In addition to the crucial connection to our flying disc pastimes, Frisbie memorabilia is also worth collecting for its representation of American entrepreneurial drive and innovation. As a deep-rooted New Englander with Frisbee flowing through my veins, the Frisbie Pie Company marks a logical and sentimental intersection of both. It was Yankee ingenuity that spawned the Industrial Revolution. Even small streams were utilized for hydropower for innovative industrial uses. I now live on one that once had several mills along its course. One was on my property that powered a shingle making operation in the original structure that now constitutes the basement of our home. Develop comprehension: Record captions for pictures. Allow pupils to match the correct Talking Point to the correct picture. This could make a fine game! Then, there is the “Holy Grail” Perforated F restaurant tin [P4]. This might provoke a religious experience if you are fortunate enough to snag one. At best, a handful are known to exist. These larger diameter tins held more pie and are presumed to have been employed in the higher volume restaurant trade.The one I found came completely by surprise, having followed a lead to a woman’s home in Vernon, Connecticut—there it was in her kitchen, the first Restaurant Frisbie pie plate I had ever laid my eyes on.
The other main differentiating factor oftins is the slope and depth of their shoulders. So-called Square Shoulder tins are of the deep-dish variety tailored for apple/cherry/rhubarb, etc. pies.Shallower oblique and round-shouldered tins held custard style pies [P12]. Talking Tins have magnetic caps that will sit on any steel food can (please note: food cans not included). The magnet will also secure the cap to a metal adaptor (included), which has a self-adhesive pad to fix it to any object. Or secure it to a variety of objects using the elastic VELCRO® brand strap. We are a mainstream, inclusive school that fully complies with the requirements outlined in the Special Educational Needs Code of Practice (2014). At Southgate Primary School we recognise that the quality of teaching within the classroom has the greatest influence over children’s progress. We therefore invest in training, resources and monitoring to ensure our classrooms are an inclusive place for all children. This is known as the ‘Universal Provision’ or ‘Quality First Teaching’. Well, that issue was resolved into a permanent affliction of fun, as the viral strains, east coast and west, became forever joined in Wham-O’s trademarked “Frisbee.” Frisbee strains continue to replicate and mutate to this day in the ever-ongoing viral ingenuity of, “Play catch, invent games!” This is why collectors ever persist in hot pursuit of pie—Frisbie’s pie. Simultaneously, the west coast experienced a separate but related flare up of flinging, first with metal but soon finding its eternal host in plastic. This developing strain known as "Spheroid Plasticus" marked the birth of a pastime, but a pastime sorely in need of a catchy name to match the soar of its namesakes. Hard to imagine tossers exclaiming, “Let’s go out and play some Pluto Platter!”

Perforated F Tin A “heavy metal” Frisbie tin, likely of greater vintage than those of lighter weight retaining their shiny patina [P1] Perforated H Tin 5¢ DEP A version of the perforated H tin with a machine stamped 5¢ DEP [P25] Perforated H Tin Often found with batches of Frisbie tins—do these perforated H tins refer to Henry H. Olds who sold his bakery to W.R. Frisbie in 1871? [P24] Targeted Provision' is then planned to enablechildren to accelerate their progress and work at, or above the expectations for their age. These sessions are generally taught in a small groups and sometimes ona 1:1 basis. They can also be strategies used with the children to help them be successful in the classroom. Reversed Large Letter DEP One of a very few Large Letter Reverse DEP. Frisbie tins; the off center DEP. makes one wonder if for some reason, the 5¢ was omitted [P15] Reversed Large Letter 5¢ DEP Reversed Large Letter, 5c DEP. Frisbie tin. Flip the reversed letter Frisbie tins over to flying mode, and Frisbie reads correctly {P16] Reversed Small Letter DEP Small Letter reversed, square shouldered DEP.

Large Letter 5¢ DEP Large Letter Frisbie tin with machine stamped 5¢ DEP.

