Green Dots & Squares Bowl!

I went to an antiques flea market yesterday and saw this salad bowl set.  I'd never seen it before, so I snapped it up (even bargained with the seller to lower the price).  I offered him $5 less than he was asking and he replied, "Sure, my wife's not here right now...", with a smile.  Lucky me!
From what I've found online, this was a one-time promotional run and fairly scarce.  Do any of you know more about it -- the years it was produced, what promotion it was offered with and whether the fork and spoon came with it?  They match it VERY well!
Anyway, I've been doing the happy dance over this one!

    Here's a link to Flickr and a 1972 Pyrex catalogue - it did come with the salad tongs!!

    I love this bowl - I found it last year, but sadly, no tongs....

    I can't believe you found it with the tongs! Well done.

    I just bought the same thing the other day with the tongs. So that's at least 2 sets still in existence. Was sooooo happy to find it with the tongs.
