But some people took the old new to heart and then the radio stations picked up on it and started reporting about eBay high listing prices for Corning Ware, and yet they never looked at the "sold" listing on eBay to see what things were actually selling form. So the lie was perpetuated and sensationalized by bad news reporting practices. Shane T.

Later items from 3rd generation and newer that are sometimes missing the model numbers will be the electromatic dishes such as the P-22/A-22 Skillet and the P-86/A-86 Saucepot with the flat ground bottom (which is where the model number would have been, but it was ground off) There are also instances within the Hologram mark time period, where the mark is SO light it is almost invisible.Shane T.
