and lots of floral designs. They were probably drinking wine!
Hi TuckerSP2011! Sounds like you have some great vintage Tupperware pieces and glad to hear you are still using them. I was at a Tupperware party years ago and there was a giant bar set up in the dining room! I think the idea is that people order more after a couple of drinks! LOL! Thanks!
“Holy Moly Typewriters Batman!!!” Oh my... these bring back so many memories! I think I’ve used All of them Lol! Oh WOW did I see Charlie Chip cans? My mom had one of those on top of our hutch for years! Tupperware...oh yes... I got a ton of this stuff when I first got married... still have it til this day! This was so Fun!
Hi Lady Thyme! Yes, I have a few of the Charles Chips cans - good memories! Glad you enjoyed the tour! Thanks!
Visiting Calvalcade is officially on my bucket list! That pedestal - my mom had one and I believe it was called a Serve-it-all. The top tray becomes the bottom - and the "pedestal" flips over and fits into the center of the tray and might hold a dip and around it would be crudite or something like. You can also use the large top lid for an additional serving tray... pretty sure that's what you've got there.
Hi June! Thanks so much for the information on the pedestal piece! I just wasn't sure what role all the pieces played and how it all worked together. What you describe makes a lot of sense and I see how it how it could be used for a number of different things! Thank you!!
I was coming here to say that. :) My nana had one, and that was how she used it.
My mom called it a shrimp cocktail server. Shrimp around the top. Cocktail sauce in that middle and ice in the bottom
Hello Kevin. The blue Tupperware piece I believe is used as a portable veggie plate with a veggie dip storage that you place in the centre. I remember seeing these at picnics back in the day. We would just keep refilling the veggie dip holder as needed. Honestly you could use it for anything that requires a dip. Thanks for sharing all of your treasures. I would love to one day visit your museum.
Hi Terenia! This makes sense! It seemed like it was multiple pieces but I wasn't sure what exactly Tupperware designed it for! I'll have to try it out next time I'm asked to bring veggies and dip to a get together! Thanks!!
The pedestal holds 7 fluid ounces on one side and flip it over for 12 fluid ounces of dip. It's supposed to come with a clear plastic lid to keep it fresh while you wait for people to arrive.
I LOVE THIS!! Born in the early '60's, I recognize all the old tupperware--the pastel bowls and glasses. My mom had all of it--even those individual jello molds and canned ham keeper. (As a child, I thought it was for a whole chicken.) It did my nostalgic heart good to see the things I remember so well..
Hi Rebecca - I'm glad it brought back memories of the pieces your mom had! Thanks!
Thank you Kevin for thinking about your viewers and fans!! I was rather disappointed yesterday when I didn't see a notification on my phone, but like I say... good things are worth waiting for!!
Your collection simply amazes me! Your devotion to saving and honoring the heritage of food culture is a wonderful treasure! You are also saving and honoring memories that your viewers hold dear to their hearts. Thank you Kevin, Ralph and Maryann for your hard work and bringing back fond memories!!
I never realized how much Tupperware was such a large part of my childhood. I recognized every piece of Tupperware you had from my mom's kitchen!! The three piece container you had with the handle in the middle was considered a relish tray at our house! My mom would put black olives, baby dills and radishes in it for every huge dinner we ever had. She would just pop the tops back on and store it in the fridge.
Take care!! Be well!!
Hi Greg! Glad you enjoyed the video! This is a busy and hectic time for me with work and it was difficult to find some spare time this week, but I often feel that the collection is something that people like to see, so thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed it. Doesn't that old Tupperware take you back? I can just see that relish tray filled with all those goodies! A really great design and practical. I think that was what made Tupperware so successful. Thanks so much!
@@cavalcadeoffood ... guess what? That vintage Tupperware 3 piece container set with the handle in the middle is now mine! We went through the last batch of my parents things and I got it! I also got their 1950's era chrome Sunbeam Coffemaster automatic percolating coffee maker! It must have been a wedding gift, but I don't think it was ever really used! The inside is spotless, the basket had no stains, just pristine! I remember my mom always made coffee in a stove top percolater pot. I can still see the egg shells in the grounds! So I don't think she ever used it much. Pretty exciting! You need to do a tour of your vintage coffee pots!!!
