FIRE KING IS "HOT" BUT JUST HOW OLD ARE YOUR PIECES?

Fire King pieces can have several different marks, or maybe even no mark at all~I don't have a buyers guide for Fire King, or for many other items that I collect due toa lack ofroom onmy bookshelves! So I lookon the web for information often.I did find this information on a website..it is very helpful in determining the age of Fire King pieces. If the piece says~FIRE KING (block letters) it dates 1942-45. If the mark is OVEN FIRE-KING GLASS is mid 1940's. OVEN FIRE-KING WARE is mid to late 40's. OVEN Fire-King WARE MADE IN USA (Fire King in script) is 1951-60.ANCHOR HOCKING OVEN Fire-King WARE MADE IN USA (Fire King inscript) is 1960-late 60's. ANCHOR HOCKING OVEN Fire-King DINNERWARE MADE IN USA (Fire King inscript) is from late 60's-early 70's. ANCHOR HOCKINGFire-King OVENPROOF MADE IN USA (Fire King in script) is late 1970's. ANCHOR HOCKINGOVEN Fire-King Suburbia OVEN PROOF MADE IN USA (Fire King in script) is from the late 70's. There may also be numbers with the mark..these are for factory reference and don't apply to the date. I hope this is helpful!!
