This episode talks about the history and world of retro Melmac dinnerware dating back to the Melmac trade name by America Cyanamid. Brought to you by Editor of Melmac Central . It also talks about the value of melmac dinnerware, allure of vintage wooden jewelry boxes and ideas for repurposing old hardware valves and knobs into your home!
