They began making these Swan teapots in the 1930s and continued in production (except during World War II) until the early 1970s. However, remarkably of them date to the 1950s or 1960s. They were made from an aluminum or zinc alloy and chrome plated to make them shiny, a finish that the company trade-marked as Cromalin Plate.
