Hello Alex, I just had to reply, since I purchased my "Seal-O-Matic" waterless, stainless steel, pots and pans in June of 1962. Like you and your wife, we are still using our cookware and it looks almost as good as the day I bought them! Your Mother-in-Law gave you an exceptional wedding gift! The whole set in 1962, when I purchased it, was over $264.00 which was a small fortune in that era; I was still a teenager. However, the sales lady convinced me that Americans would die from bacteria if I didn't have the "Seal-O-Matic" cookware to use! She even gave me a "free" set of steak knives as my gift and I, in turn, referred her to another couple who also purchased a complete set. America has been healthier for almost 44 years because of that cookware (ha ha). There is none comparable! In checking on google, I read that "Seal-O-Matic" may have been purchased by the "Treasure Chest Company". Do you know anything about that? I'm interested in all info you can provide regarding the real "Seal-O-Matic" cookware which is a registered trademark. Thank you.
