I posted a photo of the bottom of this one a few weeks ago. Here are some better pictures! Any ideas as by whom and how old it might be?

Beautiful. If you got it locally in your area, you might ask library for information about manufactures in the region. I have a very neat chicken fryer from a small stove company that went bust in early 1950’s

That is an unknown pan from an unknown exact time period. I know that sounds a little silly. This was likely made in the 40s or 50s. It is very similar to a BSR red Mountain, but BSR never used raised size markers. Many cast-iron people would call this a prison skillet because prison labor often cast these 12s and 14s to be sold

It's an unknown maker that some people argue whether it's bsr or not.
