The intrepid reporters were researching the "WHAZZIT" pictures presented
by Bob Allison, and, as you know, the search has been very difficult,
and many solutions found. Your reporters formed a committee and came to

On further examination, we believe this is a representation of the first
stackable cookware.  Notice the handle on the larger pan. Historically,
this was a collossal bomb. The inventors only came out with two sizes of
pan, ( a dutch oven and a custard cup ). The picture does give a
fascinating view of early advertising efforts. One question does arise.
We wonder why they put that coctail olive with a toothpick in the cup????
Hmmm.
