Dave, the Mar-crest name was put on hundreds of different items including Mar-crest knives, spoons, tv trays, tablecloths and napkins, etc. Most were sent to variety stores in the 50's and 60's. The only Mar-crest I know anything about is specifically the stoneware pieces that were premiums at grocery stores during the same time. Sorry. Here's a link to a current eBay auction of a Mar-crest potato masher. Good luck!
Btw, if you learn of a site that has info on your item and other similar Mar-crest pieces (not the stoneware items) would you send me a link? Thanks
