In well used shape, but still got a lot of life left in them.

That stamp was used from the 20's-50's. I'm looking for the website that I got that from. Her grandparents would have been married almost 70 years by now, so my guess is late 40's.

ETA: this has more to do with their cast iron line, but I'm sure they were using the same logo/stamp for the mangalite

There's some pitting in the Dutch oven, and they both need to be cleaned up pretty good- probably not a ton- $50-75 total I would guess, judging from what's available on E-Bay. Not enough to make me part with them.

Mom gave me hers after 20 years. Friend cleaned them up and they are fine. I also have the set I got when I was married. Not sure how moms got so dirty and mine did not. She fried in hers and I never did.

Congrats and enjoy. When my grandmother passed away I was lucky enough to get her 12 quart magnalite pot that she made her gumbos and stews in. I can remember as a kid many of wonderful gumbo's that came out of that pot on Christmas Eve.
