Every kitchen in America likely has at least some Tupperware in it (although it might not go by that actual brand). For those who don’t know, Tupperware as a company goes all the way back to 1942 and is still a major force in the marketplace today for kitchen containers. What you might not know, however, is that all that Tupperware you’ve been holding onto for years might actually be worth more than you think it is.
There’s an old adage that says if you hold onto anything for long it enough, it just might become valuable. As it turns out, some of the vintage Tupperware sets have appreciated over time—and if you have complete sets in relatively good condition, you could sell them for some quick cash! It’s not going to get you rich or anything, but it still might be worth your time.
Without any further ado, here are some of the most valuable vintage Tupperware sets that are out there.
1. Bell Tumblers from 1946
The Bell Tumbler is one of Tupperware’s oldest product lines and is probably recognizable by almost anybody. Although these cups were actually just polyethylene which had previously been manufactured by DuPont for uses in World War II. Depending on where you look, a small set of these vintage tumblers could go for as much as $35 on eBay.
2. Wonderlier Bowls from 1946
These were also around from the same time period and provided two helpful innovations at the time—the “burping” seal lid and the ability for the bowls to be stackable. Sets of these bowls that are still in good condition can go between $45 and $60.
3. The Millionaire Collection’s Salt and Pepper Shakers from 1960
As the name might suggest, the Millionaire’s Collection was a line of Tupperware marketed towards those aspiring towards the upper classes. These unique pieces can also fetch you about $45 if sold today, assuming they are still in good shape.
4. Servalier Astro Bowls from 1972
Though this series was originally released in the 1960s, it continued on into the 70s and came printed in four distinct pastel colors with a tight seal on top. If you still have some of these lying around today, they could sell for $15 to $20.
5. Cake Taker from the 1970s
Anyone who has made a cake knows just how difficult it can be to transport them without smearing the frosting. Fortunately, Tupperware had an answer to this way back in the day with their Cake Taker product (which was similar to a Pie Taker they had made in the 50s). Anyone who still has one of these can sell it for $20 to $25 online.
6. Condiment Relish Caddy and Salad Dressing Bottles from the 1970s
Each of these bottles typically comes with a push-button seal on top that makes them very easy to carry around. If you still have a set of these in good condition, they can go for around $12-$15. Although this is one of the cheaper items on the list, it may also be a steal if you can get one—after all, you don’t see these around very often!
7. FlatOut Containers
Though they still make these, this is a particularly useful kind of storage bowl or container which can press up and down like an accordion depending on how much food is going into it. A vintage set of these, typically with four pieces, can sell for about $25.
