I have been made aware of some mis-identification happening regarding the Franklin Bean Pot so decided to create an informational post.
The "Franklin Bean Pot" was introduced in 1967.
According to original Accounting Documents the Franklin Bean Pot was sold two ways:
1. As a Kit
2. As a Pot and Cover
It is not known if the Pot and Cover version of the Franklin Bean Pot was sold as Regular Cookware, as there are no Catalogs currently known or available from 1967 thru 1977.
A NIB set will show the original markings on the LID and notice the Design of the "bail" attachment.
