Two pots have a sideway logo. Lids are all numbered 31 and C1 or CT. Dimensions: 8 ¼” by 6 ¼” inner dimensions. 11” long including handles. 4 ¼” tall without lid. Condition: VERY GOOD: Smaller flaws that indicate normal use and age, such as marks on the bottom of the pots. Clean. The aluminum bottoms have little to no staining.

Comments: We acquired these at a recent estate auction and cleaned them by placing in the oven during a self-clean cycle, thus removing burned on stains and discoloration. Century Metalcraft Corporation of Los Angeles, California manufactured Guardian Service cookware from the mid-1930s until 1956. In the 70's Guardian Service Cookware in Stanton California resumed production until the early 2000's. During the pre-WWII years, this cookware had metal lids. Glass lids were introduced due to rationing during WWII. Guardian Service was marketed for its stove to table "dual-purpose" design, but also its fuel economy and nutritional preservation: "Low heat top–of–stove cooking minimizes food shrinkage, insures greater savings of vitamins and minerals". The cookware’s mid-century vibe but simple design makes it fit in with any daily, party or entertaining event. Guardian Ware, is a highly sought after collectible for a variety of reasons: the heavy-duty construction of this cast aluminum waterless cookware makes it almost bullet-proof; the excellent way the cookware prepares food; and the nostalgia of cooking with the same type of cookware your parents or grandparents did. The key to the excellent cooking quality is traced to its domed-lid construction which capture and condense the food's moisture, and then it drips back down on the food, retaining nutritional value and taste. The patented aluminum bases insure uniform heating of the food.General Notes:We accept reasonable offers! We pack with great care.
