I bought a set of Seal O Matic before I got married 50 years ago last April. It is still as good as it was the day I got it. I have gotten some new handles. They used to be guaranteed for life and were replaced free, but now I have to pay for them. Two of the pans had to be replaced, and they aren't nearly as good as the original ones were. My husband was flabbergasted the the pots and pans cost more than our first refrigerator, but we're on our 4th refrig. and on our first set of pots and pans.
