My better half has a nice set of stainless steel All-clad pots & pans in the kitchen. I put some salt in one of the sauce pans with some water I was to boil pasta in and let it sit a a boil too long... The bottome of the pan now looks like that poor Parker's action (it's not a reciever as far as I know because it receives nothing). I'm not sure if they are early Parker colors or Fox...hmmm...
