Title: help with this spice rack.
Post by: drododdsnends on June 24, 2011, 02:24:44 PM

I bought this spice rack at a garage sale today for $2. It looks sort of old, and it has never been opened, the plastic shrink wrap is still around it, and the original cardboard pieces holding the tubes inside are still connected. You can tell its been sealed a while beause the tape has turned that brownish color from sitting for so long i suppose. It doesnt have any markings at all except a made in Taiwan sticker on the bottom. There is a sheet of paper with different spices names to put on the bottles, and another sheet above that that just says Decorative spice rack and Item No. S-3. Ive searched all over the internet and cant find another one like it. Any info guys? here is some pics.

I think they are from the 70s or early 80s and that is with a 19 in front not an 18. Quite common, I see them all the time at garage sales. $5 at the most because it is new. Usually $1 when used.

    One little note I would like to add,  The rack is second to the bottles.  Left sealed like that for a few more Decades, The bottle will be worth way more.

Thats for the tip. Im gonna just store it for right now, and go from there! I just loved the way it looked, and since it was sealed, that was a plus as well! Thanks!!