Take care!
You r my new favorite channel! LOV your things!!
I think this store is the sidedoor to Heaven!
Thanks, Ms Howell - glad you enjoyed!
As you were walking through the records, I could smell them! ❤
Thanks - there is that certain smell of old records!
Gosh, this brings back SO many memories! 🥲
What an incredible space. I could spend hours just looking at all of your goodies!
Thanks so much for watching!!
Me too!🙂
Wow just amazing. All those things I grew up with-haven't seen in a while, are becoming more rare. I love that kids get to step into your beautifully displayed time machine.
Thanks so much!
wow you got some great records
Thanks Gary!
thank you for the tour of your place. very nice TOO SEE
You're welcome!
Wow it was so good to have a look around ‘Cavalcade’ with you today. I collect vintage Tupperware too so it was great to see your collection! It always amazes me what you have created, truly amazing!
Hi Ian - thanks! Glad you could come along with me! Always good to meet another Tupperware collector!
I love my vintage Tupper ware. I swear by the quality, and like you say lovely bright colours and mix and match. Today's rubbish doesn't last five minutes
The old Tupperware was really made to last. Thanks!
I just wish I could get new lids for the flour/sugar set I received as a wedding present. I have tried contacting Tupperware, but no luck.
I enjoy using vintage Tupperware items...💯✔️
It's amazing how well the Tupperware held up over the years. Thanks
My grandmother (b. Jan. 1910) had lots and lots of Tupperware. I remember tumblers, salt and pepper shakers, and bowls with lids, all in pastels. One thing she bought a lot of was Tupperware, Princess House, and Avon. 😂
We have a Ben Franklin still in my hometown of Duncanville Tx. It's a really beautiful building. I loved going to Ben Franklin as a kid they had these blow up and even plastic barbie furniture and playsets and that was my jam.
Hi Desire! How lucky that your hometown still has a Ben Franklin store!! Such wonderful places - and even better with the Barbie furniture!! Thanks!
This was so cool. I recently pulled all my Tupperware out to sort it all on my dining room table, which was stacked everywhere. So many of the things you were showing and some others too. Thank you for showing all this loved “stuff”!
OMG! I bought one of those Tupperware popsicle makers for my daughter! I made popsicles with it all the time. 😊
Best yet.
Thanks - glad you enjoyed!
just wow, i thought i was a cook book hoarder and you are my kind of person! I collect them. I have my grandma's old chrome Formica table in beige and i love that thing, i used to make biscuits as a child on that table. She had the vintage house 1940's and all the same stuff all her life. My mother got rid of a lot of it unfortunately and she never saw the value in any of it. But I love to see all your things, all your collections. I also collected a ton of albums like you. I don't have as much due to room but i have a lot and i got on a pottery phase where I was collecting before the craze hit of vintage and got some Russell Wright plates, pitchers, creamers, Eva Z pottery, and i also collected mid century pottery... niloak, pigeon forge pottery, ramsbottom, weller etc etc. You have the same love for things I do. My grandfather was a typewritier repairman in Chicago and he had these drum barrels filled with chemicals that cleaned the parts and it was very interesting. Keep on showing us all your collections, I really am fascinated.
Hi Jenny - sounds like you have a nice collection of things - especially your nice pottery collection! Thanks!
I¡m really enjoying your videos. There are copies of things I haven't seen since I was a kid. That's been awhile because I’m now 78 years old.
Wow! A Pioneer PL-630 turntable! I had one in the 1980’s and gave it to my Dad & his wife in the 1990’s. I wish now that I’d kept it. Best Pioneer turntable ever!
Hi wmmalden! That old turntable has played a million records! Still sounds pretty good! Thanks!
That is a great tour. One thing about many of the older Tupperware containers is many of the lids, especially the clear ones would shrink, warp and get gummy over time. The little square containers I used to have a bunch, some in clear, some in tan, and some in the turquoise lids that were often difficult to remove once on, but were great for smaller servings of leftovers. The clear ones (I had a pink version with a clear lid) that the lid went bad on so had to discard, the others with the tan or turquoise lids, they got so difficult that they'd eventually split and had to use a bottle opener to pry the lids off. Most of those my mother once had.
