We have a Noritake dinner set from the 60's. My OH spent a lot of money on it att as a wedding gift for his brother. It went through a house fire and was dumped in their back shed. Not even cleaned, so I guess they didn't value it. My MIL took it home, cleaned it up and put it away. My FIL gave it back to us last year. There are a couple of bits missing, so I have been gradually finding them and completing the set. Last couple of bits were in an op shop and were 1.50 for cup and saucer
