Can anyone please tell me who made this roll pan?  The only visible mark is "950" on the back.  ftp://[ftp][/ftp]

[size=12]Again, Griswold.  Many (but not all) of their muffin pans had 3-digit p/ns starting with "9".  That looks to me like a New England Style No. 11 French Roll pan, if you're looking for more info.  Griswold's p/n for the NES No. 11 (which your pan might have marked on the tops of the divider tabs between cups,) was 950.[/size]

[size=12]Probably Variation 4, if you want to get that picky.  That designation comes from a guidebook called Griswold Muffin Pans by Jon B. Haussler.[/size]

Anthony, the Muffin/Gem pans are a real learning curve!  The No. 11 French Roll Pan (P/N 950 has at least 11 variations... I think a few more have been identified since the Yellow Book was published in 1997) :)   Clear pictures showing all marking on top and bottom are critical to identifying each pan, for sure!   I suspect your pan is a variation 5 , but it could be the variation 4.  Either way, these are fairly common pans with values from $30-$50 by today's standards. (I usually cut the Yellow Book values in half).  These values are predicated upon a fully restored pan being in Excellent Condition. :) :)

Thanks for the info.  I'm going to try some corn dogs in it.  Should be interesting.  :)

That is a couple of my attempts at corn dogs.   They even warm up for lunch the next day real nice.   The last go round, I diced up the dogs and Mike it into the cornbread mix before I poured it in.    The ones done in the muffin cups could have probably used a few more minutes but they were delicious nonetheless.    I need to get around to posting the recipe I used.  :)   good luck with them.    I LOVE my corn stick pans soooooo much.

[size=12]I think Variation 5 has the abbreviation "No." printed backwards with respect to the other text.  In the pictures, "No." on this pan is printed with the "o" towards the "11," or forwards. 

But it's splitting hairs.[/size]