Those semi square containers and the canister sets were of the press and seal sets that came out I think in the mid to late 60's and were prevalent throughout the 70's and 80's. I used to have the pitchers, though they were from Rubbermaid, an older orange/yellow one, a teal blue/green one that I bought in I think the 80's or early 90's and a brown one that had the ribs along the sides of the pitcher.
A lot of the time, they held orange juice in them, you know, the concentrate from cans. :-)
My Mom used to have those salt and pepper shakers set for many years. They eventually became part of the picnic set.
Have to agree, this past year has through everyone for a loop, me included.
BTW, that creamer pitcher in yellow. I have its light blue sugar container companion. For years, it was at good friend's beach cabin out on the Washington coast, located north of Ocean Shores and when they redid their cabin to rent out, he gave it to me, and I use it mostly to sugar my coffee in the mornings.
Hi John! I've only had one lid (Tupperware calls them "seals") start to break down and shrink. What I've done is I store these with the lids on them. It takes up more room this way - most of them were made to nest so as to take up less space - but keeping the lids on keeps the lids formed properly and prevents shrinking. My mom used to make that OJ that came as frozen concentrate in the can - we always had it with breakfast. Somewhere I think I have the sugar container for that little yellow creamer, but it's a great little pitcher. Thanks so much!
I kept a large plastic lid (10-12”?)for years. I thought it went with an old bowl I had. I was surprised to see one day that it was an old Tupperware lid that must have come with my Mom’s belongings. She had been a big fan of Tupperware! For sentimental reasons I set about looking for the item number and finding the correct bottom for it and scoured ebay for the best price (same diameter and about 2.5” tall). I felt so satisfied that I finally had the complete piece! I put it in the cupboard until I had a need for it. Soon after when I moved it to get to something else, I was horrified to see my Mom’s lid had split apart! Maybe the lid had dried too much to be able to handle the tight seal? All the effort to make the piece useful again was wasted! I donated the bottom!😂🤣
Ohhhh Kevin! What a glorious place! I can’t wait to come out and visit you when all this “crap” is thru! It looks fantastic! I wish I lived closer I’d love to help you catelog the records! What a load of fun!!! The Tupperware tour was great and I can’t wait to find out what those pedestal things are! I can’t imagine...??? As I mentioned before I have the salt and pepper shakers too as well as the jiffy sifter thanks to seeing yours on the show ❤️❤️
Was a great tour and perfect way to start my long day of vaccinating.... hope you are well!
Hugs!
Jeff xo
Hi Jeff!! Looks like that Tupperware piece was for veggies and dip. I'll have to try it out!! Good luck vaccinating - thank you so much for helping people during this crazy time!! Stay safe!!
@@cavalcadeoffood It's called a "Serve-it-all" tray. For cakes, cupcakes, pies, chips and dip, vegetables and dip. Per Ebay listing. I had to look it up. Love the Tupperware.! I don't have much, but I swear my mother had about everything from the 60's. Don't know whatever happened to it all?
My mom used Kool-aid to make the Tupperware ice pops! Thanks for the trip down memory lane... I love all your vintage "x" videos. Your passion for collecting definitely transcends through.
Thanks, Wiki Sparky! Glad the video took you back!!
I like Kevin's idea of using Jello. Maybe you could make popsicles that did not drip.
I hope one day to visit & experience wonderful nostalgia. I'd enjoy browsing the cookbooks section so much & it's wonderful you collect handwritten recipes.
Hi corrinna - I hope to be open to the public one of these days. After I retire I'll have more time to devote to my fun hobby!
My wife was preparing a meal the other day and pulled out the a green shredder tray exactly like that one. We have had it for years from her mothers time. It preformed perfectly. So many of these items I can remember my mother having and enjoying using. Thank you for these tours. Very enjoyable.
Hi Dean! Sounds like your Tupperware shredder is still going strong! Glad you enjoyed the tour! Thanks!
I have the yellow measuring cups and use them all the time. The cereal bowls-I almost forgot about them! Many fond memories of those popsicles (mom used Kool-Aid). I had the lime green cannister set. I would love to get my hands on a yellow set! :) I love the way people call all the cheapo plastic containers "Tupperware!" LOL! Eh, no its not!
