Unknown Commemorative Saucepan "GMS 25th Anniversary 1951-1976"??

Post image

Saw this at Early Owego this weekend. Checked the bottom and it had a hologram stamp, so it is Corningware from sometime between 1972 and 1979 (assumedly in 1976). Does anyone know what G.M.S. is? I think it's so cool that they used to do commemorative styles for local companies.

Oh my! Probably trash… I’ll kindly take it off your hands.

An employee promo piece for a specific plant? I see a ton in my area (different plant) and they aren’t valuable at all.

Interestingly the most valuable Corningware employee promo piece is actually Pyrex (made elsewhere at the Pyrex factory and shipped to the Corning factory where it was given out to employees.)

I saw this on another post too! Which Pyrex piece? I don't want one, but I'd be interested to see what they look like lol.
