Was just gifted these as a House warming gift ♡ the canisters are Kromex (1957) For the history buffs: A BRIEF HISTORY OF KROMEX KITCHENWARE KROMEX ALUMINUM KITCHENWARE WAS MADE BY ALCOA ALUMINUM COMPANY AROUND 1957. ALCOA WAS MAINLY AN INDUSTRIAL FIRM AT THE TIME. THEY WERE PURCHASED BY REYNOLDS ALUMINUM IN THE EARLY 1960S. IT WAS AROUND THAT TIME THAT METALWORKING COMPANIES CHANGED TO INDUSTRIAL AND NOT DOMESTIC PRODUCTION. KROMEX WAS SOLD AT MONTGOMERY WARD AND SEARS TO NAME A FEW. THE HOT RETRO COLORS OF TURQUOISE,PINK,YELLOW AND CLASSIC ALUMINUM AND BLACK ARE STILL LOOKING HOT IN KITCHEN DECORS TO THIS DAY! THERE ARE MANY STYLES AND COLORS INCLUDING COPPER.
