"Fire King Glassware" was manufactured by the "Anchor Hocking Glass Company" and is highly collectable. There are hundreds of websites with pictures that will help you identify and value your dishes. There are also many website businesses that will buy your pieces. Without pictures or a more complete description, it is not possible to give you any definitive information. My best advice is to do some exploring on your own. I did some searches based on the following phrases and the total results of each search are listed. When you do your own search, type the phrase, with the quotation marks, into the Yahoo search box. I guarantee that you will quickly find the information you seek without having to sort through very many sites. Try these searches:
"fire king collectables" yields 351 results
"fire king collectors" yields 341 results
"fire king glassware" yields 6,300 results
"fire king" yields 1,070,000 results
Good luck with your fire king collectables.

Fire King was the predecessor to Pyrex, made in the 50s or 60s. The gold trim on dishes is ALWAYS real gold. Otherwise it would not behave the same. It's a paint high in gold powder that lets the gold shine through after firing.
Take a place setting to an antique shop and have it appraised. I doubt it will be worth much in the way of a collectible. More likely it will be worth something if it's a complete set in good condition.

Use ebay.com to see how similar items are priced. Search under fire king and look at completed auctions. Often photos on ebay can help you identify your own items and learn a lot more about them.

I got with the green stamps a super nice tall wooden silverwear chest with red velvet lining made by Betty Crocker. I remember gluing the stamps for mom and us going over to the store to redeem them but I don't recall what she got with them. The stores then took over and would sell dinnerwear, and the banks took over and began giving away mixers, toasters and the like after the green stamps stopped, and then we had Zayre, Ames, KMart, and now Walmart with the less expensive stuff plus companies give out coupons and stores have senior shopping days...gosh, isn't that enough?

go into a local antique dealer and see if you can get some info on the maker, etc.....then sell them on ebay if you want to make the most profit on them
