Vintage 1940s Guardian Service Heart Shaped Aluminum Casserole Dutch Oven Pot

This is an amazing all aluminum vintage Mid Century 1940s Guardian Service Dutch oven type casserole baking pot. These were very popular and expensive when they came out in the 40's. This all aluminum heart shaped version with a metal lid is pretty rare. Most of them had a clear lid. Guardian Service was sold much like Tupperware was in the early days. A representative would cook a large, fancy dinner for a house party where the sets or single pieces were then sold to the dinner guests. This piece is in very good, used, vintage condition. It has a lot of use left in it. There is some staining on the interior and some scuffs and scratches from years of use. It measures 8.5 by 6.5 inches measured on the inside of the pot. It is a little over 4 inches tall also measured on the inside of the pot It measures 11 inches by 7 inches by 8 inches on the exterior with the lid on.
