Hello Thomas. Welcome to WAGS. Thats a nice piece for sure. Do you think you can post a picture of the underneath side of the pan. I think there is a lid that fits on top the pan.

Also Thomas, if you look at this ebay auction you will see your pan and the lid that I am talking about. Somebody painted it red, why, I have no clue.  :-/

Thomas, putting a value on your pan and grill is very speculative. The pictures lack close up detail, and you don’t include pertinent information like if the pan has any pitting or warping, and also if the grill sits flat. The 4-legged grills do not always sit on all-fours, and that’s probably why they switched to a 3-legged version. Yours has a draft door, so it is not the oldest of the 4-legged grills.
The good part is that your pan is an original with the rectangular handles. It should have “sportsman” under one of the handles. Cleaned up and seasoned in good condition, this pan fetches 60+ on ebay by itself. And Perry, I don’t believe this first fish pan had a lid. The lid came after they switched to rounded handles.
The grill itself could easily bring the same, but only after a good cleaning and seasoning can one tell.
Here’s a photo of my 4-legged grill. Note the lack of a draft door, and raised lettering where the draft door would normally slide.

Thanks Russell, your information helped me as well. I have two of the grills with Atlanta Stove Works written at the draft door openings. All the time I have been searching for draft doors and if I understand you correctly they did not even have a draft door.

Perry I have seen that roaster style somewhere's before I think. Did Columbus Iron works have a bottom like that I wonder.

Hello Rick. Yes Columbus Iron Works has a grill like that. Also when I said there was a lid for it I was not trying to imply what came with what or where, I was only saying there is a lid for it. Here are some pictures of my Columbus Iron Works with the lid.
