Vintage cast aluminum cookware. This piece is in good shape and would make a beautiful addition to your collection. The aluminum is bright with only light scuffs on the bottom of the roaster from normal use and cleaning. The glass lid has a few bubbles from manufacturing. The lid has no cracks but does have one small nick about the size of the tip of a ball point pen. It is on the inside edge and appears that it is probably also just an air bubble that was on the surface. It is barely noticeable but I did the best I could to show it in the photos.
is aslo known as Guardian Ware. It was made by Century Metalcraft Corporation which was located in Los Angele, California from the 1930\'s up until the late 1950\'s.Prior to making Guardian Service, SILVER SEAL was the brand of aluminum cookware manufactured by that company.Guardian Service was sold by two methods. There was a door-to-door concept whereas the salesman would literally ring the bell as use his sales pitch. There were also \"Home Parties\" where some kind woman would make her home and kitchen available for the salesman to come in and actually use the cookware to makeGuardian Service cookware a dinner. The little lady of the house would invite her girlfriends over with the hopes of sales!!
GS cookware is constructed out of hammered aluminum, and is considered to be heavy-duty in contrast to today\'s cookware. During the pre-WWII years, this cookware had metal lids. But, because of the rationing during the War, the lids were then made from oven-proof glass.
It measures approximately 15\" across (handle to handle), and 4.5\" tall.
