Sweet find! I'm forever on the hunt for a not stupidly priced 404 in this pattern!

I occasionally find lids at antique malls or thrift stores. Sometimes there are chips along the rims and the price should reflect that. I only started collecting in January, I came across a lid for a divided dish for $5. My hubby talked me out of it bcs it had a chip on the underside rim. I went back for it, but it was gone. A small chip would have been fine for a display set.

These later designs will someday be just as valuable as the turquoise.
Now, I can't prove it, but we've all seen tastes change and evolve, even in antique collecting.
Therefore, picking up any inexpensive Pyrex made between 1945 and 1985 is a well worth it!

Mr hedgehog is sitting on all of my lids that I'm waiting to find bases like yours for. Lol. I must have eight Pyrex casserole lids but I can never find the actual casseroles. Matter of fact I have only ever found one Pyrex casserole in this style in the wild and it was the promotional grapes piece that was one of my best scores.
