Reader Camille asks:
There is one piece left of a set of Revere Ware that was my mother’s and is at least 65 years old. It is definitely pre—1968, and I’m thinking that it was gifted to her in the early 1950s. The piece that’s left is the large pot and it is so old that only way you can see the stamp is with a bright light and a magnifying glass. Is this common for the older pots?
This is common with older pots. The copper does oxidize over time, and when you use copper cleaner regularly it can slowly remove some copper. I personally have quite a few pieces that have very faint stamps like this.
