 | For many years, the restaurant that ordered the customized opal dinnerware pattern "MMG" was unknown. Recently, however, an avid Pyrex dinnerware collector shared some information that helps solve the mystery. The dinnerware was used at McCrory's lunch counters.The legal entity that operated McCrory's was McCrory's, McLellan, and Green (hence MMG). |
| MMG was formed in 1961 through the merger of several five and dime stores: McCrory’s, McLellan, and H. L. Green. The MMG pattern includes a ribbon design around the perimeter, crested with the MMG logo. The pattern is shown as an example of a custom-designed pattern in both the 1971 and 1973 Corning dealer catalogs. Items known to exist include: 700 – Individual Casserole, 10 oz. (Does not include “MMG.”) 704 – Bread & Butter Plate, 6 3/4-inch 708 – Bowl, 10 oz., 4 7/8-inch 713 – Bread & Butter Plate, 5 ½-inch 794 – Oval Platter, 9 ½-inch |  Examples of MMG opal Pyrex dinnerware. |
