1950s magazine ad for Metlox's Peach Blossom

Metlox's line sold through Montgomery Wards as, "Peachtree."

Jamie Robinson adds...Metlox had their version of the Everpopular Peachblossom, when WARDS wanted to sell a simiular product they named it PEACHTREE, the main difference in the two are: The Peachblossom has a pure white background (non-speckled), and then when they produced a "Simiular" pattern for WARDS, it was basically the same pattern "BUT", they changed the background color to a Pink/Tawny Brown color and added somewhat "Heavy" speckling to the background. And then they have their "OWN" version of the "Peachblossom". Most generally markings are different also, but I don't have exact markings to show. but mostly say s in "BLOCK" letter "MADE IN CALIFORNIA".
