Century Metalcraft Corporation of Los Angeles, California manufactured Guardian Service cookware from the mid 1930s until 1956, when the plant burned down. During this period 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. 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. In many cases, the dinner party guests would only buy one or two pieces. 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. The key to the excellent cooking qualities of GS cookware, is traced to its domed-lid construction. This waterless cookware utilizes high domed glass lids which are designed so that the food's moisture would condense while cooking, and then drip back down on the food.
