Al Carder's was a steak house in Chicago. Griswold made the Service Kettle found on pg. 146 Blue Book, Wagner made the Sizzliing Steak Platters on pgs. 101-2 Red Book. Being aluminum and with more pieces in that line, I'd guess more likely Wagner made than Griswold.

Neat Newspaper Article on Al Carder's Restaurant... 1929

http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2194&dat=19290202&id=gmouAAAAIBAJ&sjid=rNkFAAAAIBAJ&pg=6681,405061



Just musing.... if he jobbed out to Griswold and Wagner, I'm thinking may have jobbed out to other companies also....

True Cheryl, and possibly not even a cast iron foundry.  Some of the other ones in the area would have been Western Foundry (Mi-Pet) or CHF, neither one known for aluminum pieces that I know of.