Hi Going Slightly Mad! We ate cereal out of bowls like that when we were kids! Weren't those homemade popsicles great? I loved the ones mom used to make. Yes, funny how generic the word "Tupperware" has become, but these pieces are of very high quality, which is probably why they are still around. Not anything like the dollar store stuff. Thanks!
I had totally forgotten about those hamburger formers! My mom used to turn out what seemed like hundreds of those for our family picnics in the summer. Thanks for the memories!
Hi John! You're welcome! I've used those patty formers and they work well. All the burgers are the same size so they all cook at the same time and no one complains that they got a smaller one!! LOL! Sounds like your mom put hers to good use!
Tupperware brought those back over the summer for a short time! I grabbed a set for myself and my family.
The Hamburger Press was available this summer for a short time.
Because there are so many products, Tupperware brings classics back for a season every so often.
Your tour brought back so many memories of my mom's kitchen with the Tupperware. I also enjoyed seeing the typewriters. My dad used to buy typewriters at yard sales, repair them, and then resell them. It was his hobby after he retired. How fun it would be to spend an afternoon looking at all your collections. 😊
Hi Patricia! Glad the video brought back some memories. I think a lot of us connect with that old Tupperware. Like your dad, finding old typewriters and fixing them up has been a hobby of mine for many years. I find my time working on those beautiful old machines to be some of the most relaxing! Thanks!
@@cavalcadeoffood - Dad found it relaxing and fun as well. When he passed in 2005 I think he had about a dozen in the spare bedroom that he had restored. He also restored the big, typewriter-sized adding machines. We found about 10 of those tucked away in cabinets on the patio. 😉
My grandmother used the canned ham container for potato salad. I have a hand written recipe of hers where she illustrated the way she decorated the top with celery, pimento and sliced egg and made it look like a flower w/stems.
Hi BlindMellowNellie! That canned ham container is pretty large, so your grandmother had plenty of potato salad for the crowd! Cherish that handwritten recipe - I'll bet it looked beautiful with her decorations on the top! Those are the kinds of details that make things so special! Thanks for sharing that memory!
Hi Kevin, what a wonderful 'behind the scenes'! Wow, very impressive. And poor you: all the dusting and cleaning! Brrr... 😅
I live in Holland (the Netherlands) and I also recognized a lot of your Tupperware. We had the milkshake canister and that tall oblong one. And the big bowls with lids. In our kitchen my mum had sort of a rail/branch hanging, on which you could click and store the lids by their little lip. And I recognize the comment too that they got tacky 😄.
Hi Linda! So great to hear from Holland! A couple times a year I get to dusting - it takes over a week to do it all and by the time I'm done it's almost ready for another round! I remember that rail that your could mount in a cabinet and the lids slid on and hung there by the lip! I actually might have one somewhere - I should look! Thanks!!
Thank you for such a fantastic collection! Your collection allows me to still enjoy all of the vintage items that I cherish and love! The best part is that I can just go to your channel and enjoy it all! I hope you know how valued and treasured you and your team are!
Thanks so much, Mama Louise! I'm so glad you enjoy the collections - it is a pleasure to be able to share them with you!
Wow Kevin! I would classify this video as "Cavalcade of Awesomeness!" You inspired me to find a mug tree (I found 2) and I have vintage mugs hanging on them in my kitchen! :)
Yes, you need a mug tree!! I know they still make them new, or get a vintage one to go with your mugs. Fun!
I am almost at a loss for words. This collection is truly magnificent and has to be preserved for future generations to see how Americans lived in the post WWII era. If you are a boomer , either your mother or grandmother had so many things that are featured here. I saw piece after piece that I grew up with. If I ever get to Michigan, I hope I will be allowed to see this. Thank you.
Thanks, Fred! It's a lot of fun and a labor of love. I'm glad people see and identify things that connect them with their past and hopefully bring back some fond memories. The space is not open to the public, but if you ever end up in Michigan let me know. Thanks!
Another great tour. Your videos always make my day! 💛🌈 💙
Thanks, Elizabeth! You comment made my day!
🤩 what a fun store!
