This is the largest piece of the Guardian Service Cookware Line. Century Metalcraft Corporation of Los Angeles, CA. manufactured Guardian Service cookware from the mid 1930s until 1956, when the plant burned down. "Guardian Service cookware (GS), aka Guardian Ware, is a highly sought after collectible these days. There are a variety of reasons: the heavy-duty construction of this hammered aluminum waterless cookware makes it almost "bullet-proof; the excellent way that the cookware prepares the food; and the nostalgia of cooking with the same type of cookware that your parents or grandparents did. GS cookware was considered to be an expensive set of cookware during the 1940s and 50s. It would cost about a month's pay to buy the full set. In today's dollars, that would be about $2,500!" The roasters with aluminum tops were pre WWII as later when the war started there was a need for all metals, So they started using heat resistant glass domed lids.
"Its special scientific construction and roomy domed cover allows plenty of room for a large turkey- two or three medium sized broilers- a large ham or roast of any kind.

One top-stove burner does all the work...no need to light the oven...saves lots of fuel, and means a cooler kitchen, too. By actual tests, meats shrink less, and even the tougher cuts are made tender, juicy and delicious. Basting is not necessary....heat is distributed evenly over top, sides, and bottom for perfect roasting.

The "NEVER TILT" cover is another welcome ...
