As per curatorial worksheet: "Cocotte-minute fabriquée au Canada et utilisée fort probablement à Ottawa. Il a été offert en don par un citoyen d’Ottawa à l’organisme Help with Furniture pour venir en aide aux nouveaux arrivants et/ou les personnes en difficultés financières à Ottawa. A compter des années 1950, les foyers canadiens utilisent de plus en plus les cocottes-minutes. Les conditions d’emploi s’étaient améliorées au Canada pendant les années 1950 et par ricochet, le niveau de vie de plusieurs foyers canadiens. Ayant davantage d’argent pour les dépenses discrétionnaires et le fait que le coût des appareils domestiques avait diminué en raison de la production à plus grande échelle, les Canadiens s’équipaient de nouvelles technologies domestiques. Cette cocotte minute est identique à 1999.0029. Toutefois, celle-ci a été adaptée à la mode du jour soit les couleurs de la nature. Elle était disponible en jaune moisson, vert avocat, brun. L’acheteur avait choisi la couleur or moisson. La firme Supreme Aluminum a été fondée en 1920 par Harold Victor Lush à Scarborough à l’est de Toronto sous le nom de Metal Stampings Ltd (MSL) Elle se spécialisait au début dans la manufacture de ``brass stampings`` pour l’industrie électrique mais vint assez vite à produire des casseroles en aluminium. En 1938, son fils Sheldon se joignit à la compagnie. La production se diversifia avec le temps pour inclure des moules de toutes sortes, des cocottes-minutes et même pendant un certain temps, des arbres de Noël en aluminium. En 1950, le nom de la firme change pour Supreme Aluminum Industries Ltd.(SAIL) Sa production incluait les noms de commerce Supreme, Wear-Ever et Presto. La compagnie Supreme Aluminum Industries contrôlait au Canada la production des articles de cuisson (cooking utensils) de la firme Aluminum Goods Limited. En 1955 la compagnie comptait 226 employés. Alcan acheta des parts de la compagnie en 1961 et les vendit en 1981. En 1985, la compagnie fut vendue à des intérêts américains et ferma peu de temps après. Fait intéressant, les employés détenaient des parts dans la compagnie."
