I have a set of those nested Revere Ware SS bowls, too. I bought mine
in 1978 or so.

The ring on the side of the Revere mixing bowls is very nice for holding
the bowl steady while mixing or beating. Ditto while pouring batter
into a pan. I use mine for hand-beating cornbread batter.

My mom's set of Revere SS mixing bowls circa 1951 did not come with
tight fitting snap-on plastic lids. The Revere Ware SS bowls I bought
for myself did.
