Regarding china: PC never bought any, with the exception of Metroliner
china. This was a ceramic dish in the shape of "airline" china. It is
completely white on top. It is backmarked "Route Of The Metroliners" & was
made by Corning. I know of 2 people who have them, but I have never seen
one. They are very rare!
As far as linens go, the following exist with an ink-stamped PC worm & name
logo: Dinner napkins (several varieties), hand towel (several marking &
sizes, including 1 really nice one with green embroidered name/logo),
tablecloths, sheets (several varieties), pillowcases. That's all I can think
of off the top of my head. Hope this helps once again.
