I never heard of this firm. I'll have to check them out.
Now owned by the American Cutlery Corp. but the originals are highly sought-after by collectors.
I'll be checking them out on ebay! What fun.
I have a pot that on its bottom reads "USA 12quarts 11 liters GHC MAGNALITE". I'm guessing this is one of the newly made pots since it has the liters measurement on it. Am I right?
Magnalite by Wagner was hand poured and cast in Sidney, Ohio. (1934 - 1999) It is considered to be some of the finest American made cookware ever produced. Genuine Magnalite cookware is in high demand by collectors and daily users, alike. * 1934 - The Wagner Manufacturing Company of Sidney, Ohio developed and introduced the first blended Magnesium and Aluminum cast cookware line as WagnerWare Magnalite. (Mag-Ware) * 1979 - The Wagner Manufacturing Division of General Housewares Corp, developed and introduced the first hard anodized cast cookware line as GHC Magnalite Professional. (Mag-Pro)
To be Genuine Magnalite, the cookware will be made of a magnesium aluminum blend and the bottom will bear one of the following stylized trademarks: Wagner, WagnerWare (Wagner Ware) or GHC Magnalite
Wagner Manufacturing is now a division of American Culinary Corporation, producing authentic Wagner, Griswold and WagnerWare cookware, made in the USA. - Your GHC Magnalite was produced from 1979-1995 hence the liters marking but is still considered to be Genuine Magnalite and more desirable than the current Chinese made wares using the Magnalite Classic brand, see below.
Please note: American Culinary Corporation (Wagner, Griswold, WagnerWare) is NOT associated or affiliated with the World Kitchen, LLC (aluminum clad) reproduction of "Magnalite Classic" cookware, made in China.
Thank you for your information. I used mine for the first time tonight and have to agree with its quality. I couldn't be happier. Found it at a sale and it was well taken care of and too good a price to pass up!!
