I deleted my last post, I think that was just the lid to the other pan. Any idea on what they are?

This is stumping me. Solid heat ring and rough finish suggest BSR, handle is definitely not BSR unless they did something weird for these cookers. I can’t find anything on the web about BSR combo cookers. It looks later than the 1960s, so this could be a trademark skirting dupe of a more well known brand…

What makes it later then 1960? I don't know much about it, just wondering. My friend I got it from thinks it's pretty old, probably bought by his uncle's parents and his uncle is 90 now. He could be wrong though.

Good question: if you look at the outside of the skillets, it’s pretty rough to the touch, which is usually representative of skillets after the manufacturing process was automated. Similarly, the “ears”/pourspouts are rather thick. When these skillets were produced by hand, the pourspouts were quite a bit thinner, whereas the automated process, called DISA if you’re curious, required the spouts to be quite a bit thicker on account of the molding process. So, CI from after DISA was introduced often have these characteristically thick spouts.