Hi Kevin, you did an excellent presentation behind the camera! That was a great video and it took me back to my youth remembering my mother using most of the Tupperware items you showed us. I have been collecting for years and I kind of stopped because I was raising my family and did not have so much time. Watching your channel, I got the bug again if I may say! I am collecting again, mostly dishes such as vintage Pyrex, American Limoges and so on. You are very lucky to have the space to display and enjoy all of these beautiful things. Again, thank you so much!
Hi Lucy! Thanks so much and glad to hear that you now have time to enjoy collecting again - especially things like vintage Pyrex! Have fun!!
Hi Kevin - I think it's just awesome that you have compiled your collection in the way that you have. So often people collect things and store it away and don't enjoy what they have. You found a wonderful way to enjoy and for others to enjoy too. This video was a good viewing of what you have there, and is really cool! Love the old stuff - you see things and it brings smiles. Can't wait to visit in person - last summer we stopped in - but closed. Thanks for the share - Oh yes - the Tupperware display too was great - and your camera work went well. Later.
Hi Nancy! Glad you enjoy the videos and it is great to finally have everything out and (somewhat) organized so things can be seen and enjoyed. There's no fun in collecting things if you can't see and share them! Thanks so much!
You have done such great work with this space. WOw! Always enjoy the tours (and the cooking).
Thanks, Tom! Glad you enjoy the videos!
I have little grandsons, and I think I will look for a vintage typewriter when they get to elementary age. I've been trying to think of old school skills I want them to learn, like a map, compass, etc. now.... to start the search
Hi Christina! Your grandsons will enjoy using a typewriter! Whenever I get kids visiting they love to use them!
You made my day with this video
I'm so glad - thanks for watching!
How about Kool-Aid for the popsicle. I think that's the way we made them. Another great video Kevin
Yep, I was going to say that too.
Hi Beryl!! Kool-Aid works great for making popsicles and has so many fun flavors, too! Hope all is well with you!
Wow I really do love vintage Tupperware it's one of my most favorite things that I have. I have several pieces of the millionaire line and I believe that was from the '40s and '50s but they are my best pieces and the lids are still good they're not cracked or anything and I use them pretty much on the daily. That's how good things were made way back when
Hi Brenda! The millionaire line is from the 50's and they are some of the earliest and best pieces of Tupperware. Glad to know you still use and enjoy them! Thanks!
The Blue Cake Plate had a spot to take Ice Cream with you. I vaguely rem a sales lady saying that was the design for taking cake to card parties. 💅🏻
Thanks, MsHowell! It never occurred to me that you could do a cake and ice cream combination with that piece - great idea!!
Your collections are amazing I have a Tupperware collection I love the iceberg lettuce keeper
Thank you, Maria! The lettuce keeper was always a favorite piece.
Your favorite Kool-Aid would be a perfect popsicle back in the day 🤗❤️
Yes - the Kool Aid made great popsicles! Thanks!
I have a service for 8 in the Metlox Sculptured Grape. Your collection is the first I have seen other than mine.
Hi Tom - that's a great pattern!
I have watched most of your videos from the Cavalcade studio and am always amazed by your collections. Would love to visit there sometime.
Thanks, Gary! Glad you enjoy the collections. Let me know if you are ever in the area!
@@cavalcadeoffood Maybe once this pandemic is over and the border opens again! :-)
If you could, you should add a 50s diner section. Maybe start with coffee, tea, muffins etc. Expand & have a little restaurant as well if you don't have already.
Hi corrinna! thanks for the idea! Maybe someday after I retire I can have a little cafe. Thanks!
Loved this! ❤ Typewriters!!
A LOT of your Tupperware products come back every now and then. The salt & pepper shakers are in the current catalog. The Hamburger Press was available for a short time this summer.
Thanks, Patti! I didn't know the hamburger press made a return!
Wonderful! Using Jello for the popsicles instead of something like kool-aid keeps you from being able to suck all the sugar and flavor from the ice. I have seen a LOT of vintage Tupperware but never saw the canned ham container, so fun to see your collection of collections. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
Hi Mike! Glad you enjoyed the video! The jello flavored popsicles had a slightly gelatin texture to them and tasted so good on a hot summer's day! Thanks!
