You have a very enjoyable website. F.Y.I.- Your Branchell link is no longer active. As a comment, I collect Branchell's Color-Flyte dinnerware because that is what I used as a kid growing up in the '50s. That collection will eventually go to my grandson and granddaughter in about a dozen years when they hit their 20s. The pristine pieces I have boxed, so they currently use some of the better used pieces I've collected. With any luck, they will get that nostalgic feeling when they grow older and use their Color-Flyte just as I'm using mine now. My only wish before I die (in the distant future) is for sellers of Branchell's Color-Flyte and Royale dinnerware to educate themselves enough to make a distinction between the two lines. That is almost as bad as the ones who sell a $3 dinner plate and charge $15 shipping. Oh, the humor of it all.
