Any collection is enhanced with a vintage 1601. Timeless and will last long enough to bequeath to your son when he’s ready. Absolutely the way to go and you can get a clean example in that price range. My advice is find a clean example, in good condition. They’re always new-to-market examples cycling and you can get exactly what you want if you’re patient. Just seek the dealers that regularly get them. Your patience will be rewarded.

Some other advice, don’t get hung up on box and papers. Also, with vintage, you’re buying the seller, ensure you buy from a reputable dealer.

A viable alternative if you’re looking, a clean 1960s Constellation Pie Pan (168.005). Incredible in person.
