I cannot find any information on this pattern other than the fact that this was a promotional design for American Oil (AMOCO) customers, similar to the way Shell Oil had the Green & Blue Macrame made as a promotional for their customers.
I have seen several different pieces in this pattern. The above picture is from a 1 3/4 quart Saucepan at the Good Will, but there are many others.
The 1.5 quart oblong loaf pan (P-4-B)
Other pieces known to exist are the P-309 Pie Plate, the P-43 Petite pan as well as the P-10-B 10 inch Skillet.
As far as I have been able to discern, unlike the Shell Oil Medallion pattern, the American Oil pattern predates 1972, so all pieces are P-series.
Where is your Corningware??

I am really enjoying your blog. One question, do you know if the handles for the P series are dishwasher or dishwashing safe? I found one at a thrift store that seems to have something like rust on the inside. trying to think of a way to clean/restore it.

ReplyDeleteCrazy Blogger.... Anyway, I would suggest cleaning with a scrubby sponge and Barkeepers Friend... The dishwasher will damage the Bakelite handle.
