Unmarked Number 5 Skillet BSR?
« on: November 25, 2014, 12:54:31 PM »
Just picked another little skillet, Have not cleaned it yet but figured I would try to identify it, Smooth bottom no heat ring, slightly offset number 5 on bottom with a dot or period after the 5, scooped underside of handle. The handle seems short for the size of the skillet

Yes BSR. They apparently had a short-lived series  of smoothed bottomed skillets. Very nice find.