Frisbee legend, Jim Palmeri has said he’s particularly fond of the RL tins, because when flipped in throwing mode, “Frisbie” appears correctly. Support pupils during ‘choosing’ time: Adults can record directions for each activity. As pupils move to each activity they can replay the prompts to make sure they are doing the ‘right’ thing. Perforated F Tin A rare, smaller diameter, oblique shouldered tin that likely contained custard type pies [P3] Perforated F Tin The shiny patina on this tin means this was likely manufactured late in the company’s existence [P2] Examples of provision can be found below. Your child's teacher will carefully select the support that is best suited their need.
Pupils are given extra take-up time for responses to questions or contributions to group discussions Year Holiday Card The holidays are prime pie time, and the Frisbie Pie Company sent out cheerful reminders such as in this seasonal card from 1938—notice the reference to Roosevelt’s New Deal One of my favorite Frisbie items is a very hard to find Frisbie pie cutter. There are also postcards, both of Bridgeport, Kossuth Street, Center of Piedom and another of the Hartford Frisbie bakery. (Frisbie also had factories and or distribution points in Providence, Rhode Island; Poughkeepsie, New York; and Springfield, Massachusetts.) The classroom environment supports learning through models, images and a range of visuals and key vocabulary Large Letter No Holes The standard LL pie tin, minus the venting holes [P9] Small Letter No Holes Square shouldered, Small Letter Frisbie tin with no venting holes [P10] Large Letter 12 Holes Frisbie pie tin with 12 venting holes [P11] Small Letter Oblique Shoulder Oblique shouldered Frisbie tin with venting holes [P12]
Thoseof you continuing to plow through this account are likely collectors, well-aware that a formidable collection of anything needs cataloging. For the numerous varieties/styles of Frisbie pie plates, Victor Malafronte in The Complete Book of Frisbeepioneered a logical, easy to understand Frisbie cataloging system: The original Frisbie tins were the so-called Perforated F variety. But if you have one it is not necessarily “old.” Perforated F tins were produced throughout the company’s existence.

The best way to estimate the venerability of an F tin along with other varieties, is by its metal composition. Earlier F tins are noticeably heavy and solid with an “iron” feel to them, and with noticeable patina [P1]; later ones, lighter with a tin-like feel. “Newer” pie plates are also more likely to retain their silvery veneer [P2]. Harder to find F tins are the shallow shouldered ones of slightly less diameter than the “common” ones [P3]. Flying disc play, seemingly forever, has been a fringe sport dear to the hearts of a relatively few “Frisbee Freaks.” But now, at least in part, in reaction to people looking for alternatives to our long covid isolation, disc sports, in particulardisc golf, are no longer the obscure refuge of a select few. Our delightful pastimes are now with trembling handspassed on to the masses. This makes documenting the history of flying disc play and its origins in the likes of the Frisbie Pie Company, more essential now than ever. Of course, peak season for pie sales is the holidays, and the Frisbie Pie Company came up with fancy greeting cards depicting warm scenes of baking goings-on, to send out to vendors and customers. Appropriately corny verse described these homey scenes, no doubt further building appetites for Frisbie’s baked goods. Large Letter Hand Stamped 5¢ DEP Rare Large Letter, round shouldered Frisbie tin with a hand stamped 5¢ DEP [P19] Small Letter Hand Stamped 5 A rare, crude hand stamped 5, representing 5¢ deposit that appears on an oblique shouldered, small letter Frisbie tin [P20] Large Letter 5¢ DEP Reversed Large Letter, round shouldered Frisbie tin with a reverse 5¢ DEP. hand stamp; hand stamped tins have unique stamp placement, dependent on the casual whim of the stamper [P21] Perforated F Tin Hand Stamped 5¢ DEP Extremely rare Perforated F tin with a hand stamped 5¢ DEP. also distinctive for its deep shoulder, rarely found in this style [P22]
