I'm looking for a specific Rubbermaid "Servin' Saver™" container. My co workers and I are having trouble finding it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

enter image description here

Measurements are 9 in x 4.5 in x 2 in.

Measured as length width and height

  • It is actually 'tupperware' brand? Are there any other markings on it? – Joe Feb 22 '17 at 13:45
  • @joe It is Rubbermaid it says 4 cups, 940 ml. It had a giant 5 on the right side with a square around it and under the Rubbermaid it says "Servin' Saver™" – Kevin Hernandez Feb 22 '17 at 13:54
  • Maybe they are discontinued ? – Max Feb 22 '17 at 14:06

    If this is for a commercial operation: Do rubbermaid not answer requests from business customers directly if asked? – rackandboneman Feb 22 '17 at 15:25
  • It's considered 'vintage' (1980s?). I found the lid for $15 (plus shipping) : https://www.amazon.com/Vintage-Rubbermaid-Rectangularl-Replacement-Container/dp/B00MW672DS/ref=sr_1_5?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1487785195&sr=1-5&keywords=rubbermaid+servin%27+saver – Joe Feb 22 '17 at 17:42
  • @joe it's close the height is too little but yeah they might be discontinued. Is it possible to ask them to make it for us? – Kevin Hernandez Feb 22 '17 at 17:52
  • I doubt the manufacturer would do a special run, but I found quite a few on eBay. Have you looked there? – Giorgio Feb 22 '17 at 21:00
  • No mind linking them? – Kevin Hernandez Feb 22 '17 at 21:01

  • The reason I won't buy or use older (vintage) plastic food containers is there's been a big change in the chemistry of plastic over the years. Most (all?) of the old plastic absorbed the food's odor and tainted anything that was placed in it later. Any fats or oil in the stored food would end up, over time, reacting with the plastic leaving a sticky gummy feeling behind that no amount of detergent fixed. As well, a lot of older plastic food containers weren't really food safe. I'm still not 100% sure they all are now but a HUGE improvement to the older plastics. – Jude Jun 15 '17 at 07:01
  • @Jude Not used for food – Kevin Hernandez Jun 18 '17 at 01:54
  • Not used for food is perfectly acceptable then! – Jude Jun 18 '17 at 03:20
  • @Jude Yea the use we have for them needs those exact dimensions which is why I really need them – Kevin Hernandez Jun 18 '17 at 03:21
  • Hope you get them then. – Jude Jun 18 '17 at 03:24
  • @Jude it's been 3 years, no luck so far – Kevin Hernandez Jun 18 '17 at 03:25

These are listed as "vintage" on Amazon and eBay so I would think they are not being made any more. I found one on Amazon for $14.00 plus $5.49 shipping. There are some complete top and bottom sets on eBay but they are (relatively) expensive, around $15.00 each. I saw similar reusable containers on Amazon for a much more reasonable price, around $1-2.00 each. And No, I am not affiliated with eBay or Amazon. :)
