Here's a parts list of bowls, lids, pans etc that were available in the year 1977.  This will be included in the upcoming age guide relaunch. Enjoy!  :D

No but it's looking as though yours came out the next year. Your dark greenie has no date code right? :D

Right.

And, I've been thinking '78 since it's the same as my faded black.

More curious at this point to know if this particular color carried into '79+

I believe it did.  Check out the following thread. 
Scroll down to the 3rd pic, and you'll see what appears to be a double rivet (bowl and lid) green. Probably a "B" or "C" code .. @Craig ??

@dazzo The Dark Green was available in 1978 & 1979. It was renamed "Forrest Green" by 1981 which is what the third picture is of in that link you posted, @MacEggs:) I tried to get that one absorbed into the WKC but it was gone... :(

Incidentally, there is a Dark Blue that also has a no date code. I have to find the link.
