![]() Your circa-1940s casserole would probably be worth $25 to $50. They are not as desirable with collectors and can easily be distinguished from the Shawnee Pottery pieces. ![]() Several other potteries jumped on the bandwagon and made similar corn-inspired dinnerware. Not all pieces were marked some had only paper labels, and some were marked with "U.S.A." The early pieces are in more demand with collectors than the late "Corn Queen" line. The line now included butter dishes, shakers, teapots, pitchers, casseroles, bowls, platters, cookie jars, creamers, sugar bowls and snack sets. The color of the kernels was shifted to a lighter yellow, and the leaves became a darker green. In the beginning, the corn was white and referred to as "White Corn." In 1946, the color was changed to yellow and the line became "Corn King." By the 1950s, sales were slacking and Shawnee made the decision to introduce "Corn Queen," hoping it would boost sales. The "Corn King" ovenware line was introduced in the 1930s and began as premiums/giveaways for Procter & Gamble. The pottery was founded in Zanesville, Ohio, in 1937. What can you tell me?Ī: Shawnee Pottery made your casserole dish. I plan to pass it along to my daughter and would like to learn more about its maker, vintage and value. This dish is all that is left of the set, and I will always treasure it. I remember when we were children we always looked forward to dinner at grandma's house and using the corn dishes. It measures about 10 inches long, 5 inches wide and 3 inches deep. The lid is a green leaf, and the bowl is the shape of an ear of corn. Q: This mark is on the bottom of a covered casserole dish that was part of a set my mother had in the 1940s. ![]() The first United States Post Office airmail stamp was issued in 1918.Ī single circa-1962 airmail stamp can be seen selling on the internet for 45 to 50 cents plus shipping.