I can still remember taking the Tupperware Popsicles out of the freezer and warming them up with my hands, and squeezing them so that the stick wouldn't just pull out. 😂
That was a good trick! We used to run the mold under the faucet for a few seconds to loosen it up. Thanks!
In the early 60s my cousin was stationed in NY and met his wife from a nearby town Tupper Falls , yes the home of Tupperware ! Just as Tupperware , their marriage lasted forever . That company provided jobs in a rural town and changed lives . The American way !
Hi lightmarker - what a great story! Thanks!
I always feel like a kid again when I watch this channel-thank you Kevin!
Hi Marilyn! You're welcome - glad these bring back fond memories! Thanks for watching!
I just found this channel, I love it...looking at the Tupperware popsickle maker, I think they used kool-aid to freeze
Hi Betty - glad you found us! Yes, you could make popsicles out of Kool Aid with these molds. Thanks!
My favorite piece of tupperware is my pickle castor from the 1970s. I love it. I graduated in 2000 and I took the last typing class offered at ,y high school my freshman year. I remember them all coming out and going into the storage room where they sat at least until I graduated
Hi Kevin! The pickle castor is a piece that I don't have. I see them from time to time, and they really were a good idea. No more trying to stab a pickle to get it out of the jar! Sounds like you had typing right when schools were transitioning away from using typewriters. We took typing in either 8th or 9th grade, now I can't remember, but we had manual Royal typewriters (I have the same model in my collection) and it was a favorite class of mine. The sound of 30 typewriters going at once! Thanks!
Hi Kevin You are amazing. I can’t imagine all the time and hard work you’ve put into your studio. The Tupperware tour was a trip down memory lane. I had and still do have so many of those pieces. My mother had even more than I did. I just wanted to say Thank you for taking the time to share all of your wonderful recipes and memories with everyone.
Hi Bonnie - it is my pleasure! Glad the vintage Tupperware brought back some memories - thanks so much for watching!
Love your store layout. Very well thought out. You are awesome to give the kids a hands-on fun experience w/the typewriters. Tupperware is the best. I would be in the LP section for hours. Great solo video .
Thank you for the tour. It was wonderful and brought back so many memories. Don't worry, you did a great job solo, but I can't help but wonder where Ralph is. Haven't seen him in the last 2 videos. Is he okay? Thanks again for all of the good memories.
Hi Sarah! Glad you enjoyed the video! Ralph is doing well - he's busy working on things but he'll be back! Thanks!
Oh my hey now wait a minute do I see a Westinghouse Riviera Hubba Hubba
Hi RugbyFootballer! No, that's a Westinghouse MobileAire. Helps keep the place cool in the summer. Thanks!
Wonderlier and Servelier bowls!
Hi TJ - love this old Tupperware! Still going strong!
Pure Americana and nostalgia! Way to go Kevin!
Thanks, Joseph! Glad you enjoyed the video!
The cup at 13: 56 made an excellent to go coffee mug
I'll bet it would be good for a coffee mug on the go! Thanks!
Kevin, what you have there is a big ol' slice of the USA from the 50s to the 70s. I also collect a lot of the same stuff you do, but I don't have the nice place you have to display it all. My mom never liked Tupperware, but we did have the popsicle set and a pickle keeper. Mom liked Corning Ware and still uses it and I do too. I have lots of their Electromatic Percolators. Typewriters--I loved seeing them all. Do you have any electrics? I love the old IBM Executive models. Thanks for the tour and I look forward to more tours when you get the time.
Hi Jonathan! Glad you enjoyed the look at the vintage Tupperware! Corning Ware is always nice - I don't have a lot of it but I enjoy using the pieces I have. I only have a few electrics and they are IBM. I do have an Executive and then a couple of early Selectrics. I really collect manual typewriters because I can do most of the repairs/maintenance on them, and I love the idea that they don't require any power other than that which your fingers supply! Thanks!
The pedestal bowl is a serve it all. You can put chips or veggies in the plate. Dip in the pedestal part. The plate sits on the table pedistal sit inside the plate
Thanks so much for letting me know!
I'm not sure, but I think that Tupperware blue saucer on the pedestal piece might be for a ring of cocktail shrimp. I could be wrong though. My mother had that little yellow creamer, the piece you picked up right before the blue saucer. I recognize soooo many of these items.
