I regularly buy and use Guardian aluminum cookware. I have a bunch of it in
the kitchen and it gets used nearly every day.
It used to be sold like Tupperware, where you would have a "party" and
invite a bunch of frien
to ask again as you guys just talk about whatever and don't actually pay
attention: is it raw or anodized? in other words, what color is the
cooking surface?

You're welcome.
I will say that after I read a couple of papers at the NHC it would appear that
there is some risk with ingesting aluminum, but researchers can't seem to agree
on the effects and/or if it's a concern.
It does sound like any Al ingested from cookware is well below daily limits,

It used to be sold like Tupperware, where you would have a "party" and invite a

Watch values depend very much on someone's willingness to buy it --
Railroad Approved watches are quite popular and carry a fairly high
price due to the demand for them, which has nothing at all to do with
their timekeeping abilities (although they are generally better at

Interurban watches were lower grade than the normal Railroad Approved
ones, but always decent watches. Sadly the price depends on the demand.

Worth a bunch when folks want to buy it, but after a while those folks
fade away and the next generation has no interest and dumps the parents'

It's like old Kodak cameras.
I have a couple of folding bellows roll film cameras from the 1930s, both of
which are in working order if you wanted to scrounge the roll film for them.
They are beautiful display pieces I have on a shelf, but are so common they
probably have values in the sub $20

My maternal grandfather was a conductor on the interurban for many years.
Everybody always made a big deal about "Grandpa's pocket watch" and how
valuable it was.
Somehow I ended up with it. Did some checking on the net to find it was a very
