    Still unearthing stuff from forgotten boxes... I unpacked these yesterday: 3 white ceramic corn-on-the-cob dishes, marked MADE IN USA but nothing else.

    The closest I found to these are for sale here:
    https://www.onekingslane.com/p/4840...kGVKjjLT3YE2FsYZvaYaAlRjEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

    The ones listed there are also marked METLOX, and the seller offers some info about age (1910-1950) etc.

    Can anyone confirm that info or provide correct info with regard to the 3 I have?

    Thank you SO much! I appreciate any and all input!

    Thanks, Aqui!
    The thing is, mine don't SAY Metlox - so I'm just wondering if they are...

    SO, @SBSVC, I took the back of yours and tried the same think.....on the left there is "practically" nothing there, BUT there IS SOMETHING there.... and look at the three 'dots'/marks over in/on the words MADE IN USA....so SIMILAR to the ones from "onekingslane.com" where I got the 'METLOX mark.....I'd put my money on them being the same, but I know y'all like better proof!! If you have 3 of them....is there one with a better imprint?

    The detailing on the front of yours looks identical to the Metlox.

    You say the seller of the Metlox says 1910 - 1950s.
    Wonder where they got that info. 1910 seems too early. Metlox started in 1934 and closed in 1989.

    To me those look like the kind of things sold in the 1970s at Sears, Montgomery Wards, etc. Wonder if they would have contracted with Metlox.

    Thanks, Aqui, Necollectors, and Cluttered! Sorry to be one of those "post & run" types - I had something unexpected come up and had to go.

    I have now concluded that these are indeed METLOX, despite the fact that the METLOX name is not embossed or incised on them... Apparently, they weren't always marked as such. Here's another set (different colorway) also missing the METLOX name:

    They're from the Poppytrail COLORSTAX line, made ca.1983-86.

    They have them in some of the COLORSTAX colors on Replacements, and also show some here:

    Thanks again, everybody!
