I am always delighted to discov
er an original kitchenware catalog or advertising materials in good condition. 
Today I found this wonderful 4 page 1957 advertising insert for West Bend appliances on Etsy.comWest Bend Products Featured In 1957 Advertisement
This West Bend advertisement is described as featuring " West Bend Appliances, Gift Ware, and Pantry Ware. Models included: Automatic Skillet, Electric Griddle, Bean Pot, Corn Popper, Percolators, Bread Box, Canister Set, Cake Humidor, Serving Oven, Cookie Canister, Shakers, Range Set, Bowlmaster Set, Trig Singing Tea Kettle, Serv-It Platter, Lazy Susan, Pengu
in Hot and Cold Server, and Top-Stove Ovenette ".West Bend "Pantry Ware"
The page which really tickled my fancy was the advertisement for West Bend's "Pantry Ware" featured. Many of us have seen bits and pieces of their sets but now we get to see how the entire product line looks. "Pantry Ware " included bread box, 4 piece Canister Set, Cake Humidor, Range Set, Flour n Sugar Shakers, Waste Ba
sket, Cookie Cutter, Canister n Cake Set.Pantry Ware Came In Polished Aluminum or Copper Color Aluminum
Pantry Ware came in "sparkling polished aluminum or "tarnish-proof copper-color aluminum". Here is how the 1957 advertisement describes these products: "strikingly modern-with a touch of Early American charm. That's the beauty of West Ben's complete line of perfectly matched Pantry Ware. Protective coating prevents finger-printing, keeps every piece bright and new looking".
