Does anyone know how old my Revere ware might be?

Depending on the type of steam release valve, the first model (with a pressure gauge) was made for only two years (1940-1942). A revised model was brought out in 1942 but because iof the War, was not put in distribution until 1945 - it used a system of three small weighted disks and was very reliable and lasted until the 1960's. There were several versions put out since then, but nothing to equal that 1942-65 model. Don't give up on finding parts--The Shine Shop is getting them together as we e-mail!

That pan with the Paul Revere signature on the bottom is part of the Signature Collection that Revere put out from 1967 - 1985. it is copper on the outside bonded to stainless steel on the inside, and has a solid brass handle. Those pans were made more for show than use - the copper layer isn't thick enough to keep food from burning, and the handles are too thin to hold securely (they also get as hot as the pan itself!) They changed to a thick copper core with stainless on the inside and outside in 1984, but closed the line down in 1986-7, so it's hard to find.
