Wexford was first produced in 1967. The production continued well into the 80s, with some pieces still being produced in the early 2000s. Walmart carried the punch bowl at that time. It is fast becoming one of the popular collectables. Prices are still low with good supply at this time. For a good look at most of the pieces and realistic values, get the book Fire King and More by Gene Florence. Note that Wexford is NOT in the Fire King line, thus the "More" in the title. :)
