PAT-D AUG 1867 Skillet
« on: May 28, 2016, 10:45:05 AM »
A recent find, anyone have any info on the pan or the patent it refers too? It is a shallow pan, light weight. And another question wth that brazing, or welding repair is it safe to use. It obviously had been used after this repair, but want to be sure. Thanks y'all.

That's a nice pan even with the repair. I have a skillet with a fancy handle that has a repair like that.
I can't see the color of the weld very well in the photo, but it looks like it would either be copper-zinc (brass), or copper-tin (bronze). I would say you could cook something fatty in it, but avoid acidic food. Whatever the brazing material, the melting point is lower than cast iron. I wouldn't put it under the broiler!

I've talked to Jim about this one, but thought I'd put it out there. I really like this pan.

Thanks Russell, my daughter knows a metallurgist she just told me she can get him to take a look at that weld.

and no-one mentioned the Patent. That patent is the marker for one lip spiders to two lip. Though some Hollow Ware makers and Stove Companies may have made them prior but not in abundance.

One lipped Fry Pans were made up to 1900 depending on the area (mostly around MA).

It took a while for other areas to catch on outside of the Albany/Troy area.
