History
Guardian Service cookware (GS), aka Guardian Ware, is a highly sought after collectible for a variety of reasons: the heavy-duty construction of this hammered 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. Century Metalcraft Corporation of Los Angeles, California manufactured Guardian Service cookware from the mid 1930s until 1956, when the plant burned down. Independent salesman sold GS cookware similar to the way Tupperware was sold in the 1960s. A hostess would host a party at their house, and invite several of their friends over. At these dinner parties, a GS salesman would prepare a delicious meal for the guests, all in hopes of selling them some GS cookware. In the 70's Guardian Service Cookware in Stanton California purchased the patent rights to Guardian Service Cookware and resumed production until the early 2000's.
