Texas Ware Factory Melmac Tour

A while ago I wrote a great post on TexasWare and about the factory who made it. Therefore today I add the Plastics Manufacturing Company plastic tour right here to the Melmac Encyclopedia. I think that Texas Ware is one of the most collected melmac dinnerware genres out there today. From their retro melamine mixing bowls to their wonderful dishes, their manufacturing extended decades.

I've been talking about doing a melmac book for twenty years. I've been collecting melmac just as long. Over the years I've talked to and met a lot of great people who share a common love for plastics. I figured why not compile all that information in one place?

And so now, I bring to you, the long awaited  site that compiles all free information from the web in one place, a  digital Melmac Encyclopedia if you will. It will be a comprehensive collection of links to help you learn more about your favorite melamine and melmac of yesterday!

I hope you will share and enjoy it.
