Guardian Service Cookware ~ (2) One Quart Hammered Aluminum Dome Cookers w/Lid Excellent Pre-Owned Condition No Dents or Chips In The Lid Two 1Qt Pots - One Lid Guardian Service Cookware sets were manufactured back in the days of WW2 by the Century Metalcraft Corporation of Los Angeles, California. Back then, independent salesmen sold sets of this durable aluminum cookware until the 1950s when the manufacturing plant burned down. Today, Guardian Service cookware sets have become sought-after collectibles because of their heavy duty hammered aluminum waterless build that makes it almost bullet-proof. During their production years, a set of Guardian Service cookware would cost approximately a month’s rent, which today translates to about $2,500. Guardian Cookware sets are made of hammered aluminum. Hammered aluminum is a lot more durable than the materials used for cookware sets today. It is a whole lot lighter, making it relatively easy to use. Aside from being made out of heavy-duty aluminum, Guardian Cookware sets come with oven-proof glass. Don’t be alarmed though if your cookware set has metal lids instead of glass. The first Guardian Service cookware sets came out with metal lids since rationing during the war didn’t occur back in the pre-WW2 years when Guardian Service cookware sets were first made. To find out if you have an authentic piece, you can look for the three types of Guardian Service cookware logos that you can find at the bottom of your cookware. The first logo is a knight’s helmet looking to the left with crossed swords. The second version of their logo is a knight’s helmet with two stars on either side. The last version of their trademark logo is a knight’s helmet with three stars on either side. The lids, on the other hand, are stamped with the knight’s helmet logo, but with crossed battle axes, instead of stars and swords. Being made out of heavy-duty materials isn’t the Guardian Service cookware’s only strong suit. Its build allows for high-quality cooking experience since its patented bases ensure uniform heating of food. Aside from being an exceptional conductor of heat, the design of its lids also adds to enhanced cooking because of its domed lid construction that allows the food to become moist by letting the water that has built up through condensation drip back down to the food. What’s more is that once you’re done cooking with the Guardian Service cookware, you can use it to serve your food right on your table by simply putting it on insulated trivets. =========================== I am GENUINE, HONEST seller based in the USA with POSITIVE FEEDBACK FAST, PROFESSIONAL SHIPPING!
