Interesting muffin pan

[ysageev]

Just got this recently.  What other foundries besides Griswold made the H-frame French roll pan? What do you think of the casting (finish, beveling)?  

It seems to me the font and writing style are very similar to that found on several Griswold Vienna Roll pans.  Also, the word "No" with the small, elevated "o" reminds me of the some other muffin pan variations.

Yair, there are several small variations of this pan.  I think yours is an earlier one.  Later they added some reinforcing webbing on the bottom of the pan plus I think the writing was even more crisp.  Also, I thought I had seen one on ebay marked as a No.10 but it was the same pan.  Not Griswold as far as I have ever known.  Griswold used straight handles on the ends.  These are very nicely cast pans but not rare.  I've had 3 or 4 over the years and have seen many more.  No idea of the maker which is a shame as the casting quality is so high.

Steve, Might that different numbered variation of this pan been a 12? I have several variations of this muffin pan, one of which is marked No. 12. I haven't seen a variation marked 10, but that doesn't mean it's not out there.

Harry, you could be right on it being a 12.  I know it was one digit off from the normal 11 pan.