11:28 My mother had those same salt n pepper shakers. She had quite a bit of Tupperware.
15:44 Yep, my mother had a set of those popsicle makers too. She used to put apple juice in them. I loved them!
Hi Moon Bear! Sounds like you have a lot of good memories of your mom's Tupperware! Glad the video reminded you of those great old pieces! Thanks!
Sitting here listening to you just so amazing so awesome you have such a love for what you do and it shows I wish I was there... 😃❤️
Thank you so much!
Back in the 1960s they had these restaurants that they called "supper clubs". One of the things that they did was give you a plain salad, and then brought out this 3,4 or 5 cup Lazy Susan with different salad dressing in each cup so you could choose your own dressing and how much you wanted on your salad. I think that is what those two 3 cup containers were for.
Hi Scooter! So swanky at the supper clubs! I remember my parents going to a few and it was a big night out! But what a great idea to bring an assortment of dressings to the table and let people help themselves! I may try that when we can have dinner parties once again. Thanks!
We used those three cup servers on picnics for burger toppings (mayo, catsup, mustard) or hot dog toppings ( catsup, relish, mustard, etc) Also they would have it on a casual buffet table (Tupperware never mixed with your china pieces!) with butter mints, nuts and candy coated almonds or what have you. Possibilities abounded.
I looked up the tupperware piece, apparently it's called a "Serve it all"
And you could serve cakes, cookies, cracke, etc etc. It was meant as a 2 tierd service piece.
Hi John! Thanks for researching - good information on the Serve it All! Now I can see how it worked and it could be used for many different things. I had a hard time figuring it out! LOL!
@@cavalcadeoffood
It was my pleasure :)
I always enjoy all your videos and hope to make the pilgrimage out there one day.
And yes, I'd never seen one before they are very unusual but very useful. Look forward to a new video
Best and we'll wishes, John
What's needed for your typing class window display is a vintage mannequin that you can dress as a typing teacher!
Hi TJ - you know I've been searching for a vintage mannequin for sometime. You'd think they would be easy to come by but no. The ones I've found have been in pretty rough shape. Yes, it would be perfect for the display windows!
I have a lot of Tupperware from my mother. The yellow container you use for cream I use for artificial sugar. I am going to sell the perforated coaster set because it does not fit many drinking glasses anymore.
Thanks - nice that you have some of your mom's vintage Tupperware!
do you collect old lunch boxes? i like the old radios
Hi Gary - no I don't collect lunchboxes but I always enjoy seeing them. Thanks!
AS A VINTAGE LOVER THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY.
Hi Miss Katz! Glad to make you happy!! Thanks!
I could spend days in that marvelous place! It is somewhere we could visit?
Wow where are you located... You have such a pristine store if I can call it a store.. you have so much stuff but it's so nice and organized and so neat and clean I love it... 😃❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you - I'm in Michigan. It's taken a long time to get things in order...still working on it!
Oh, I thought you were a store. Wow that’s just your collection!😀❤️
This is what happens after 40 years of collecting stuff! Thanks, DD Waters!
Howdy, I think the stand thing might be a compote for fresh cut fruit at a bbq, or potluck. The Popsicle molds I remember. My mom used Zyrex syrup that came in different fruit flavors mixed with water in ice cube trays. Later she got the Popsicle molds. But we still loved the rectangle ice cubes from the metal ice cube trays. We wrapped them in paper towel to hold them, and then chew the paper towel to get all the melted juice out.
Hi Longhairbear! Thanks - great memory of your mom making homemade flavored ice!! I'll bet they were a real treat!
Wow, I had no idea you had such an expansive collection of typewriters. The kids love anything hands-on and interactive. Nice Tupperware collection. I have never seen the coasters or ham keeper. I just have the classic Velveeta and pickles keepers. My favorites were the caddies, the keepers, and just the variety. It would have been a fun marketing department to work in.
Hi bg147 - Tupperware really came up with some innovate products and ways to store and carry foods. When the kids come for field trips, they go crazy for the typewriters! Thanks!
@@cavalcadeoffood That "Ham Keeper" also worked well for leftover turkey until you had time to take it apart and put the skeleton in the soup pot.
What a treasure trove 😍 love it!
Thanks, Barbara! Glad you enjoyed the video!
You snap the pedestal in the middle and the little tray becomes the veggies and dip platter from the 80s style
Thanks for letting me know!
My grandmother had tons of vintage Tupperware. I wish I still had her Tupperware but sadly it was all lost in hurricane Katrina and my uncle had my grandmother's home bulldozed before anyone could try to recover any of it out the home but also it was recommend by fema not to use any kind of dinnerware due to all containment in the mud and water in the home. Me and mother over the years have found some vintage Tupperware but nothing like the collection my grandmother had
Hi Corey - sorry you lost your grandmother's Tupperware collection with the hurricane. I still see vintage pieces regularly, I think they sold a lot of them during Tupperware's heyday.
My aunt used to have the Tupperware serving container that she used to bring a veggie tray and put it in there with the dip came with a hard cover. My mom never had them she used to say that was for rich people but Aunt had all the containers and stuff too bad she got rid of it all long time ago cause I would have used it.
Hi Wendolina 78 - those veggie containers like your aunt had were popular and very good. Tupperware was much more expensive than containers you could buy in stores, but they were very well made and lasted a long time. Thanks!
Wow!!!
Hi Alison - glad you enjoyed!
Is Cavalcade a museum or a store? Do you sell the items?
Hi Don - it's really more of a museum, but really a studio. I don't sell anything and the building is not open to the public. Thanks!
All you need is some maytag wringers and your collection will be completed.
Well, washers and dryers are more than I think I can handle! LOL! Thanks!
I remember typing class! The teacher put adhesive dots on the keys so we couldn’t see the characters. f-f-f space j-j-j space, Was most of your collection in storage before the Ben Franklin? I loved your tour! Kevin!
Hi Peggy!! We did the same typing drills! LOL! I have a few "teaching" typewriters where the keys are all blank. These were used to teach the touch-typing method. Yes, I rented space in a warehouse for many years to keep everything. I had hundred of boxes to unpack! Thanks!

I'm sure glad you enjoy sharing your collections because I sure enjoy seeing them. What you said about the colors of Tupperware dating it was spot on! . . . I'm STILL stuck in the 70s earthtones !
Great video (even without Ralph.....but dont tell him!) ;-) Thanks for sharing.
Oh what fun that was! Google is telling me that piece is called Tupperware 3 Piece "Serve-It-All" Pedestal Cake Pie Snacks Serving Stand. There’s one being sold on Amazon. I’ve never, ever seen that before. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hi Jane! Thanks for tracking it down! I wasn't quite able to figure that one out, but now I know!! Glad you enjoyed the tour!!
The Peace and intrigued me and I looked it up. Cool idea.
So happy to see a Tupperware video. I went through my thrift stash boxes and found large yellow and an orange canister. Later in shopping I have found matching covered bowls and colanders, and deviled eggs containers. I love these because the colors work with my Merry Mushroom and Spice of Life collections. So the yellow and particularly the Orange are going to be my "pop" color accent in my kitchen. How do I fix a warped bowl lid, and how do I get a funny odor out of a container? The container has an odor like Play Doh and washing tones it down briefly, but it returns.
You can try making a paste with baking soda and water and spreading it inside the bowl, put the lid on and let it sit for a day or so. Sometimes that helps take the odor down. That smell is the plastic and as it ages it seems to give off that odor.
Some of the older Tupperware have BPA in them. I used to have tons of Tupperware. I enjoyed them all.
this store was perfect for you to buy
Hi babs! It worked out well as a place for the collection and the studio. Thanks so much!

Koolaid!! Popsicles💛🎉
Weren't these great? Thanks!
Ice Tups!
Is that what they were called? I figured that they must have had an official name. Thanks!
I feel like you would love the tv show "At Home with Amy Sedaris" It's hilarious and has an aesthetic that would fit right in at Cavalcade!
Hi activatedcharcoal! I do watch that show and love it! Amy Sedaris is hilarious! Thanks!!
@@cavalcadeoffood That's so great! My dream was for her to do an episode of the show from your store
Do you have a selection of old metal desk fans? I have always been mesmerized by those. Also, WHERE is this place??
I have just a couple of old desk fans. I'm in Michigan. Thanks!
